Law and Order Injustice

Illegal immigration to the U.S. is out of control. Almost 20% of the world’s international migrants flock to a nation that consists of less than 5% of the world’s population. This is a huge threat to our security. Some people believe the threat is miniscule, because illegal immigrants commit crime at the same or a lower rate than native-born Americans, and it is unfair to deny a large group of people citizenship because of the crimes of a few. Law

In The Republic, the great philosopher Plato attempts to reveal through the character and dialogues of Socrates that justice is better when it is the good for which men must strive for, regardless of whether they could be unjust and still be rewarded. His method is to use dialectic, the asking and answering of questions. This method leads the audience from one point to another, supposedly with indisputable logic by obtaining agreement to each point before going on to the next, therefore, building an argument.

The brutality of the police force has been a long worldwide problem, but especially between the years of 2012-2016. Black people are being unjustly beaten and shot in plain sight for doing nothing while being unarmed. Journal of African American Studies “Blacks are viewed as deserving of harsh treatment in the criminal justice system” (482). “Black males with more “Afrocentric” features may receive longer sentences than blacks with less Afrocentric features like lighter skin and straighter hair”(482). Nowadays it is important to know about the police force. It’s important to know our rights as citizens and be careful around cops. Not everybody is good, but not everybody is bad also. In The New York Amsterdam News 21 people were killed by Chicago police in 2008. Entire families were being attacked. They believe it’s because of their skin color and how they are different. The year of racism started off with the world seeing the police murder of Oscar Grant. “The media have pushed people away from hearing the issue of police brutality, and it has fallen off of the radar screen.”(2) “You can’t give in. They will try to make an example out of you, try to break your spirit!”(2) African Americans say do not trust the cops with anything. “They will ruin you.”(2)

Although the issue with illegal immigration is prominent, the solution is not as clear. Some say the annual quota of 20,000 Mexicans should be raised (Anderson 65). This does not help the fact that there is a 5-9 year wait for over 1 million immigrants to enter the country legally (Anderson 57). "Most illegals are of working age and looking for jobs" (Anderson 57). They don't want to wait years to get a job. Otherwise, there would not be near as many people crossing the border every year. Some people call for a border fence in order to lower the number of illegals (Marcovitz 27). In 2006, Congress began a $2.5 billion project to fence nearly 700 miles of the Mexican border (Marcovitz 27). Many are still pushing for the entire border to be fenced off (Marcovitz 27). Currently, only about one third of the border has been fenced, and over 1,000 miles still remain open (Marcovitz 28). The fence is patrolled by border officers. In 1992 there were about 3,500 border patrol officers. In 2010 that number had grown to over 20,000 (Marcovitz

On 11/28/2017, I, Officer Marisa Rhodeman #165 was working as a Police Officer in FTO Training along with WSU Officer Dillon Dickerson #155, for the Wichita State University Police Department (WSUPD), Wichita, Sedgwick County Kansas.

African Americans in America have consistently been racially profiled by the police. More blacks in the us are imprisoned than whites. A black person is more likely to get arrested and convicted than a white person. A police officer will almost certainly shoot a black person unarmed than a white person. Black stereotypes such as a crack victim or a drug dealer easily lets the cop know to arrest a black person

Although African Americans may make up 13% of the U.S. population and 14% of monthly drug users, they are 37% of the people arrested for drug offenses. The chances of a policeman stopping blacks are higher than the chances of them stopping whites. It is proven that the police force will ignore the situation of a white person committing a major crime. Compare any case of a black person involved with drugs to the case of Dylann Roof, a white twenty-one year old that opened fire and killed nine black people, and nothing makes sense. Witnesses say he proclaimed his hate for black people right before he began shooting. When he was arrested, the police were very polite to him and never treated him

Police brutality against the black youth in America is not uncommon news to us, it dates as far back as 1999 when four police officers shot forty-one bullets at and killed Amadou Diallo, a Guinean immigrant, in the Bronx, NYC. The officers later claimed to have seen Diallo reaching for something that looked like a weapon but actually all he had in his hand was his wallet. However, all four policemen were acquitted if all charges in the case, in fact, one of the killer cops, Kenneth Boss, stayed on the force and was allowed to carry a gun again in 2012.

