Racial Profiling By Police

There, I stood behind an unoccuppied silver vehicle and a wooden fence which was connected to the chainlink fence which wrapped around the east parking lot. I did not have a good visual of the door and windows which were believed to be the apartment the suspect was located in, and in that position there was not a better spot with concealment or cover with a good visual on the door. I stayed in my position until 1800 hours, after the suspect was taken into custody. We then left the scene at that time and I removed my vehicle from blocking off the driveway to the parking

Police assert themselves, assumingly as helpful, caring, and always doing what is right for the great or good of mankind, but this image highlights police officers often behave otherwise. For example, a police officer forcefully threw and held a 15 year old boy, with

On October 26, 2017 at approximately 2:54pm, I, Officer Kyeishia Evans, with the Ville Platte Police Department, was dispatched to the Slap Ya Momma parking lot, in reference to juveniles fighting on Bus # VP14. Upon arrival I was advised by Chief Neal Lartigue, with the Ville Platte Police Department, that there were two black juvenile males fighting on his bus and that he had paramedics with Acadian Ambulance enroute to our location to give juvenile # 2 medical attention. I advised juvenile #1 to step off the bus; which he complied. I conducted a pat search on the juvenile for weapons, placed handcuffs on his wrists, and put him in the back seat of my marked Ville Platte Police Department vehicle. Paramedics with Acadian Ambulance arrived

Follow all instructions rather than arguing. Inform the police officer that legal counsel will be retained, if necessary, in the event the officer appears to be overstepping his or her bounds.

I have had many encounters with the police here in Texas, and around the country. I have experienced encounters with police in other countries as well. Some positive, and some negative. Even in situations where I thought I was right, every encounter ended with a positive outcome because I took control of the situation. I disarmed the officer with the utmost respect, therefore by putting the officer at ease. From the initial contact, I showed I was no threat. I’ve worked in corrections for over 7 years in another state, and I know the level of commitment officers have with one another. My point here is that I have experienced this issue from both sides of the blue line. I have encountered law enforcement only three times in Texas to date. My

I had the juveniles sit on the sidewalk as I conducted my investigation. The juveniles had not yet been patted down for weapons when Broussard stood up and tried to run away into travel lanes. Being that the call was a person possibly armed with a firearm and I had not yet gathered Broussard information, I felt it necessary to prevent him from fleeing. I was able to grab on to Broussard’s shirt and I pulled him into me to displace his balance. We both

Regardless if the officer felt threatened or not, he lived. He got to see his family. The person he killed can’t. This victim will never see his/her family again, his/her mother lost a child. The hardest thing to do is bury your child before getting buried yourself. With the thought of having to bury their child, the family goes through tough episodes – grief. They mourn the loss of the family member, but also let the grief get the best of them. Some retaliate. Retaliation is payback, and some people feel an eye for an eye, leg for a leg. These broken families try to get justice the best way they know how, because they know that they will not get any from the justice system. There are many ways to cope with a loss through faith, and just being around positive

We are taught as children to respect police officers, as they serve and protect us. However, as an adult, the majority of our population shudders in anxiety every time we see an officer. We fearfully assume the worst every time we see a marked police car or receive a phone call from them. Our national news has been littered with stories of police militarization, beatings, and the violation of our Constitutional rights.

A short time later Officer Parker #52 and Officer Stirrat #50 arrived at my location. After both officers arrived I took the handcuffs off of Duffy. I informed Duffy that I was investigating a person shooting a firearm. Duffy then made the

The officer is in the encounter stage of his training process. He is riding with an FTO learning more about police duty first hand. While the officer is deciding whether to report his FTO or not first things first: is this organization a crime control department or community policing department? If it is community policing situations situation like the one in question should be are handled this way, the officer is more concerned about the community than crime control. This was not a major crime, plus he (FTO worked it out for the betterment of the community .During this phase the Rookie is told to forget everything they learned in the academy (to a certain extent) they will learn the “rope” of “real” police work as they remain on the force.

The officer I rode with talked briefly about the community’s rising hate for police which has also been a headline recently. I am aware that there are bad police officers but I saw justice being served in the correct order during my ride along. The officers have to respond to obscure calls and I witnessed the officers doing their best to serve the people in the right fashion. The officer I rode with used discretion in a moderate and correct fashion as well as taking the individuals to jail who needed to be detained.

The officer in the case misused his authority by committing physical abuse against a handcuffed suspect causing severe and permanent damage. Moral and ethical even though I did not witness the crime occur, I did see my buddies near the police officer's car with admission from them that a crime was committed. My buddies confided in me that they had slashed the officer’s tires. It would be my obligation to report the misdoings and admission of guilt to the captain when pulled in for questioning. We are taught our whole life to stand up to bullies and protect ourselves, don’t bully, be nice and treat others nicely. These morals along with the police Code of Ethics would guide my decision to report the events and help put a stop to the bullying.

Life is unpredictable and an accident can happen anytime. on our way back home from church my dad was driving a black 2012 Toyota Highlander, which is a family car that seven people can ride in it. My younger brother, Taw Nay Gay, and I were sitting on the seat behind the driver seat by the door. My other two younger brothers, Gay Nay Soe and Soe K Maw, sat in the seat behind me, and my mom sat in the front passenger seat. For the first time a nineteen year old girl like me started to believe that I had a reason to live and my life could be taken away anytime. This happened on October first 2017, 7:30 pm when we got into a car accident by the traffic lights intersection. Three cars were damaged, but everyone in the cars were fine.

Looking back on that night there's so much I missed and it could've been a very traumatic night. I could've lost my father, like many young African American kids because of our messed up system. My father has told me ever since I began going out late to hang out that I should never carry anything suspicious or anything that gives the Police cause to hurt or kill me. He tells me “love everyone but do not trust anyone.” I take those words to heart every day. You never know if the policeman that helped you at a public event could end up shooting you when you're walking home late at
