Law Enforcement History: The Young Brothers Massacre

In the 1920s, thousands of suspected radicals in thirty-three cities were arrested and charged with anarchy without evidence. The cause for their imprisonment happened to be an effect from the Palmer Raids. Numerous Americans felt the Palmer Raids were in relation to past disasters such as: the Red Scare, May Day, and the Bolshevik Revolution.

During this standoff, two of the Indian activists were shot and killed diminishing the enthusiasm and determination of those who knew them. Additionally, food supplies were extremely low and then federal agents forbade the news media from entering the scene so that AIM’s message was no longer reaching the public, and after 71 days the elders of Pine Ridge, who had originally asked AIM to come, called an end to the occupation despite AIM’s objections. The Indians relinquished their position and many slipped away during the night to avoid arrest, others agreed to surrender their arms and submit to arrest. In the months following more than 500 arrests and 185 indictments were brought against AIM members, most of the charges were dismissed. But the federal government was not alone in going after the protestors of Wounded Knee, Dick Wilson had his own methods of retribution.

On March tenth of 1992, Alfonso Lopez, Jr., an eighteen year-old high school senior, walked onto the Edison High School campus of San Antonio. To many it seemed like an ordinary day. Almost everything appeared normal; however, Alfonso Lopez, Jr. was carrying an unloaded .38 caliber revolver and five cartridges of bullets in his pockets and backpack. An anonymous agent tipped off the school authorities that Alfonso Lopez may have been in the possession of a weapon, and would be transporting it that

Conflict is always present in any point in history. An inevitable trait of human nature that we as a society must accept, as this kind of negative behavior will always be present and can never be prevented. The idea of conflict and compromise involves having a set problem and a resolution of some sort to resolve said conflict. With two conflicting parties involved, both must see to an agreement of some sort that satisfies both sides. Although, that’s not to say resolutions have been in place before, most conflicts can and have led to a compromise through a treaty of agreement leading to the benefit of both parties. In 1861, The Fort Laramie Treaty had given ownership North of the Arkansas River to the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes of the region in order for Euro-American miners to storm the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in search of gold, forcing the natives to leave (History.com Staff, 2018).

Tom Ryan’s police abuse story is not as sudden and physically painful as Hobbs’ story, but it deserves just as much attention to prevent it from happening, since both Hobbs and Ryan fear that they are in danger for no particular reason. Ryan describes the town of Newburyport, his hometown, as a city, whose natives are always trying to struggle over the power of politics (Ryan 22). In his memoir Following Atticus, Ryan states, “I would often sit shocked as city councilors or other community leaders lied in some televised meeting and thought nothing of it. When I’d report it, they’d act as though I were the one who had crossed the line – and in some ways they were right, I had. I refused to let business happen as it always had happened”

According to Ortiz, “Nuevo Laredo Massacre 1 on April 17, 2012, El Chapo’s forces aided by the Gulf Cartel moved into the border city and Zeta strongholds of Nuevo Laredo in an attempt to take control of the border area and left the dismembered bodies of 14 men inside trash bags that had been left inside a minivan outside of Nuevo Laredo City Hall along with a narco-banner signed by El Chapo and addressed to Los Zetas.”

. At Jonestown they practiced what was called “White Knights”, these practices were just pretexts to the final massacre. White Knights included Jim preaching to the people falsities about mass genocide of African Americans in the U.S. and spies coming to murder them for their ways. His followers would then drink, or be forced to drink Cyanide laced Kool-Aid. What they didn’t know is that in these “White Knights” the Kool-Aid was untreated. This would cause them to always wonder why they were still alive after drinking it.

The Sharpeville Massacre took place in a south african police station of Sharpeville. On March 21, 1960. During this event 5,000 to 7,000 protesters went to the police station after a day of demonstrations, offering themselves for arrest for not carrying passbooks. The mood of the protest had started out as peaceful and festive when there were only few people present but as the day went on about 20,00 came and the mood had turned “ugly”. There were casualties which was 69 people dead and 180 injured. This was caused by a chain reaction of gun

Christopher Harper-Mercer was withdrawn and quiet as he grew up in southern California, spending most of his time indoors at his mother’s apartment and deflecting neighbors when they asked him how he was doing, or why he always wore the same outfit of combat boots and green Army pants. But there was one subject that got him to open up: guns.

For my submission in this assignment I have chosen to write about “The Colfax Massacre of 1873” which was mentioned in chapter 15, on page 578. The Colfax Massacre was one, if not the most violent incident of the reconstruction era. On April 13, 1873 about 150 black and 3 white men died in a bloody conflict over the ownership of the Colfax courthouse.

States in 1929 feb 14 two auto loads of gangsters shortly before lined 8 guys along a way and they shot six of them to death. The other two were wounded perhaps fatally. These gangsters were armed with every fiendish device of gang warfare. The gangsters brushed through heavy oak doors and created a inferno of machine gun, shotgun and a revolver fire. When the firefight stopped they then fled to there cars that they parked near by. The gangsters brook into a police station most of the gangster left but the ones that didn’t they were killed. Their bodies were surrounded by machine guns, sawed off shotguns, revolvers, and dynamite bombs which had not exploded. When the firefight started people in other neighborhoods thought that a bomb went off.

The six youngest victims were only seventeen years old while the oldest to die that day was forty-one and five months later a fifty-nine-year-old died. Years later a government inquiry called the “Saville Report” would declare that all but one was unarmed and that all had been shot regardless of not presenting a threat.
