Due to race, not standing for the National Anthem, increased amount of police weapons and inequality, police brutality has become a huge problem nationwide. Police brutality has always subsisted but within the last 10 years it has been increasing drastically. We need to take a stand against and end the police brutality. According to the document To Serve and Protect, “To serve and protect: we see the slogan emblazoned on the sides of police cars and recruit officers hear it from their instructors at the academy. It is also a mandate of the church, Jesus reads from the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue in Nazareth and proclaims his mission is to serve and protect the vulnerable, the oppressed (Luke 4:16-21).” I myself want to be a police officer and I think because of all the police brutality incidents police have started to get an atrocious reputation. What society believes is that all police officers feel they are “above” the law, that is not true. Most police officers disagree with the excessive force some use. It is not rightful. This is just adding another problem with how American is going down in a negative way. Police officers are supposed to protect us, prevent crime, and enforce the law. They are only allowed to use excessive force when there is a necessary reason. A necessary reason would be if the officer has a probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious injury. Many cases have been uprising on police brutality and race.
In current days and even days in the past, we have dealt with the issue of police brutality. Is it reasonable that police can utilize savage power to secure and serve the general population of our nation? In this Personal Perspective Project, I will analyze four different articles to answer this question. The term #BlackLivesMatter is the people of color saying that they are tired of police brutality against colored men. Interracial couples in Baltimore fear for their biracial children because they are half African-American. And officers killing men of color who didn’t do harm and didn't get charged because they were “saving the community”.
When you were a child, you most likely have read the story “The boy who cried wolf”. What this story taught you was that it isn’t a joke to go run and tell people something happened when it didn’t because eventually people will stop listening. So why is it almost every time a police officer takes someone to the ground they cry “police brutality”? Police officers are here to maintain order, protect citizens and safe guard property. They should not have to worry about if a miniscule action they take is a career ending one, but on the opposing side their authority and power should have its limits and limitations. Police Brutality does happen from time to time, but not to the extent
I believed that the common people should be allowed to hold arms and ammunition. I once said, the working class must be armed and organized. That in any case of attempting to disarm the working class it must be by force. Therefore, I believe that the government should not enforce the working class to disarm themselves of their weapons. Once the bourgeois outlaw all guns, it will be the horizon of a revolution. In which the state will endeavor to control the revolt by outlawing gun possession to oppress the revolt.
In light of recent events, Minneapolis finds itself within heat of national topic, police brutality. Jana Kooren of ACLU of Minnesota writes in The Hard Truth of the Minneapolis Black Lives Matter Protests: Communities of Color Have No Trust in Their Police Force. The authors main point of the article was to articulate the disaster that affects African Americans disproportionately. Jamar Clark is one in a thousand this year who have died in the hands of police who have overexerted their power. He sadly became another member of this deadly year, when two police officers shot him when he allegedly interfered with emergency responders helping an assault victim. She continues to emphasis how this problem is not local at it’s root, but national.
Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and Yvette Smith are only four names out of the hundreds of victims that are affected by police brutality every year. Imagine knowing that your innocent 7 year old child died while sleeping in her own home due to the hands of a policeman during a raid. This is what Charles Jones reality had come to when he had to grieve the loss of his daughter without getting any justice. Currently so far in 2018, 466 people have died in the hands of police. Over the years, the number of deaths due to police brutality have only increased. Surprisingly, this doesn’t come to a shock to many people because police brutality has become more of a common occurrence throughout the years. This needs to come to an end. The police
A great deal of society views law enforcement officers as heroic and honorable individuals, whose main purpose is to protect and serve the community. For many officers, this description is accurate, however for others; violence and brutality against innocent citizens is part of getting the job done. For years, minorities have fallen victim to police brutality based on racial profiling, stereotypes and other
Lately, there has been a lot news on police brutality. All the citizens hear about is the person that is supposedly the victim. Yet, till this day, I still have not heard the side from the police force. Media gets out faster than the facts. Media is no longer based on facts, but based off of opinions of others. We assume because a few police officers are corrupt, that all of them are. Most of them aren’t terrible. Their human just like we are. Some assume the people that are assaulted, because they just feel like it. There has to be a reason why that police officer attacked a certain someone.
