The Fifth Discipline

The abuse of power happens when citizens aren’t given their rights. As we have all seen recently and since the 90s, police act on their own agenda. According to Bandes, “First of all, police brutality is unlikely to be inflicted on non-minority members of the middle class.

Texas 570 US __ (2013)…

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law". This famous warning was created because of the well-known case known as Miranda vs. Arizona. In which Ernesto Miranda from Arizona was convicted of various crimes but was let free. Due to the fact that he was unaware of his rights at the time, so…

Belanger obtained information from a Government operated website…
