    There are many people that oppose my opinion. Many people believe that officers do not use excessive force, that what happens is not police brutality and that these officers are only doing their job. There is no doubt that some are doing exactly that, their job, but when there is an officer that is shooting at a young man several times is unnecessary. This happened to Michael Brown, according to Darren Wilson, the officer that shot him, he fit the description a suspect who had stolen cigarettes. The officer pulled over Michael Brown and his friend. Michael Brown got away and the officer chased after him and many witnesses said that Brown was surrendering to the officer, while others said that Brown was charging toward the officer, either way,…

    In October 1997, I heard on the radio that Luke Woodham, a sixteenyear-old, had killed two classmates and wounded seven others in a school shooting in Pearl, Mississippi. In a note, Luke declared: “I am not insane. I am angry. I killed because people like me are mistreated every day.”1 He explained that he was tired of being called a “faggot”; he was additionally enraged that his girlfriend—whom he killed in the shooting—had broken up with him. At the start of the Woodham case, I began examining school shootings. Two months after the massacre in Mississippi came a shooting in Kentucky, then one in Arkansas that same month, and then another in Arkansas three months later in March 1998. There was a shooting in Pennsylvania that April, in Tennessee…

    Using quotes from Governor Scott Walker, former United States Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, and news personality Megyn Kelly, all of whom jump to the conclusions about Gliniewicz death and that he was targeted because he was a law enforcement officer and that this act was sparked by the by the Black Lives Matter Movement. Governor Scott Walker went further and pointed a finger at President Obama for the “racial tensions” and a “tendency to use law enforcement as a scapegoat.” Blow went further and added a quote from Gliniewicz’s widow stating that she had not heard from the president and said, “When our officers can’t go home without being shot at, then there’s a problem” (Blow). Blow uses all of these well known individuals and their quotes as examples to “illustrate the ultimate danger of reactionary narrative-building and rabid hashtag orthodoxy” (Blow). His message is for us to stop and think before we jump to conclusions. If one can assume “that not every black life is taken with malice,” then maybe “not every police officer's life taken is the result of a hostile policing environment” (Blow). Blow clearly constructs a logical argument that makes one think about the other side of this…

    This article was informing us on the first, basic information that was gathered about the case. It includes stories from both sides of the case and contradictions of both. Such as, if Brown was actually innocent or not and exactly how many times he was shot. Personally, I’m almost certain that this entire case was taken too far. It seems to me like the races of the victim and the officer have a lot to do with the intensity of the case and what everyone else has to say about it. If races weren’t leaked when the story was, would people’s opinions on it be different? I think so.…

    One day, while I was laying peacefully on my bed, my mother came in with a letter from Florida A&M University. I didn't really want to speculate anything because a few days before I received a letter from another college saying that I wasn't accepted. Nevertheless I was still excited when I opened it and even more so when I read that I had been accepted. So without much hesitation I packed up and headed to Tallahassee. When I arrived my mother and I took care of registration and a plethora of things you have to manage as a new student. After all the hassles of college registration were completed my mother departed for home and I was left by myself to attend college. What a great feeling!