My group and I decides to create a sculpture that memorialized the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Alton Sterling, Philando Castille, and Mike Brown, six black men who were unjustly murdered by police officers. Over the years, police brutality has proven to be a major issue yet America tries to hide or defend such incidents. Our sculpture strives to do the exact opposite.
Police Brutality has been a problem since the early 1900’s, the problem majorly struck when Michael Brown was shot in 2014, this caused nationwide protest. “Activists blocked intersections, riot police arrived in armored vehicles and about 200 demonstrators were arrested” (The Washington Post). Organizations have been around to stop police brutality of African Americans, like the Black Panthers in 1966, who wanted freedom of African Americans and to stop all these problems that were occurring. Their goal was to have equal rights. The difference between the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter is they mostly focus on police brutality. Studies show black citizens are more likely to be stopped by officers also white and black deaths in
My essay is broken down into three parts. My essay is not to condone police violence nor to condemn it. My essay simply helps a person transition from the feeling of shock to something more realistic. I content that many people feel a deep level of shock when they hear about or see police brutality. My point is that people should expect it, even though it is wrong, and that people shouldn’t be shocked by it. My essay is broken into three parts, and will help you transition from a feeling of shock to a more realistic view of the world. I shall prove that police brutality is not shocking for a person with a realistic worldview.
Recently in the media there has been an uproar about the treatments that citizens receive from the police in addition to how the citizens interact with police. Video footage has shown police brutality that is sometimes questionable, which often dictates on the how the community views them by causing tension. Accusations of Police brutality is nothing new but it isn’t until recently that it is being recorded and it is difficult to correct the actions of someone if there is not enough evidence provided. Recent advancements in technology police
It is truly saddening when the people who are supposed to be serving and protecting us are seriously injuring, maiming, and even killing citizens in our cities, communities, and country.
Management is the process of dealing with or controlling other people. The skill of management is important to be successful in business but such skill is not easy without an abundant amount of experience and knowledge. Alex Sander, the principal character of the case study, shows the characteristics of an ineffective leader. The description of her lifestyle and the remarks of her co-workers provides evidence for the problem. The potential solution to solve Alex Sander’s problems is based on the symptoms shown in the case study.
We, as humans, come into conflict on a daily basis at all times of the day. We encounter conflict on all levels in our home lives, social lives, entertainment and careers. Conflict is also brought to our attention second and third handedly through word of mouth and the mass media and the internet. Personally, locally, nationally, and globally conflict and problems surround us. Instead of addressing personalized conflicts, I would like to attempt to provide critical analysis on a crucial social issue facing the United States. This issue is police brutality, especially against minority, particularly black Americans. I will attempt to do this with the root cause tool of critical analysis and problem solving. The conflict of police brutality has made national and international news. It has also sparked a new social movement. While police brutality is not limited to minorities, the rate that it used against African American individuals is alarming. To further the problem, no perpetrator has been brought to justice and the victims and their families are left behind or blamed. I will be using Root Cause Analysis model of critical analysis. This strategy consists of five steps. They include:
The Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment explicitly protects the right to speak: “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech or of the press”. (Cornell, 1st) This right to speak freely is fundamentally linked to the right to be informed, as indicated by the Supreme Court ruling that individuals are guaranteed the right to acquire information under the Free Speech Clause. (22, Miller v. California; 23, Lamont v. Postmaster General) Therefore, from the free speech [jurisprudence/rulings] of the Supreme Court of the United States, the right to obtain sex education may, in fact, pertain to public schools. [On the one hand], [the free speech right] to acquire sex information extends to the curricular decisions made by public schools. This right requires that public schools consider students interest in receiving sex
