On 12-05-17 at approximately 1017 hours, I responded to 442 N. Los Robles Avenue regarding a psychological evaluation. PPD Dispatch advised that a female, White was yelling incoherently at the above location. Officer Gawlik #3116, Officer Herrera #3595 and Officer Killgore #7231 were on scene prior to my arrival.

Suders then resigned from the force and sued the Pennsylvania State Police in Federal District Court, alleging, that she had been subjected to sexual harassment and constructively discharged, in violation of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The District Court granted the PSP's motion for summary judgment and held that the PSP was not liable for the supervisors conduct. Suders hostile work environment claim was untenable as a matter of law because she unreasonably failed to benefit herself of the PSP's internal anti-harassment procedures.

Upon arrival, I met with LBP Security agent Polk and the alleged offender (Schwartz, Elise L. DOB 06/18/92). Polk related on 09/10/15, Schwartz was terminated from her job, at which time she punched a co-worker in the face with a closed fist. Polk further related Schwartz was only talking with Moore and once Schwartz struck Moore she broke up he fight. Polk related there is video of the incident, which is available through the Human Resource Department.

However, in this case, Saundra Davis wasn’t the only conflict of interest Vance had issues with; Vance had a second altercation with another co-worker named Connie McVicker. For her part, McVicker called Vance a “porch money” and used the term “nigger” to refer to both her and other African-American students. Vance was informed co-worker McVicker family has connections to the Ku Klux Klan. Vance was frightened, she claimed both co-workers used racial slur towards her in the workplace. When Vance reported the harassment to the University’s Compliance Office, Kimes investigated the complaints. During the process, Kimes was very rude and a little prejudice; he refused to shake Vance’s hand. After the investigation was completed Davis walked away freely, Kimes exhorted both Davis and Vance to “respect” each other in the workplace. Co-workers witnessed Davis daughter accosted Vance on campus, making racist threaten statements. The co-workers who witnessed the complaints should have come forward, but instead, they keep quite. Vance complained to the EEOC and filed harassment charges proclaimed Davis violated her civil rights and denied her breaks, in response to the investigations no sign of

“...while few indulge themselves in outright evil and fewer still in righteousness, people are evidently influenced by authority, by apathy, by thoughtlessness, and by their environment (Geuras & Garofalo, 2011, p. 112).The immediate supervisors at every post Griffith was assigned or escaped to participated in the retribution by instigating and allowing the personal slurs, destruction of property, the withholding or denial of benefits, and the refusal of other officers to work with Griffith diminishing his ability to do his job. The very division Griffith went to in the first place, internal affairs, was unable or unwilling to step in and hold anybody accountable for this behavior which created a hostile working environment and promoted a universal unethical culture.

A lawsuit was filed on March 21, 2016 by Fresno Police Sergeant Cervantes who is suing Fresno Police Department and three other detectives. He states workplace harassment and discrimination due to his Hispanic ethnicity. Further details state, “Sgt. Paul Cervantes accuses Sgt. Tim Tietjen and Detectives Brad Alcorn and Cary Phelps of smearing his reputation with false accusations and spreading rumors that he’s a dirty cop. Tietjen, Alcorn and Phelps are white.”(Lopez, para.2) Such accusations can lead to further tensions, costly legal battles, and government investigations. Sergeant Cervantes seeks unspecified damages, attorney fees for discrimination, retaliation, defamation and malicious prosecution. He also states he has been subjected to such discrimination and harassment since January 2008 to the present. Furthermore, it is not the first time Fresno Police Department has been sued for similar incidences. There is an ongoing problem in the department that needs to be resolve.

