Los Angeles. Full of anger, once they stopped him, they jumped on him and started beating him saying that King resisted arrest, wasn’t obeying their commands and that he was either on drugs or drunk. An eyewitness videotaped officer’s using their tasers on him, kicking, stomping and beating King with batons. The officers beat him for approximately two minutes, giving king 56 blows from a baton and kicked 6 times. King also had 11 skull fractures, brain damage and kidney damage. Four of the…

There are multiple tables and figures that were provided in Chapter 10 which is use of force. Table 10.1 on page 324, showed the number of police officers that have been killed accidentally while on the duty. Data from 2001 to 2010 has showed that over 400 police officers were killed in automobile accident which is the highest reason for officer’s death. The second highest was struck by vehicle with little over 100 death. Figure 10.2 discussed fairly new law that was law that was made in Florida…

the 22-year-old Bay resident, was on his way to celebrate New Year’s with his friends. Grant, along with his friends were asked to exit a train by two police officers. One of the officers slammed Oscar on the ground and reached for his taser. Instead of his taser, the officer grabbed his gun. He was shot in cold blood and died. African-Americans feel colored only when they are held against a white…

This is the oath that all police officers take. This says that they will serve the community, but is rolling down the streets in older models of current military vehicles considered serving? The definition of militarization is to equip with military forces and defenses and also to adapt for military use (Merriam-Webster) .The police departments around the nation are over militarized and instead of a riot shield barrier between the police and its community I advocate for the police personnel to…

me a little anxiety just thinking of this. I do not feel confident enough that I nor anyone else is fully trained to use that gun appropriately. I do believe a teacher does need some form of protection and an alternative to a gun could be a Taser. The Taser will not kill anyone but it would allow you to get the situation under control and buy some time until help…

Police officers have a lot of work to do, and with all that work, there are a lot of responsibility. Police officers are trained to use anything against threatening and harm, but some officers are known to take advantage of that power. It is a police misconduct, it also include false arrest, intimidation, racial profiling, political repression, surveillance abuse, sexual abuse, and police corruption. Policing puts both men and women in a dangerous and stressful situation when dealing with…

being bullied by her classmates. People are cruel, at all ages. Anyone can get fed up and take things to extreme measures. I live in an area where many people go hunting, and kids have easy access to guns. Students can easily sneak a gun, knife, or taser into their backpacks. If teachers had a concealed weapon, many students would not try to attack other students on campus. Lastly, a massive problem with school shootings is intruders. At Sandy Hook Elementary School, twenty children and six…

Farley.Session1.Journal I use to look at teenagers dressed in all black or “Emo”, with blue or green colored hair, scars on their arm from cutting or other forms of self-harm or was listing to screaming music as teens that were just out of control. I see them as a threat to the public’s safety. I was very uneducated. My oldest daughter was having problems with her dad. They had a very disconnected relationship. To say the very least it was far from being healthy for either one of them. It…

avoid senseless deaths, such as Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin. Other forms of police protection should be created instead of guns when stopping someone only on suspicion. There has got to be other forms of police protection. In my opinion, the Tasers are a better way of dealing with someone when you are unsure if they have a gun or not. At least, the person would have a chance to live verses just shooting…
