How has the outlook of the police changed over the last five years? Well there has been very many controversial cases where citizens have ended up dead. Are these officers really cold blooded killers? Or are the citizens the ones at fault here?

In 1995, O.J. Simpson, one of the most acclaimed National Football League players, was tried on two counts of murder. This is a case that would stay inclusive forever in the eyes of most Americans; and that would change the way America’s legal system operated. During the trial racism evolved around Simpson and multiple inferences led to an especially controversial definitive, later known as the “trial of the century.”

The case started in 1970 when Jane Roe which is a fake name her real name is Norma McCorvey appointed federal action against Henry Wade, the district attorney of Dallas county, Texas, where Roe resided. The court did not agree with Roe’s contention of an absolute right to abolish pregnancy in any way and at any time and attempted to balance a woman’s right of privacy with a state’s interest in regulating abortion. Writing for the majority, Harry blackmun noted that only a “compelling state interest” justifies regulations limiting “fundamental rights” such as privacy and that legislators must therefore draw statutes just barely “to express only the legitimate state interests at stake.” The court then attempted to balance the state’s distinct

From time to time, the lynching of the blacks has never been cleared. Below is the case that clearly shows the insufficient reason why this young teenager was killed. An article “Timeline: Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo.”, from the “USA Today” news describes the death of Michael Brown, an eighteen year old teenager who was shot by a police officer. Brown was shot after the robbery case had happened in a convenience store.

Anderson’s retelling of the Emmett Till case shows a hostile world before the case even takes place; the author takes a new perspective, rather than focusing on the case and its aftermath, its main focus laid on understanding the world that Till and most African Americans were forced to live in during this time period.

Timothy McVeigh blew up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1995 killing 168 people and injuring hundreds more in the blast. He was convicted and sentenced to death in the U.S. District Court in Denver, Colorado.

Robert E. Keeshan, the attorney of the family said that there

In every small town there is a police district we depend on. We depend on them to protect us , and serve in the most positive way for the people. The importance of this topic in my eyes is that the Police get-away with things that they shouldn’t. What inspired me the most is the Trayvon Martin case, and the Eric Garner case that really opened my eyes to see that the black community is so broken and we as a unit cannot seem to fix it.

Intense apprehension and excitement mingled energetically throughout my body as Taylor and I approached the Government Plaza in downtown Greensboro. We were attending a protest against the Grand Jury’s decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson with the murder of eighteen-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Questions and worry sounded in my mind. What is this going to be like? What if things get out of hand? What if I’m arrested? I looked over to Taylor on my right side. She gave me a small smile as if she knew what a wreck I was in my head. I gave a hesitant smile in return. Everything is going to be fine, I thought to myself.

JonBenet Ramsey was an interesting case, she was a child beauty queen that was murdered in her house late at night in Colorado in 1996. Her father, John Ramsey, later found her body in the basement along with a ridiculously long ransom note 8 hours after she was reported to be missing. Her autopsy revealed that she was strangled and got hit in the head, which was estimated as her cause of death. Back to the ransom note, it was sitting on the kitchen table in the Ramsey house and demanded a whopping $118,000. The note was very detailed and the ransom itself demanded for $118,000, the exact amount of money that John Ramsey received as a bonus that year, raising even more suspicions about the Ramseys. Suspicions that the parents and brother

On July 10,2015 Sandra Bland, a 28 year old African-American woman driving a silver Hyundai Azera, was pulled over by Texas Trooper Brian Encinia in Prairie View for failing to signal a lane change. Most of the footage was captured by Encinia’s dash cam.

According to Linder (2006) Timothy McVeigh began planning his attack September 1994. He and co-conspirators rented a storage building on September 22, 1994 and began buying the supplies needed to make the bomb. In October he went to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building to inspect the building and decided where he wanted to park the explosive filled truck. McVeigh practiced with explosives to make sure the combinations were correct. By March of 1995 both of his co-conspirators had backed out, but did not report McVeigh’s plan to authorities (Linder, 2006). The bombing was planned to take place on the 2 year anniversary of a stand off between right wing extremist and the federal law enforcement authorities in Waco, TX on April 19, 1993 (Linder,

Jesse was just starting his slow-moving life. But he was getting tired of sitting around, so her was trying different ways to make money. Jesse tried to buy and train race horses but none of them were making the money that he thought they would make. He also tried to raise cattle to sell but that lead him to meet two men, Robert and Charley Ford. Jesse wanted to try for one more big robbery and he wanted to do it with the two new men he met. But Jesse did not know that these men had talked to the Missouri governor, Thomas Crittenden, about a reward for the bounty on Jesse James (Biography.com Editors). If the Ford brothers killed Jesse they would be acquitted of their crime and they would receive the reward. On April 3rd, 1882, Jesse

They killed the men because they thought lynching would bring swifter judgement. Indeed, this contemptuous justice often led whole crowds of spectators to watch lynchings. In the case of Jesse Washington, 15,000 watched as Washington was burned, shot, tortured, and hung. In reality, Washington had been mentally impaired, and was wrongly convicted of assault, but the lynchers thought they were carrying out justice. Furthermore, parents brought kids to lynchings. Parents wanted to teach the same “just” message to their kids, thus indicating that the parents wanted to change society. In the case of Rubin Stacy, children watched as Stacy was murdered, and in the pictures of the hanging, the children and their parents looked intently at the