African Americans are being unfairly targeted by the police force and other intolerant individuals. There are numerous cases in which African Americans are perhaps intentionally being targeted by the police due to their race. The case of Michael Brown is a perfect example of police misconduct. Officer Darren Wilson saw Brown near a liquor store and felt that he fit the description of another suspect. Brown was frightened by the initial gunshots fired by Officer Wilson when he confronted him, so he began to run away. He eventually stopped to face the policeman and was then shot a few more times and found dead at the scene.

Police ruthlessness against african americans have been among us for a considerable length of time . from slave days until the 20 century . Every last one of those passings of these youthful african americans have brought about a great deal of hurt and agony to a considerable measure of families. The most well-known killings in the unified states have been activated upon african americans. The vast majority of these killings are cause due to " generalization" while somebody will look upon an african american and consequently think " It 's a dark man, they might be perilous, destructive ,or even horrendous" . There are a large number of situations where police have not been charged for unlawful murdering .cops additionally have their own particular mystery codes that helps them in each circumstance that they may wind up in, either on the off chance that they are pure or not . Families need to live with the way that no equity will be given to them,because sadly the law dependably wins .

We read about it almost every week in social medias. New victims of the police shootings are displayed and sympathized with. What many do not realize is that most of this injustice remains unheard, usually not through police brutality but through convictions. Much more African Americans are convicted than white people, and get worse punishments for the same crime.

Police officer have recently been criticize for shooting African American and using excessive force on them. Groups like Black lives matter and other organizations have crated organization against police officer, those organization have ask for justice for those people that have been killed by police officers. One of the biggest stories in resent time is Samuel Debose a young African American that was shot and kill by Officer Rey Tensing in Cincinnati. Mr. Debose died instantly and Officer is being charged with murder.

Even in laws there’s are bias towards people of color, such as example against the usage of drugs. African Americans are more likely to be arrested for drug charges than their counter part middle-class White males’, even if the drug charges offends are the same (or some cases even higher offense than black males). In addition, there even police forces that have engaged in higher usage of drugs, such as crack, yet they are not charged against the law due to their status and authority as a police officer. That is enough evidence that there are hardly any accountability in the police forces. When there are not much accountabilities and consequences, this allows a police officer to abuse their power and potentially act among injustice actions towards

The number of illegal immigrants have gone up over the past years drastically "In 2011, there were 40 million immigrants in the U.S. Of that 11.1 million were illegal." Although the number of illegal immigrants has leveled off it still is a continuing problem that should be attended to. In the next few years the number of illegal immigrants will continue to increase. "United Nations reported that 97% of the illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. Clandestinely across the nearly 2,000 mile Mexico border, but only 20% of those are caught." This proves that our border is our weakest link of our security system . This proves that immigrants are crossing the border into the U.S. And getting away with it. To prevent this something needs to be done and improve and strengthen the the Mexico border soon. With more and more illegal immigrants entering the country, the number of immigrants will continue to climb and crime rates will rise also. If something is not done soon it will eventually become to big of a problem to handle. studies show that the population of illegal immigrants is increasing and it is becoming a bigger problem every year and needs to be attended to to make the

Illegal immigration is a big problem in the United States of America, and it is beginning to grow into a larger one. In 2014, there were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants in America (“5 Facts about Illegal Immigration in the U.S.”), compared to the population of 318.9 million people in the entire country (Dinan). These immigrants currently take up only 3.5 percent of the nation’s population. The rate of illegal immigration is only rising, according to the Pew Research Center (“5 Facts about Illegal Immigration in the U.S”). The main cause of this is immigrants secretly entering over the border, without getting caught by agents (“5 Facts about Illegal Immigration in the U.S.”). This is because
