    The world is full of camera phones, different social media outlets, and the work of law enforcement is not hidden anymore, the general public can see the police officers performing their jobs.

    Radley Balko Case Study

    The Utah police shot a young man who had a golf club and thought his home was being burglarized. Although, the suspect could have been on drugs during the raid, the officers had the discretion to talk the gentleman down or to use force. In the video, it clearly shows that before the roommate could get out of the hallway, shots were fired. You can clearly see that the roommate did not have a gun, but that he had a golf club in his hand. In this case the police could have shot the man with a taser gun instead of a gun, or if they had fear of weapons used, they could have shot the man in a non fatal area. The second video shows the officer shooting someone who had a knife. The suspect was asked by police to put down his knife and within seconds the man was fatally shot. The officer could have given the man more time to drop his knife, no matter the area of where the man had the knife on him. Although the police camera did not record the visual aspect of the confrontation between the man and the officer, the officer decision cost a man of his life. In the recording the officer was asked by a woman who was near the scene why did he shoot the man. The officer responded and stated that he did not put the knife down as requested. The officer was cleared of any charges in this case. The officer could have given more time for the man to put the knife down or tased the man, or used pepper spray to ensure officer safety. The last video, although had no fatalities, showed that they officers were unethical in their decision making. The last video records officers joking and singing in a suspect’s musical equipment, after they enter the home believing drugs were sold out of the home. The homeowner did have personal use marijuana in the home not and enough to sell as mass distribution. After the officers realized that the musical equipment was expensive and exceptional the officers started…

    Tennessee Vs Garner Research Paper

    Just months ago, an unarmed man was killed by an officer in Charleston, South Carolina as he ran away from him. The officer fired multiple rounds hitting the man at least 7 times, killing him. In my opinion, because the man was older than the officer, had not committed a violent crime, nor was he trying to harm the officer, he did not pose much of a threat in this occurrence. It has become more and more common for this to happen.…

    Title VII Civil Rights Act Assignment Analysis

    The long term success of any organization ultimately depends on having the right people in the right jobs at the right time. Objectives and the strategies used to achieve those objectives are meaningful only when people with the appropriate talents, skills, and desire are available to carry out those missions. For this assignment, I have researched the following four pieces of federal legislation and how these pieces of legislation can effect and create additional challenges for recruiters, the talent acquisition process as a whole, and how Human Resources departments process their internal procedures to be complaint with federal law.

    Non Lethal Weapons: A Controversial Debate

    In a case in Birmingham Alabama, forty-one year old Rockey Bryson was found dead in his jail cell 12 hours after being tasered. His family believed that he was tasered 20 to 30 times just because the police needed to subdue him after a confrontation in the cell. (Hambling) The use of the weapon in a circumstance such as this one could be looked at as unwarranted and unnecessary due to the numerous times he was allegedly tasered. Since officers are forced to use their discretion when making decisions, the use of the taser could be a weapon that an officer may become fond of because of how easy it is to incapacitate offenders and he may become trigger happy. Every time an officer uses this weapon he must tell his supervisor and file a report, and in departments all over the country "there are some names (officers) that keep coming up again and again and again. And if you've got a bad apple in the barrel you have to get rid of it, because if you don't it turns all of the other apples bad” (Brian…

    Racial Profiling Is Bad

    This is one of the cases where a white police officer gets away with murder and gets an easy punishment. In the case of Christian Taylor shooting, a 19 year old African American male was shot because a police officer assumed that this male had a gun because there was a bulge in his pocket. After Christian was shot they found out that the bulge was his wallet. This is an act of racial profiling because he acted upon his assumptions that he had a gun because he was black. And then to top it off just because he's white he's not convicted of a crime. This is murder and police brutality and his only punishment was getting fired. It sates in the article that the grand Jury won't take action about the shooting. ABC news states the out come of the case according to Brad millers attorney: “Today, the Tarrant County Grand Jury voted to take no action against former Arlington police officer Brad Miller from the August 2015 incident which resulted in the death of Christian Taylor” (Attorney Sharen Wilson). Police brutality break so many civil rights, what's the point of having them if some police officer thinks they are greater than the laws just because they're…
