The main point of this article is to show that many prisoners get beaten by officers everyday some may have a reason but others are just because they want to and they do it because they have the power and inmates don’t. One case that sticks the most out is when officers came out yelling towards the inmates and started beating on them and he said and I quote “They came running inside yelling and
The poem that I chose is Ghost Dance by Sara Littlecrow-Russell. The title is something that sounded familiar to me, but the reason I chose to read this poem originally was that it told a story rather than describing something, someone, or a feeling, which had been a common theme among the poems that I had been browsing. I also knew that I wanted to recite a poem that used a more low tone rather than an upbeat one, which is something that the majority of this poem had. Subtle and major tone changes and pauses were more easily visualized for me while reading this the first few times more than some of the previous poems I had read. Finally, I had realized that the poem is something that I already had some knowledge on from another class that I had been taking during the year.
One common opinion is that officers should not use more force than is necessary or reasonable, and even then, that force should be used only as a last resort. “Police use force to affect civilians’ conduct. On a day-to-day basis, they do so most often by employing the least degree of force available to them, their mere presence. Cops wear uniforms and drive distinctly marked cars so that, without saying a word, they may have an effect on citizens’ behavior” (Fyfe, 38). When an officer’s presence fails to fulfill the desired conduct, the next course of action for said officer would be verbalization.
It says, “But I also don't believe murderous racist intention is necessary to make an execution a brutal, racist act.” (Lennard, 2016) This means that not only do they use excessive force, but they mostly target people of different race, color and in different cases use force on people depending where they are. To end, it is clear that some people are harmed by an inconvenience due to police and how they do it on their
Black Flag says this because they feel that the rights of the average citizen are being taken away in favor of the police. The police are able to get away with something that citizens are not able to do
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is a graphic memoir that reveals the life of a woman growing up in pre-revolution and post-revolution Iran, as well as her experiences in Western countries. In this book, Marjane recalls and highlights historical events that affect her life during her upbringing in Iran. These include the oppression of the Shah, along with the rise and effects of the regime. These events are integrated into Persepolis in order to showcase their effects on Marjane and the other citizens of her country. These events’ inclusion are important due to the context and understanding that they grant readers unfamiliar with the text.
Police brutality occurs against those of all races and genders. A new form of violence between civilians and police
Karl Rahner, regarded as one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century, presents a succinct yet influential treatise attempting to provide a systematic reflection on the doctrine of the Trinity, out of a response to the Neo-Scholasticism of the twentieth century, which produced a “Unitarian” Christology and theology of grace. Summary After laying the foundation for his grandaxiom, the economic Trinity is the immanent Trinity and the immanent Trinity is the economic Trinity, in part two, Rahner attempts to provide a systematic exposition of the teachings of the magisterium regarding the Trinitarian doctrine. Having recognized the recondite nature of the Trinity, Rahner evaluates conciliar terms, such as ‘person,’ ‘substance,’
Baldwin wrote how the police were“...totally unprepared, as is the way with American hemen, for anything that could not be settled with a club or a fist or a gun. I might have pitied them if I had not found myself in their hands so often and discovered, through ugly experience, what they were like when they held the power,” (Baldwin 48,49) It is more the evident that we must stand up for our brothers and sister, no matter what are race is. As children, we were all taught right from wrong and as a nation we know that these acts of discrimination and social injustices are wrong. We must rise together as one, loving ourselves and others, speaking up when we know something is not just and educating ourselves of cultures that are not ours.
Without God as a guiding presence in her life, Marji began to rebel against the ever-encroaching fundamentalist institution as much as possible. Under the pretense of religion, Iran strictly enforced new laws against social gatherings and all items of decadence, “They found records and video-cassettes at their place. A deck of cards, a chess set, in other words, everything that’s banned… It earned him seventy-five lashes”(105). This sudden loss of mediums to enjoy one’s self and prevalence of excessive punishment enforcing the declared moral code (132) were invitations to rebel for Marji.
She believed that when she returned home, her feelings would be safe and she would be able to act more freely, yet it wasn’t the case. Satrapi uses dark images and writes, “I am nothing”, to emphasize
Over the years, countries have witnessed many cases of police brutality, which has tremendously increased since the 80’s. Every day, officers are faced with many threatening situations, forcing them to make split-second decisions all the while simultaneously both expecting the worst along and hoping for the best. Police officers shouldn't have more power than any other human-being on this planet just because they wear a badge on their chest especially given the power to take any citizen's rights away, even their lives. Police brutality contains a lot of ethos, racism, and pathos because police are meant to protect society from harm, First of all, police brutality is hypocrisy, police should be properly trained so they do not resort to violence and abuse of its power. It’s illegal for a cop to violate someone's rights; police officers are suppose to be trusted and expected to respect society as a whole.
Police Brutality is an ongoing problem and existent concern in the United States and should be resolved immediately. Law enforcement must function as an element that consists of organized and civilized officers. The presence of police brutality is becoming more of an issue as society grows. The problem posed by the illegal exercise of police power is an ongoing reality for individuals of a disfavored race, class, or sexual orientation. Police brutality must be stopped so that police do not forget who they are serving – not themselves, but the public.
Everything can be viewed from two perspectives; A fist fight, a murder, bullying, just to name a few situations. This is still the case with Iran and it’s people. Iran and its neighboring countries are often portrayed negatively as terrorist, or failed nations. This is not always the truth, however, and one can learn that through Marjane’s coming of age story, Persepolis. The personal nature of the story is told through Marjane’s loss of innocence, her opinions on religion, and her observation of the prominent gender roles.
[ Imagine this scenario: you are complying with the police that are screaming at you, guns pointed at you, screaming “please don 't shoot” and trying your best to do what the police are asking. Daniel Shaver was an unarmed man fatally shot for no good reason. He was complying with the police officers orders and was begging for his life, screaming “please don’t shoot,” before he was fatally shot 5 times. Unfortunately, this is just one example of police brutality, an instance when police use unnecessary force when either they are unarmed or are complying with orders. Today I want to tell you of the injustice of police brutality, the people it affects, and how just asking the right questions could make sure that police are punished for their crimes.
