all of which are actions the police can stop you for violating. Since America’s population is composed of about 14% who identify as African American and 62% who identify as caucasian, we can assume that the racial statistic of those pulled over by cops would mirror the same statistic (United States Census Bureau). However, the demographic data does not reflect that of the states of those pulled over by driving mistakes. Blacks are three times as likely to get pulled over…

statistics. The effort resulted in the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), a program that collects data on each reported crime incident” (Siegel et al., 2015, pg32). The cops said well this must be the one that is most reliable. However I was not convinced, how reliable could a source of data be if the cops in a major city did not even know what it was. This led me to my next quest why was NIBRS not a reliable source of data? after reading the text book I still thought this…

was guilty for the crimes of her father and stepmother because the cops found that part of her story was false, she tried to buy poison, and the police found no signs of forced entry.My opinion on that Lizzie Borden is guilty is true because there is evidence that proves my claim is correct. One important reason that shows that Lizzie Borden is guilty is because the cops found that part of Lizzie’s story was false. When the cops on August 4, 1892 searched the whole property they found no…

A lot of people don’t like police and don’t exactly understand the history and the reasoning behind weapons and why police do what they do. I am definitely not saying that in all cases the cops were just doing there jobs, I do believe that there are bad cops out there and unfortunately since they can not do their job correctly without harming or hurting someone or themselves, people view police officers and the task force a whole lot differently.

and eventually this male gets tired of it because it is something that will definitely be frustrating. This happens when cops are racist and don’t understand that all people are equal and that a colored person will work as hard as a white to have a nice car. This has become a significant issue because a lot of cops have been recently gone to trials due to the fact many white cops have taken out all their police force against colored people.

be next. The little girl across the street could be next. Remember that time when we were at a stop light and the cop car pulled up next to us? You told me to be still and be silent. On the outside I was calm for your sake, but inside, my blood was boiling because the fact that those words even came out of your mouth is a mistake. You always ask me why I hate cops. It’s because they cop all the support when another black teen gets shot. I’m starting to feel as if everyone is blind. This whole…

rolling away from the scene of his crime. Then, without warning, everything went awry. A bored Highway cop noticed that mcveigh's battered old mercury Sedan lacked a rear plate and pulled him over. The kid was polite, the cop after testified but he seemed a tad, well preoccupied. And when the cop glanced around the car's interior, he noticed what appears to be the butt of a pistol” (Franklin).
