1,186. 1,186 is the number of people killed by police in 2015 (Petrohilos, 2015). In 1991, Rodney King could’ve been one of those numbers, with the perpetrators getting off scot-free. The acquittal of the four officers who brutally attacked Rodney King was an outrage to the American people as well as being the catalyst for the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. Rodney King was driving one night when he was pulled over and beaten by police. Upwards of one-hundred miles per hour, Rodney King’s car was…
Whether it be the Boston bombings, Moncton shootings, Jeffery Dahmer killings, or the sandy hook massacre; each one of these horrific events always leave a very bad taste in our mouth. It really makes you ask yourself if news and media companies should be reporting these occurrences live for the whole world to see. In my personal opinion, I think the act of reporting violet crimes on the news or any other form of media should be completely restricted and boycotted. Not only does reporting…
A slight vibration echoes in the room where I spent my summer’s vacations; the humid air of West Virginia seemed to contribute to the anxiety that suddenly possessed my body. Just a few months ago seemed like a life time ago as my best friend promised to continue our friendship even after a nasty fight with jealousy. Hoping she would want to talk it out, my finger touched the accept button and heard her voice. Her familiar voice that I had made laugh when I told a joke, her voice that shook as…

His continued drive for educational opportunities and improvement within the law…
the grocery store, I said that I was going to come right after practice (which is true) and I was not sure whether or not I could make the barbeque because of my practice – not true. I knew I was being dishonest, and that it was not being a Good Samaritan, nonetheless, I did not feel like I had the time to go to the grocery store to buy something for the barbeque. It made me feel bad for lying, especially because they were making a great event for everyone, and I felt like a bad person for being…
Raised with a religious family, religion seemed to be a routine instead of voluntary faith. Every Sunday morning, a thunderous sound from the church bell is always rung indicating that a mass was about to start. Dressed by one of my four pairs of my usual “church appropriate” clothes that alternated every week, I took my time to groom myself preparing for today’s mass. Before stepping outside of my room, I gazed at myself at the mirror, pondering if I’m going to do this for the rest of my life.…
the Nobel Peace Prize to Philadelphia Liberty award, presented to him from former United States president Bill Clinton. His struggle anti-apartheid has led him to write many novels, but what most people don’t know is that he has not always a good Samaritan.

Keywords: Dealings, Terrorist, Exceptional,…
The War on Drugs has been going on for almost the past half a century in the United States. The war has dominated our law enforcement and how we view our fellow Americans. Our inner cities have become prime targets with many low income communities turning to drug trade and crime. When these people are put in the line of fire for just trying to make ends meet, then something needs to change. Not only has it hurt the wallets of our citizens, but it has also weighed down our government’s. Addicts…
