Edward Johnson Situation Analysis

On the morning of parks trial buses rumbled nearly empty through the streets of Montgomery. By the next morning the council led by Jo Ann Robinson had printed 52,000 fliers asking, Montgomery blacks to stay off the buses. It was an important and an accepted rule that whites sit in the front and the African American riders had to sit in the back of all buses. A group of about 50 African American leaders and one white minister, Robert Graetz, gathered in the basement of Dr. King?s church to endorse the boycott and begin planning a massive rally.

The day prior to Gray’s death, April 18th, is when the true protests began outside the Western District Police Department. Department of Justice’s were asked by congressional delegates to open a criminal and civil rights investigation on April 20th. Gene Ryan, the president of the Baltimore police union compared the protests of Gray’s death to “lynch mobs” and in doing so enraged the protesters and the citizens (Timeline: Freddie Gray’s…). After five straight days of protesting, the governor of Maryland made the decision to send state troopers to Baltimore as the protests elevated. Police city leaders on April 23rd made the executive decision to cancel leave for all officers to increase coverage of the city. A pivotal day in the protests was April 25th, the day protests turned into riots as police vehicles became targets of rage. April 27th was the day that Gray was laid to rest and the day following his funeral proved to be the most dangerous for officers. Several officers were sent for medical treatment as they clashed with rioters who plundered and tore open businesses. The National Guard was called in for reinforcement and as many as 5,000 reinforcement officers were called upon. Baltimore mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, placed a curfew on the city the night of April 27th to hopefully null remaining riots and violence. President Obama was quoted as saying,”the rioters throwing rocks at police and setting cars on fire as "criminals" and "thugs" (Timeline: Freddie Gray’s…). These rioters were detracting from legitimate concerns in the community. The curfew in place met resistance during the night of April 28th as a defiant group of rioters faced off with helmeted police officers. Baltimore Orioles changed their schedule on April 28th as they had to relocate to Florida for their upcoming games. After 200 people were arrested during the riots, over

These arrests showed the villainy of the Union and their intimidation of unarmed citizens. The second account was published on Oct. 14th. This article reported that the Daily Richmond Enquirer had received a letter from an informant in Missouri. The letter, as quoted, stated that, “In short, our citizens are being murdered by hundreds, imprisoned by thousands and robbed and plundered of their property by the hundreds of thousands, and this you may report as truth, and nothing but the truth.” All three of the detailed accounts by the daily had helped reinforce the already present resentment that existed between the Union and the citizens of Richmond. They resented the North because the Union was pillaging their fellow Southerners. They felt that they were being vandalized and victimized by the North.

Issues: The 187 African American’s were facing charges of breach of peace, appealing the conviction based on the fourteenth Amendment of due process. The protestors did not think the court has any evidence they were in breach of peace.

SPC Johnson, over the month of February we, as a Company, and you, individually, have been quite busy again. You have been doing what you can to work through what you are. Your cooperation during this time has not been overlooked and I commend you for doing what needs to be done when asked of you.

I believe that it´s the same offender in the Parkinson case and the Johnson case, which is making the offender a serial killer because he has killed 3 people and it has been over a period over 30 days. By looking at different serial killer typologies my firm belief is that this offender will fall into the lust serial killer typology. I concluded this by firstly looking if the crimes were act-focused kills or process kills, I concluded it was process kills because the offender had taken the time to abduct both Parkinson and Johnson and didn 't just kill them right away like an act-focused killer would do. With the offender being a process killer he could only be organized as well because process killers cannot be disorganized. The offender would either be a lust killer, power-control killer or a thrill killer. I concluded that the offender in this case would not be a thrill serial killer, since this kind of murderer gets off my seeing his victims suffering, which is the most important factor for this type of offender. In the Parkinson and Johnson murders there were no signs of torture on the victims bodies and therefore I do not believe that this offender would be a thrill serial killer.

