Abstract This paper aims to analyze the Ontario Provincial Court trial of Umar Zameer and how news coverage, current societal problems, and ethical regulations may have altered the results of the court case. On July 2nd, 2021, thirty-one-year-old Umar Zameer was leaving Nathan Phillip Square near midnight, with his wife and young child after celebrating Canada Day festivities. During the same time, undercover Toronto Police constable Jeffery Northup and his crew were investigating a stabbing, unrelated to Umar Zameer. When the officers started knocking on the car windows to ask for statements, Zameer tried to flee the scene by reversing, was blocked by an undercover police van, and struck and killed Officer Northup when trying to get out of the garage.
Another incident that occurred that involved the police shooting an innocent child when one officer, followed by others started pursuing Chris Few’s. Inside of the car was Chris Few and his 6 year old son, Jeremy Mardis. The police officers that followed the main police officer leading that chase, to this day, are still unsure as to why they were pursuing Chris Few. One even stated that he did not pull his firearm out because he did not feel threatened by Few. It even shows in police surveillance videos that the suspect was unarmed with his hands raised in the air, showing that he did not have a firearm.
“Frequent exposure to media reports of police abuse or corruption is a strong predictor of perceptions of misconduct and supports the belief that is common.” (France-Respers 1). But unfortunately, it also brings me disheartened feelings. Recently, I was on twitter and I stumbled across a video of a young white male who was roughly about twenty to twenty-five years of age who was being handled so aggressively by about six officers while he was NOT resisting.
Sandy Banks is bothered by the injustice of police officers towards possible innocent victims. Because it seems like if officers rely on shooting at people as their safest option, Banks demands better training to help solve this issue. Police officers being caught on camera doesn 't changes the fact that the victim will become wounded, or pass away, yet, in most cases officers are not held accountable for the insensible act. In her article, "Horrific videos aren 't solving police shootings, but better training might" Banks asks for better training for police officers, as she developed strong pathos with details, great logos with logical solutions and consequences, but a weak ethos by not mentioning her credentials and the other side of the story.
The worst punishments these officers receive vary from a demotion to discharge from the force. Zimmerman, a community watch member who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, was never treated as a criminal and although he was charged with murder he was eventually acquitted of all charges. Zimmerman was more recently accused of drunkenly boasting about his crime to strangers in a bar while using racial slurs when referring to Martin. Zimmerman’s privilege as a member of the justice system lead to an unfair sentence that caused Martin’s death to go unavenged. Another more complicated example of police privilege is police assisted suicide.
Tamir Rice was a twelve-year-old boy playing in the snow at his local park, making the mistake of waving an air pellet gun at strangers- a mistake that would cost him his life. A bystander made a call to 911, and when the police arrived on the scene, within seconds of exiting the vehicle, Rice was shot. According to an article by the Pittsburgh Tribune, although police have been caught in the act, captured on camera committing a crime, they are not prosecuted 96 percent of the time. November 22, 2014, twelve-year-old, Tamir Rice, was playing and posing with his air pellet gun when a man sitting in the park called 911 to report, “there’s a guy here with a pistol, pointing it at everybody… [The gun] is probably a fake, but you know what,
Cruelty is a recurrent theme in literature that often acts as a critical factor in a novel’s development. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, the occurrence of cruelty is seen to be gradually increasing as the story goes on from accusations of witchcraft that lead into chaos and death. Through Miller’s depiction of the merciless accusations and murders of innocent people, cruelty reveals a high extent of people’s animosity and vengeance that is greatly influenced by the attitude of the surrounding atmosphere. The accusations first began when the girls who were caught “dancing” in the forest were under pressure to confess what they were truly doing.

It was a snowy winter day in Toronto, Ontario. On Sunday, January 12th 2014 I was on duty working for the Toronto Police Service. At 1900 hours I was on Yonge Street where I saw my fellow co-worker sitting up against a wall with a stab wound on his leg, luckily a paramedic was already assisting my fellow officer. I then saw a man covered in blood and carrying a knife, running away. I had reasonable and probable grounds to believe that the guy running away was the offender, which led me to run after him while identifying myself as a police officer.
The last few years have been filled with many major news stories, ranging from terrorist attacks to mass shootings across the country. However, one of the most concerning and reoccurring themes of the past few years has been police misconduct. All across the country there have been incidents of police brutality, and sadly a lot of these incidents have led to the death of those involved. One of the most infamous cases of police brutality is the incident involving Eric Garner. Eric Garner, a forty-three-year-old African American male, was choked to death by the police in Staten Island, New York on July 17, 2014.
Furthermore, citizens fear crimes being committed along with the officers that battled the crimes. While the media’s outtake may sometimes be truthful, the situation is worsened on
Don’t drink the kool-aid. A common quote for don't follow blindly has a little darker meaning than most know. It comes from a tragic event where more than 900 people died a third of them being children. On November 18th 1978, in Jonestown Guyana there was a mass suicide of more than 900 cult members. This event was orchestrated by Jim Jones who through the trust he was given he led them astray.
