One hundred and seventeen police officers died in 2014, and one was a police officer from Placer County Sheriff. His name was Mike Davis and gunned down on October 24th, 2014 with another officer from Sacramento County. Since 1791, 20538 police officers have died in the line of duty. Also, videos have ruined their reputation, like a San Francisco homeless man who resisted arrest, but the bystanders did not see him kick the officer. Finally, the reason why there is police is to stop people from killing other people.. To conclude, police officers deserve credit and honor than they have been receiving right now because they risk their lives to make our world safer.

Women’s history in the United States has always been represented as a struggle for rights. Wealth and status were tied to either their fathers or husbands. In the early 1900s, women were afforded the traditional roles of society. The majority of women worked in the home. If they were of the 18% young or poor women, they also worked in factories as laborers, manufacturing items for the booming industrial revolution (U.S. Department of Labor, 1980). During this time period the workplace was not in compliance with current safety standards. There was no minimum wage yet, work conditions were horrible and they worked long hours, “In 1900, the average workweek in manufacturing was 53 hours,” (Fisk, 2003). Women took “pink

In the average person’s life seeing someone who had died in a car accident, been murdered, or committed suicide would be traumatic event that they would distinctly remember for the rest of their lives. Police officers encounter these type of events on a regular basis. Seeing those type of events and more go beyond just stress. These are traumatic events that wear on officers over time and can have serious negative mental health effects. In 2008 there were 141 officer suicides, in 2009 there were 143, and then another 126 in 2012. In the last six months on 2015 there were 51 police officer suicides. These numbers are well above the national average for suicides. There are many years where more officers take their own lives then are taking while in the line of duty and most years they are at least similar in numbers. It’s truly a tragedy that officers are as likely to kill themselves as to be killed by criminals. What is possibly most frightening about all of this isn’t just the high number of suicides, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, it’s the even higher number of officers who are currently at risk to become suicidal themselves. For every officer suicide there are at least another 1000 officers currently suffering from some symptoms of PTSD.

Ironically, “Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or, were armed or threatening the officer with potentially lethal force.” “Alternatively, some believe that these statistics are

Police shootings are unfortunate events but whenever there is a shooting, the topic of race emerges. Police shootings have always been the highlights on news channels and there is always the racially biased narrative that keeps repeating itself yet no one seems to dispute this narrative. However, did you know that studies show a police officer is eighteen and a half times more likely to be killed by a African American male than an unarmed African American male is to be killed by a police officer? In fact, a recent “deadly force” study by Washington State University researcher Lois James found that police officers were actually less likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect than unarmed Caucasian or Hispanic suspect in simulated threat scenarios. Some would argue that there are still police shootings all over America and they occur when police officers

Ida B. Wells was born a slave in Holly Springs, Mississippi, on July 16, 1862. About six months after her birth, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Even though the document released slaves, the Wells family faced racial prejudices and were restricted by discriminatory rules and practices. Her father, James Wells was active in the Republican Party during Reconstruction. She received early schooling because her father’s position in government. Ida had to drop out of school at the age of 16, when a tragedy affected the family. Both of her parents and one of her siblings died in a yellow fever outbreak.

The driver was eighteen years old and was revving his engine at the crowd because they had flooded into the streets without permit. This goes to show that the need for a solution in decreasing and or stopping this crime is overdue. Other crimes that are majorly affecting America are the amount of innocent minorities being killed and the cases of police abuse. In 2015 the total death percentage of minorities was at a new record of 1,199 deaths. Fifteen percent of these deaths were racial, (rt.com). That's five times more than how many white men were killed. For example, there was a thirty four year old unarmed father of four named Rumain Brisbon who, on December 2, 2014, was shot to death by cops because they had mistaken his bottle of pills for a gun, (Gawker.com). This has been proving to be a major problem and something needs to be done about it. There have been over 4861 reports of police abuse in America and that's only from five percent of the law enforcement agencies in America that voluntarily gave this knowledge to the public, (Copcrisis.com). It is shown that Eighty Four percent of the time police officers use more force than necessary when on the job, (copcrisis.com). It is also, said that forty three

This week’s lesson was also again a helpful review on something I already knew and reminded me of others that upset me in ways. I knew that The Bill of Rights is made up of the first Ten amendments to the U.S. Constitutional and the United States was the first nation to adopt a federal system of government. I also knew exclusionary evidence cannot be used if it was illegally seized in trail and ex post facto laws make an act punishable as a crime even if the act was legal when it was committed. These are prohibited by Article I of the Constitution. Since I am a police officer I must know this so going through the academy is when I learn this. The first Ten amendments you have to know within the first two weeks of the academy and you must know the words behind them.

A report made on May 31st shows that at least 385 people have been killed by American police since 2015 has started. FBI reports show that over the past decade, the annual average for fatal shootings by police is about 400, and this year they are close to surpassing that only half-way through the year. Two thirds of these people have been either African American or Hispanic with one in six of them being unarmed at the time of the shooting. More than 80 percent of the shootings were because of what had started as minor things that escalated into assaults. This is important because police brutality has become a bigger issue with police being more likely to shoot with race in mind.

This is not the first officer killed in the United States but this is the 20th police officer killed this year and it is a disturbing thing to have our law enforcers

Police suicide is more directly related to relationship problems than to job stress! Of the last 14

I feel like I learned a lot from this course. I think, overall, this course was very eye-opening and made me understand, and want to better understand, issues involving gender and how they effect society. I would say the one of the most important pieces of information I learned was just how much the idea of gender and gender roles influences everyday life. I had never really thought too much about the determents of gender or traditional masculine and feminine ideals before this class, and how we as a society promote and encourage the belief that a person’s gender or sex creates different innate, natural attitudes and attributes. Learning about how important society’s views of gender is, and how it affects the way we learn and think, makes me look at our culture in a different way. For example, before this class I never realized how much women are objectified and put under intense Photoshop in advertisements. This better understanding of the way society is helps me take a step back and look at our culture in a different way, and allows me to become more aware of the issues surrounding gender, sex, and the ideals of masculinity and femininity.
