For my shot analysis I chose a shot from the Spike Lee Movie Do the Right Thing. This is the second shot following the climactic riot scene. It features Da’ Mayor and Mother Sister reacting to the hellacious events of the previous night. The block was just devastated by a melee that broke out because the police killed Radio Raheem after he and Sal got in an altercation that was triggered by the volume of Radio Raheem’s boom box. Though at a very superficial level the fight was about the loud stereo, the real significance of the fight had more to do with the culmination of anger and tension between the characters of the film caused by prejudice and ignorance. This paper will analyze

Patrick uses pathos in his speech as a way of persuading. He says “ They tell us, sir that we are weak.” That is a example of pathos because because most americans are competitive and they will want to prove them wrong. Another example would be when he said “I consider it nothing less then a question of freedom or slavery.” When you actually think about it freedom or slavery, anyone in the right mind would pick freedom. He used pathos in his speech and he was very clever while doing so which really played a big part in persuading the audience.

Starting off "The Cop Mind" it is mentioned that even though police brutality is going on, cops are still good people. David Brooks goes into detail about the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases and how they have "unfolded". As a police reporter, Brooks found himself thinking as to why situation's like what took place occurred in the first place. All leading to what he had learned about police officers and the challenges they face on a daily basis. Brooks mentions that police "ride an emotional and biochemical roller coaster". Speaks upon how much they tend to go through to the point where it affects them and there's no hiding it. Due to the situations and things that they endured, it led to them learning

Chris Sacco uses human emotions to draw the reader into the article, by giving real life moments. One story can stick with someone for their whole life, but if they do not let it affected them, then it was just a story. However if they let is hit home, then it has a chance of changing their outlook on thing, such as how they handle guns or look at them. Chris uses multiple occasions to support his argument to show that in just seconds everything can change and he does that though detail. Chris mentions a story from NBC about a specific event when a family was “getting ready to order pizza when he heard a gun go off.” Here Chris is letting the readers mind wonder if someone was seriously injured, and he is pulling you into the

The Article was about a shooting in Kissimmee, Florida that caused the death of two police officers. This all happened in a regular patrol late Friday night where Baxter, one of the police officers that died, had found some drug activity in a small neighborhood. Apparently there were three people included in this activity and one of them is named Miller. Miller was a 45 year old Marine veteran who had mental evaluation. Miller started a gun shot against Baxter as a way to make an escape from the officer. Later that night Sheriffs deputies were able to track down Miller, who was hiding in a bar. They arrested Miller and he was brought to justice. That same night in Jacksonville, Florida in which there was call that explained that there was

Another example of pathos is that the media is reporting that this mass shooting was the deadliest in modern history. As of now, Rouse statement is only a claim and to prove if he had any connection with a terrorist group will require investigators to do major researching into his life. (CBS News)

It showed me how the influence of mass media would sway opinions of the audience from one subject to the other. It wasn’t until there was a heavy push in stating the flaws of the police force was there larger action in solving this case. This generated more attention to work of the police and not so much the missing women.

In his speech, Major uses some pathos. One example of this is towards the beginning of

My thoughts were the same in regards to the video, I couldn't process the concept of being shackled and the scars were evident that something has to change. Even the aftermath of that and then having to be shackled again where the wound was inflicted. I thought the statistics from the book that highlighted the percentage of women that were incarcerated were of color. Now those statistics have changed with women who are white are approaching a 50 percent increase than black women who are decreasing by 30 percent! I found that the racism and ethnicity at the beginning of the book to a vary bold sentence when I started to read the chapter holding that thought captive find that there was a lot of truth in that sentence. This was a rather interesting

Before starting the day with officer Hutton, I was able to ask him a few questions at the police station. One of the questions asked was, “What’s it like being a cop and getting calls that could possibly put your life at risk?” Officer Hutton replied, “Honestly, I don’t even think about it. The city is a dangerous place and

The film “They Live” gives a representation of how people in today's society are blinded by reality. The movie was directed in 1988 and to this day speaks the truth about our society today. Of how we are blinded of the truth/reality and not everyone in this world have bad intentions. In the video when Nada was going around shooting the aliens he resisted to shoot one of the cops because he was not seen as one of the enemies by the glasses of reality; even though he had shot every cop in sight starting in the alley. In today's society many people see cops as savage animals because of the increase in police brutality. But although there are many corrupt law enforcement there are also many humble officers that look out for citizens.

This move is very action packed and gives the viewer multiple instances of an adrenaline rush. It portrays the characters of two rogue cops, which we have discussed in

   Real-life television shows of police officers, such as COPS and LAPD: Life on the Beat, offer viewers an intimate, up-close look at life as seen through the eyes of determined police officers who patrol our streets. Television cameras capture actual footage of police officials working to expose and fight drugs, gangs, prostitution, and murder as well as other criminal injustices. As people watch the episodes, they cheer for the "good guys" and detest the "bad guys", hoping the police will eventually apprehend the criminals. Society wants to see the criminals arrested because people feel powerless and scared in a world overflowing with violence. Consequently, real-life television

This part shows how anxious people are for the police. The Police are way to powerful, just like in the short story. The ironical part is that the police should make people fell safe, but does the opposite.

I’m going to talk about the speech first, and she says Put your hands up, I shake in fear I plead and cried but they don’t really care. Look at me, look at my skin color is this the reason you want to shoot me? Africans, mexicans, hispanics, is race all that you see? Humiliating and torturing families how can you say you are protecting us? I cannot even walk to the shop without my mother putting up a fuss because she’s afraid I may not come back. To see me laying down in blood while you still try to put my hands in cuffs as you yell at my mom “miss go back.” How is shooting someone that’s not resisting arrest is looking out for the safety of others, As we yell “stop I didn’t do anything” yet our bodies end up in bags to our mothers. Look at me, look at us what did we do to deserve such cruelty. Then you wonder why we riot black lives matter because the system is the problem when it’s suppose to be part of the solution, but they settle it with “it was an accident” conclusion when? When will it stop? How could you walk
