Police of The Wire

African-American men have been brutally murdered by the police and this has sparked anger and rage in the black community towards police officers that put their lives down every day to protect and serve their communities.

convictions were upheld. At the time, Chief Justice William Howard Taft delivered the Court's opinion, stating that the language of the Fourth Amendment " . . . can not be extended and expanded to include telephone wires reaching the whole world from the defendant's house or office. The intervening wires are not of his house or office, any more than are the highways along which they are stretched . . .

The cold open from The Wire episode “Old Cases” is a supplementary event that demonstrates the communication failures within Lieutenant Daniel’s detail of the Baltimore Police Department. The scene opens with a medium shot of Hauk’s foot and tilts up to show Hauk struggling to push a desk through a doorway. Given the nature of Hauk’s character on the show, it is unsurprising that his approach to maneuvering the desk through the doorway is through the use of force and physical strength. In this…

As Esperanza begins “thawing” and as she and Estevan find sanctuary in Oklahoma, it symbolizes…

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.”Elie Wiesel said this in his speech after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. We must know how to take sides to help us be the voice for all of these people that have been silenced due to dehumanization. The Holocaust was a genocide during World War II in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany systematically murdered some seven million European Jews.…

not harm is done, but for others they do not think that is possible. The first taser was invented in 1974 by Jack Cover and it was named Thomas A. Swift Electronic Rifle (SunSentinel, 2005). This taser used gun powder to shoot the darts out by the wire connected to the gun. The invention did not go anyway until 1991 when two brothers Rick and Tom Smith worked on the device because they wanted a device that was non-lethal (SunSentinel, 2005).

Due to the acquittal of police officer’s beating of a black man named Rodney King, who’s attack was caught on film, the city…
