) “Racial profiling usually refers to targeting individuals by using race and ethnicity as indicators of criminality” (Maguire/Okada, 2015,pg.135). This topic is a huge when it comes to law enforcement because they are cops out there that intentionally do it to capture the bad guys. As Del Carmen (2009) said that “this was a huge system during the days that Jim Crow Laws existed. He also stated that drug courier profiles have been used federal, sate, and local law enforcement officials to…
western view. For instance, at work I change, my voice to make it sound more appealing and genuine and I also change the words I would use compared to the ones I would use in an average conversation with my friends or family. Even if I am not in a good mood you can always find me smiling and laughing with a customer. When we are busy at work I make sure I listen carefully to what the customer who is ordering is saying and how they specifically want their order. If we are not as busy I will take…
torture then kill him, a cop suddenly came into the house. Although Mortimer was all tied up and clearly in danger, the cop was so stupid that Jonathan was able to get out of trouble. He told the cop that Mortimer was just showing him what had happened to this one dude in the play Mortimer had watched earlier that…
another big reason why some would assume that police brutality is common because one case that happens in 2014 where police officers killed a young African American teenager by using excessive force and cops were wrong, but that case was all over the news saying police brutality this and that! Yes, cops do wrong and brutal treatments, but that happening is super rare. If the question was is unfair police brutality happening in the US, I would be the first one to tell you that it does and happens…
boy, around our age, was outside and he was playing an innocent game of cops and robbers with a FAKE gun with a friend, when a cop came around and shot him, fearing for his own life even though the kid was 13 Years old! THe bullet went right through his chest, leaving him paralyzed, unable to do many things that we take for granted, like playing soccer, basketball, or even going bowling, in an aspect ruining his childhood. The cop on duty, might have made much better decisions had he been…
fact that physical proof such as videos shows that such force was unwarranted and unneeded. Unfortunately, despite agreeing with you on a few things, I have to disagree with the fact that you seem to think that all cops are inherently bad. I agree that the cops in these instances are bad people and should face the consequences of their actions, but I do believe that police as a whole aren’t entirely corrupt and out looking for…
Evan Hunter uses symbols in his story “On the Sidewalk Bleeding” to convey the theme of murder can sometimes be prevented by strangers willing to lend a helping hand. If someone is in need of help you should help them even if they are not that good of a person. In the story in “The Sidewalk Bleeding” if someone would have helped Andy he might have survived. Andy was stabbed because of his jacket, the jacket was a gang jacket so someone in a rival gang stabbed him. If Andy didn't have the jacket…
the faults in Grover’s Corners in order to create the Cop in Middletown. Next Eno uses the Stage Manager’s willingness to reminisce about the past to create the Mechanic. Through both parallels between the Stage Manager and the similar, yet more sinister characters that Eno creates; the idea that Eno is strongly misreading…
comes to understanding what community oriented policing is and what it takes to adopt a community-oriented program. Many might say that community policing is soft on crime and that it moves away from “real police work.” However, with community policing cops just have a lot more options when handling jobs. What community policing does is move away from seeing number of arrests or summonses given as the only way to measure performance and evaluate police…
According to Jorah Mormont, “It’s tempting to see your enemies as evil, but there’s good and evil on both sides of every war ever fought.” This is fundamental in The Red Riding Trilogy. No one knows how deep the corruption is until it is too late. Those that were thought to be good were evil and those thought to be evil were good. The baddies at no point tried to hide how bad they were or how far they were willing to take things. Their motto was, “To the North- we do what we want.” They were…