Rachel Johnson is a 39 year old female with 3 children, ages Alissa 20, Calvin 13 and Jordan 8 year old. Calvin and Jordan live with their mother in a two bedroom apartment. However, Jordan and Calvin have their room whereas, Rachel sleeps on the couch. This proves problematic, especially when Jordan and Calvin’s father who is unstable comes to live with them, which is against the rules of the lease. Rachel is in need of a 3 bedroom apartment or house. James does not provide Rachel with a steady child support. Rachel has a full time job making $11 an hour, which is not enough to make ends meet and has no health insurance. Her work hours are also a problem in that the kids are often left unsupervised. Calvin is struggling in school, but

During the third chapter, we learn about George. He is eight years old and attends school at Louise A. Spencer Elementary School. George worships going to school and adores his marvelous teacher, Miss Johnson. Miss Johnson educates her third grade class about William Shakespeare. Which gets them all very fascinated in plays and drama. The students enjoyed Shakespeare so much that they formed their own club about him. Miss Johnson even bought them sweaters for their club. Miss Johnson is a very good teacher and often stays after school with her students. She also took them to New York City to see plays and concerts. One time while they were attending a play, this woman complimented the students calling them well behaved. She assumed

I have never read a book like this until we did a book pass around the room and I came across How it went down. It had me close to tears every few pages, maybe I’m just emotional but I love when books can make me feel something.

However, as Grant recounts the events of the trial in a degree of detail that suggests more than mere inference, this issue becomes more ambiguous. From Grant’s description of his aunt and Miss Emma’s thoughts, perceptions and behavior in the courtroom, to his exacting portrayal of Jefferson’s story, including details as specific as the type of wine, “Apple White” (Gaines 4), which prompts the shooting, as recounted by Jefferson through Grant in third person, to the roughly two pages of direct quotation that present the defense’s closing arguments, we are left with such a complete account of the trial that it is virtually impossible to believe Grant is not embellishing upon his own assumptions. Yet with the closing lines of this chapter, “Death by electrocution. The governor would set the date” (Gaines 9), the credibility of Grant’s implicit prediction is authenticated, leaving the reader with the impression that since the conclusion implied at the beginning is valid, and since the premises seem plausible, that these premises must at least be grounded in a degree of truth.

"ABSTRACT TREES" is an Abstract Expressionistic photography collection by Nawfal Johnson. This series shows "what else" the trees are—their symbolic meanings based on physical characteristics, which in a larger sense has inspired Nawfal to create this project.

The manner in which Johnson and Worthington would approach the concept of, Destructive entitlement, are similar, however, the theories of these counselors would influence the techniques utilized. For instance, Johnson being of a theory of emotionally focused therapy would view the destructive entitlement as an attachment issues that would need to be altered to a secured bond. Johnson will use the basics of EFT in that she would reflect, validate, and evocate responses. By doing these techniques Johnson would be attempting to aid, “The client discovers new elements of his or her experience that have been previously denied, brushed aside, or simply not formulated,” (2004, p. 90).

Johnson protects her participants and the data she collected with them. She seems to have great respect for these women who are willing to share some very personal and disturbing information. She comments about the women being willing to participate in the study by adding: “They had few safe outlets, so I suspect sharing with me had a cathartic effect.” I think the women are criminals; I believe the manner in which they are presented is offensive to me both as a mother and an educator. They are detailing why and how they managed to become engaged in sex with a child. Regardless of how willing the children may have been to have sex with these women, they are children. They deserved to have been sheltered from the women who I view as sexual predators.

McNulty reveals that he has noticed that D'Angelo's uncle Avon Barksdale and Stringer have been tied to many murders and tells Phelan that he believes they control West Baltimore's drug trade; McNulty complains that nobody is investigating their organization. Because no one is “investigating their organization” that neighborhood is ruled by superior gangs. Although the sovereignty ‘the judge” wanted to get in the detective way of enforcing the laws in a neighborhood that needs help, because police have power and ability to do, the focus was move into that neighborhood as they’re enforcing the laws there now. This is a great example of how vital police officers are to our communities and without them like Reiner mentioned “chaos would
