Hero in the Law Enforcement
A hero in our community,
Last year my life took a turn, right when I was facing one of the hardest times of my life God sent me an angel; someone that became my hero and showed me that life is one the most valuable things we have. Detective Miguel Sanchez from the Yuma Police Department, he is a person that is dedicated to his work, someone that has more qualities than what it takes to be in his position, someone trustworthy and with great ethics.
As my journey became hard, Detective Miguel Sanchez made me understand through many of his actions that when we do things for the right reason life pays us with things better than anything money can buy, like the satisfaction of saving someone’s life even when you are putting your own life in danger.
Many of us wake up every morning taking for granted the things that are really important in life, Detective Miguel Sanchez, like many of us is a human being with a family of his own that goes beyond his expectations in order to fulfill the duties that come along with his position, and that to me is what a hero does. I am a criminal justice student that one day dreams of being someone like him with so much respect and so many great qualities.
Detective Miguel Sanchez is a hero and like many others out there in this field, I want to thank you for helping our community and helping all of those that need angels in their life, God has a special place for heroes like you.
Thanks for being a

    The police and prison officials were most often mentioned as drowning in deceit and hidden motives. Mario Escobedo, Jr. is one of the best examples of how far the state police would go. Escobedo was a defense attorney for bus driver Gustavo González Meza, one of the bus drivers arrested and charged with crimes related to eight women found killed in a cotton field after being kidnapped and raped. Meza had been arrested along with another bus driver, Javier “Víctor” García Uribe, and police stated that both had confessed to the crimes. Escobedo had taken Meza on as a client after much thought and consideration for his own safety. After receiving anonymous threats over the phone, Escobedo was shot and killed while driving home from work. Mario Escobedo Sr. worked tirelessly to prove the state police were behind his son’s death. Escobedo Sr. said, “I still didn’t know then that my son’s own executioners were the agents and comandante of the judicial police of the state.” (Rodriguez, Montané, and Pulitzer, 2007, p.…

    Reading this novel was a definite wakeup call if you ask me. I can tell that when Rodriguez turned sixteen and decided to get out of the gang that he was serious. He was kicked out of his house and put in the garage which is when he begins writing on a typewriter about his life. In the novel the policemen were portrayed as “pigs” as they so called them but in truth they acted like them the provoked the gangs to fight and it was always the Mexicans being treated unfairly. This novel is endearing and heartfelt and definitely one of the best books I have ever…

    Everyman Film Analysis

    Instead of offering potential solutions to mitigate sexual violence or economic inequality, Carrera concludes the film with statistics corresponding to the prevalence of global femicide. This exclusion of a comforting ending, which typically occurs once the criminal is discovered and punished, serves to emphasize the severity of this global conflict. However, Carrera's most effective mode of depressing the final scenes of the film was to introduce his final villain, Detective Bravo. At the conclusion of the thriller, Carrera asks the viewer to question the virtue of Detective Bravo as she murders Mickey Santos, successful entrepreneur and pedophile. The scene begins with Mickey Santos catcalling a young teenager at night and detective Bravo subsequently ambushing him. Just as the archetypal villain describes his plans to the protagonists in murder mysteries, Carrera purposefully vocalizes Mickey Santos' internal thoughts to aid the audience's rationalization of Bravo's murder. Santos' surrender and prideful remarks of his "fair deal with the authorities to have a fair trial and fair sentence" reinforce the government's inability to rectify crime if it hinders economic prosperity. Through his taunting, Detective Bravo is pushed past the point of disillusionment and shoots Santos eight times with tears in her eyes. The shot then shifts from a crane view of Bravo sobbing to a silent fifteen-second shot of the full moon. This inclusion of a visual and auditory pause helps the audience gauge the gravity of Bravo's actions. Given Santos' wealth and power, Detective Bravo recognizes his sentence will be cut short and his immunity will be ensured by the economically dependent Mexican government. However, this killing is still murder and the audience leaves the movie more hopeless than at the…

    To begin describing my unlikely hero’s we first have to ask ourselves what makes a hero. Is it always a big, strong alpha male with a square jaw and cocky attitude? I hardly think so. I feel that a hero is someone who puts others needs in front of their own to complete whatever task is set before them, even though they may have to give their life in the process, they keep going. Once in a while you come across a story where the hero not only does not fit into the stereotypical hero status but is as far away from what you expect as you can get. The unlikely hero……

    The stereotype that is most commonly associated with New Zealand men is “the good kiwi bloke’. This is a very old stereotype but I believe it is still relevant in today’s society. Its characteristics include, laid back, man of few words, xenophobic, lacks fashion sense, the “she’ll be right attitude”, but the three characteristics I’m going to talk about is the DIY attitude, the idea of good kiwi blokes being modest and the idea of loyalty to mates. This stereotype is portrayed through media texts such as the “mother energy ads” and the mitre 10 “do it yourself” ad. This stereotype affects New Zealand me seem very likeable and hard working. This makes New Zealand a very attractive place to visit because of the way in which NZ men are portrayed.…