In Jayson Williams by rick riley, the author opined that Williams’s court ruling was unjust and so was Gus Christofis’s death. Riley believes that Gus’s death was morally wrong. He describes Gus as “well-liked” and a “changed man”. 10 years before Gus’s death he had recovered from heroin and alcohol addiction. This author also writes how other heroin addicts who were with Gus relied on him to help during times of need. Many people who came to the poor limousine driver’s funeral mentioned how Gus had saved lives for example in Riley’s article he quotes from Anthony Christofis, Gus’s nephew, “I can’t even tell you how many people came up to me and said ‘your uncle saved my life.’” Riley also believes that the court ruling for Williams was unjust

WAYNE COUNTY and Wayne County Sheriff's Department, Defendants–Appellants, Sergeant Kenneth Darwish, Corporal Nettie Jackson, Sheriff Warren C. Evans, and Deputy Reginald Johnson, Defendants. Docket No. 139505. -- July 29, 2011 http://caselaw.findlaw.com/mi-supreme-court/1576111.html This case started when the plaintiff Tara K. Hamed was arrested for child support in Michigan and was approached by defendant Reginald Johnson to give him sexual favors so she could have more priveledges jail. The plaintiff refused and then Mr. Johnson to her to an area where there were no surveillance cameras and sexually assaulted her. The plaintiff filed a case and Mr. Johnson was terminated. It was determined that the defendant created a hostile environment for Ms. Hamed. As the case went on the court found no evidence of her claims and dismissed her case. The plaintiff had to make an appeal because Mr. Johnson used his authority to perpetrate the harassment. The court ruled that Wayne county was not liable because Mr. Johnson acted on his own criminal behavior. They applied the Brown vs. Brown principle where the employer is not vicariously liable for the assault because the act was unforeseeable. And the fact that the defendant had no prior criminal background. They explained: [An employer] cannot reasonably anticipate that an employee's lewd, tasteless comments are an inevitable prelude to rape if those comments did not clearly and unmistakably

I also wrote my discussion on the Garcia vs Hartford Police Department. I think the majority of folks would agree with the punishment Sergeant Garcia received. In fact, I would not be surprised that some would feel like he was fortunate not to have faced criminal charges. I believe it’s possible Garcia became so frustrated with how the chain of command was proceeding that he let his emotions get the better of himself and broke the code of conduct. One thing I’ve learned from the military is that team players excel while those who resist the higher-ups are often doomed to fail. Being part of a police department is very similar and it only requires one individual not onboard with the team to cause moral issues. When moral breaks down and

When I first heard about Sandra Bland’s story, my heart broke immediately. No, I did not know her personally but I had the thought that, that could have been me. On July 13, 2015 social media, the news and the internet were booming with information about the death of Sandra Bland. Sandra Bland was arrested on July 10, 2015 for a minor traffic violation in Hempstead, Texas while she was on the way to accept her new job at Prairie View A&M. Three days later Bland was found hanged in her jail cell in Waller County, Texas. The county coroner classified her death as a suicide, although many believe that she was murdered by one of the officers. Until this day we still question, “What really happened to Sandra Bland?” This incident has affected not only me but others as well.

“Injustice can never be stood for.” American actress Amber Heard is stating that injustice is intolerable and instead of waiting for things to get better, you should work towards trying to create an equal society if you want to live a better life. Unfortunately, America’s past has been full of injustice, especially during the Civil War. In the novel Jubilee written by Margaret Walker, injustice is incorporated throughout the book in many ways such as Vyry getting whipped, Randall Ware getting beaten by the Ku Klux Klan, and Jim being beaten by Innis Brown. Vyry, the main character of Jubilee who grew up a slave, is the character who is affected the most by injustice.

An African-American couple also sued, alleging that Chief Smith had turned them away when they reported that a white man had assaulted

After the pageant on Halloween night, Mr. Bob Ewell was found lying on the ground with a kitchen knife under his ribs. Mr. Atticus Finch, the attorney that defended Tom Robinson, was residing at his house while his two children, Jem and Scout, attended the “Ad Astra Per Aspera” at their local high school. After the conclusion of the pageant, Jem and Scout began the short walk to their house. Scout remembers saying to her older brother Jem, “I forgot my shoes, they’re back behind the stage.” Eager to get home, the shoeless Scout never took off her ham costume.
