Police cannot prevent crime from happening they enforce law they cannot predict when or where a crime is about to happen but help reduce crime.

come on, it could be the last thing they do. Police officers put their life on the line everyday for people who cannot even say so much as a thank you.

Social Activism A historian named Robert Darnton once said, “The marvels of communication technology in the present have produced a false consciousness about the past—even a sense that communication has no history, or had nothing of importance to consider before the days of television and the Internet” (Gladwell). This quote does an excellent job of showing what social networking sites have ultimately caused in today’s world. In today’s day and age people are using the internet all the time for…

some police officers leading to the unnecessary deaths has seen the US security forces being on the spot concerning their work ethics.
