3-4 Disucssion

Over the weekend a man in New Bedford was caught unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm. Members of the narcotic unit and gang unit developed information about this individual and set up surveillance on Saturday night. The individual got into a cab that the officers were able to follow. The cab was shortly stopped by the officers. The man was taken out of the car and a pat frisk took place. The male was trying to press against the car to make it difficult for the officers to feel the loaded firearm, but the officers found it anyway. During the frisk pat a loaded 9mm Glock handgun was found with 8 rounds, one of the rounds being in the chamber. The male was placed under arrest and detectives are working to determine the origin of the handgun. The officers had to use their discretionary judgment with this individual because they were placing themselves in a potential harmful situation dealing with a person who had a loaded handgun. Placing surveillance was a critical decision point because they were able to monitor this individual before chasing after him. It was good that they were able to follow the cab and pull the cab over without placing the cab driver in danger as well. I think the decisions they made were very appropriate for the situation because if this man was not caught he would've been roaming the streets with a loaded handgun and could've potentially really hurt someone. I think police officers usually make the decisions

Essay On Institutional Racism

such as Michael Brown who was shot by police because he went for a cops gun inside a cops car. Slyville Smith was killed because he had a record of various arrests, and refused to put his illegally obtained pistol down when an officer asked him to. Where are the overzealous white cops who are out to take young black men into prisons for no reason? Where are the cops who kill solely because they're racist? Some may argue that cops who are pulling people over for “small” crimes like a broken tail light…

Police Pushing Power

people, food, and vibes usually dial up a decent party. However that all changed after I heard someone yell “cops!” Cops are never in the recipe for a decent party. As everyone was in a frantic about the cops being outside I soon realized that I had no alcohol in my system nor could I go to jail for anything I did, so I calmed myself down mentally so I could think straight. As the cops pounded on the door the cheerleader who owned the house answered the door. Moments later I heard an unorganized…

that they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. People are always talking about how all cops are racist and how all black are criminals.

Discrimination Against Groups In America

have a right to have your own opinion and you can believe whatever you want but disliking an entire group without any reasons or cause is ridiculous. But I also feel like news and other forms of media like to exaggerate stories to make it sound like many people are getting discriminated against. For instance lately you you've been hearing stories about cops killing black people on the news and each time this happens it automatically makes that cop racist. And now it seems like if any cop…
