In the FD2 essays is where I had to do the most adjustments. Overall, I had a good central and sub claim, but I needed to fix my development, analysis, and organization. For the organization the professor said, “Need to connect concept of protesting to central claim.” I try to apply this feedback by trying to explain how the reaction that police has towards protest of blacks and whites is completely different. I explain how when whites protest the police just waited until the whole protest ease down, but when blacks protest police immediately use force and aggression to stop them. Also, I explained how this encounters are streamed life or recorded and the justice system sees the different treatments that police provide towards different race, but they do not do anything to or punish the officers.

I explain these revisions further in detail in my essays. Another comment that the professor gave me was, “Stick to one topic per paragraph. On page 4 also you begin to talk about media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.), but I don't see the connection to your central claim there.” My purpose for this paragraph was to explain how social media was the tool that brought to light all the injustices that police and the justice system had towards black Americans, but I did not explain it in a way that it would related to my central claim. Since it was so difficult for me to make this paragraph connect to my central claim, I decided to deleted and not talk about media at all in my essay. For this essay the peer reviews were also all positive and compliments towards my essay. I think that I could of gotten some suggestions to fix my essay, because I was not so confident submitting this essay how I was with the first

First, you did an excellent job with your essay. The format was easy to follow. However, I would suggest adding whether or not pathos and ethos are incorporated into the video “Drunk History: Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks” in your first body paragraph. For example, Colvin and Parks being mistreated for not moving for a white passenger on the bus could represent pathos. Furthermore, I agree that logos is portrayed in this video through the organization and facts of the woman’s speech.

Santos talked about a race war and a riot that occurred one day and I related to the videos that we watched on the riots in prison. Seeing the videos in class and then reading as he described what happened really connects the class and the book well. I understand more on why riots occur and there are countless of reasons and I think race does play a huge role in that aspect. Being locked up everyday and being ordered around by guards is not something the inmates like and to see a rival gang in prison everyday, it can get tense. Also, talking about the inmate code we can really see how if you don’t follow it there will be punishment.

US are one of the countries that have a diverse culture and different races such as Europeans, Asians and black Africans American. They have been living together for many years now, and they experienced issues that have a negative impact on the minority of the population. In fact racial profiling is one of the issues that cause the mistreatment of black Africans American by the police and law enforcement. “Arrested Development: The Conservative Case Against Racial Profiling” by James Forman Jr is an article where the author claims that racial profiling is not helping the law enforcement and police because it is discriminate against minority group and it destroys relationship between police and community. First of all, racial profiling discriminate

The student who wrote this essay had good, supporting pieces of evidence and made a strong use of transitions, However, the structure and flow of the essay was edgy and sometimes unclear, where random ideas that should have been mentioned in the thesis or the introduction paragraph, show up randomly in the middle of the essay. There were also a few times where the author wrote in the first person, which weakened the overall goal for the essay. The voice of the essay also was strong, but did not keep consistency. There is more emotion when talking about Roosevelt’s view of men and women then there is when the author talks about those of color. There were phrases such as “Probably Roosevelt is made to think . . .”

I also hope to gain an insight on police protocol and how they are expected to handle certain situations. Do they know that they are supposed to protect and care for everyone, regardless of race? Furthermore, my readers should be interested in my investigation because this is a world-wide issue that needs to end. Overall, my readers will learn why some Caucasian officers feel that it is necessary for them to commit these wrongful acts when arresting African American men and

During the 1950's through the 1960's the civil rights movement was taken place in America. This movement was lead by Martin Luther King Jr. Although, what King did was amazing, I am astonished in how he achieved it. King was able to bring equality to the African American Community through non-violent protests.

In “Etiquette of Police Violence” Rion Alamar Scott talks about some of the things cops first assume to do when approaching someone of color. He then continues to tell his audience about events that have happened numerous times. Even goes into detail about the prosecution of the accused officers and how they went.

Ferguson centralizes her argument on role race plays when boys attempt to break the rooms in a classroom setting. When young white boys cause a distraction, they are often let off the hook because this behavior is natural among males. However, this is not true across all races. When black boys obstruct the classroom peace, they are viewed as adults who are causing a crime. Another strong point that Ferguson creates is the two different views that society has of black boys.

One of the main controversies about the police at this current time is police brutality to minorities and people of color. This has been occurring for many years but it has been specifically now a days brought up back into the view by the public when “brutality” against African Americans occur. Throughout these reasons years it has been put into view but you see more and more everyday. Relating this to history the police force was originally developed back in the day back when the Jim Crow Era was occurring and the police system was enforced by white males where people of color were no where to be seen within the system. What is occurring now is basically a repeat of history from back in the day.

However, research demonstrates that often times men of color are treated harshly which leads to negative perceptions of police officers. Police brutality is a crime that is has been surfacing in the news recently. Some people are just starting to realize that these injustices against the black community really occur, while others are well aware. The recent shootings, different run-ins with officers being filmed while doing such harmful actions against African American men is an example of police brutality and, that reminds us that as a society work needs to be done to improve police and community relations. A black male cannot even walk down the street on a cold night because he might be a suspect from something or he may be of danger to the people around.

One of the greatest challenges law enforcement are facing is providing effective policing for minority communities. Some factors that prevent minorities from gaining access to justice or being taken advantage of certain criminal justice services are language barriers, racial stereotyping, and cultural differences. Since the 30 's and 40 's, and even during the 60 's, civil rights activists damaged the police-minority relations in the United States, believing that police only interest are protecting white communities. A big explanation of why there 's a poor police-minority relations in the United States is racism on the part of the individual officers. Many minorities in the United States have continued to complain about being treated more harshly than whites and the Department of Justice believes that racial profiling and police discrimination will continue to be a big problem.

I want to make an argument that racially-motivated police brutality is unfair. Police brutality is a use of unjustified force that can cause serious injury or even death. When it comes to situations where an unarmed black man was killed by a police officer, it hits the news fast and people pay more attention. The racism that comes from police is a sign of oppression to specific groups. This needs to come to attention because instead of reacting with public riots, we as a society need to be more proactive about changing the racism of police brutality.

However as Ken Jensen said, “Students need to understand the context of the huge race riots of the early part of this century [being 1900’s].” This relating to what he later gave, “Between the years 1882 and 1951, 4,730 people were lynched in the United States: 3,437 African-Americans and 1,293 white Americans.” These facts surprise most, as it has been the stereotype that whites were the only racists and blacks the only oppressed, and it is true in some cases, as black were subject to slavery and oppression very openly, but what most people don’t realize is that oppression wasn’t only one-sided, and it’s our modern ignorance that has lead us to believe

I would address the issue of professionalism that the police department lacks. The media’s agenda loves playing with topics such as police brutality, racism, and other symptoms like this, but the root issue is the lack of professionalism. The use of force to protect an officer’s life when he feels threatened is justified. Sometimes a white officer arrests a black criminal. There is nothing wrong with either of these situations or a combination of the two.
