Bolcer V. Judicial Case Study

How would you feel if your child waa killed while playing in the park with a toy gun ? November 23, 2014 Tamir Rice another young African American male was killed by the police just like all the others killed by the police. In this case there are many ways to show that the case was unjustified. In the case there is a video on youtube and the internet named " Tamir Rice 's Shooting " showing that the policemen shooting Tamir and handcuffing his sister so she couldn 't get to him. Also shows the police officer ignorimg proper procedure and showing them pull up recklessly and shooting Tamir. Some felt as if this case was justified others felt it was not. This case was unjustified because it was an racial crime , officer ignored proper procedure however; the only threat was being a 12 year old with a toy gun.

The Ninth Amendment states: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be constructed or deny or disparage others retained by the people” (Bill of Rights). This amendment was made to protect people’s rights. Including things like marriage, abortion, slavery, and police conduct. However, this modification has been compromised several times in the past and the present.

Did you know that White Americans have a higher chance to be frisked than to be shot? That is the opposite for African Americans. They have a higher chance of being shot before being frisked. But to push this farther, cops are trained on reaction. If you quickly put your hand in your pocket and you don’t do as told, police may think you have a dangerous item in your pocket, so you end up wounded or tazered. Police officers are not racist; they are doing their job..

Cecily Strong is a comedian of the famous and popular show Saturday Night Live on NBC. She often works with her coworkers to made fun of what happening in the world. As a comedian, many of her jokes fall into the category of dry sarcasm. So, it is important to take that into consideration when watching the speeches she gives. In in April of 2015, she gave a speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner at the Washington Hilton.

“I can’t breathe” were the last words Eric Garner spoke. Eric Garner was killed by NYPD officers that used an illegal choke hold to be attained. At the time he was committing no crime, but had a previous record. Eric is one of many to be killed due to police brutality. Police brutality has been around for many years, but has most recently gained attention through the cases of many such as Michael Brown and Garner. Michael Brown’s situation is a little more different than Eric. Michael was stealing a pack of cigs but as he was coming out of the store police officers were already dispatched. His partner actually got away from the police officers but as for Michael he was still being chased, Michael was chased for a while so he decided to surrender but as he surrendered the officers shot him down. Witnesses said that Michael decided to

One historic example of racial bias in the police force is Dr.King 's march from Selma. In Marion, Alabama on February 18, a group of peaceful demonstrators were attacked by white segregationists. During this attack one of the younger demonstrators, Jimmie Lee Jackson, was killed by a state trooper. In response, Dr Martin Luther King led a 54 mile march early in 1965 in Montgomery, Alabama from Selma that lasted five days to the capital where many oppressed black citizens had been campaigning for voting rights including, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). On Sunday, March 7, 1965 protesters got ready to go to Montgomery but Alabama state police officers with weapons

It 's been about a year and a half since 18 year old Michael Brown was shot by Officer Darren Wilson. This ordeal still holds a lot of controversy. I, myself believe that Wilson 's action were unjustifiable and way worse than just unfair. Regardless of whether or not Michael had stolen something, shooting to kill was unnessecary. It was also unacceptabe and disrespectful for his body to be taken away hours later and in a cop car. When I heard about what had happened I was enraged because it seemed that once again race had made the situation sticky. However, if we were to take away the fact that Michael was black and Wilson was white, it still would not have made Wilson 's actions any better. When you look at the statistics of the matter you can 't help but place blame on the justice system. 1 in 15 black men are incarcerated in comparison to 1 in 106 white men. This to me is a gap that is to huge to call a coincidence. Racial profiling and subliminal messages on T.V. make criminal charges look more and more like a death sentence for young black

In the case of Missouri vs. Seibert lies many liable facts within the case. Some of the relevant facts is that a woman named Patrice Seibert along with accomplices which includes her son and his friends, sets their mobile home on fire with the dead body of her 12-year-old son along with a mentally ill 17-year-old Donald Rector whom was living in the household, and days after the fire, Seibert was interrogated by a police officer. The officer initially withheld her Miranda warnings, hoping to get a confession from her first. Once she had confessed, the officer took a short break from questioning, then preceded to read her, her Miranda rights and resumed questioning after she waived those rights. The officer swayed her to reiterate the confession

Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed on August 9, 2014 by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in Ferguson, Missouri. The shooting prompted protests. When it was announced that Officer Wilson would not be indicted, the announcement set off another wave of protests. Not all police officers are dishonest and abuse their power but It 's obvious that today 's community of people has a suspicion of officers true intentions. The idea of cops and cameras has been around for a while but ever since the fatal shooting of Michael Brown the debate on whether police officers should be required to wear body cameras has been the center of attention. I believe that police officers should have to wear body cameras while on duty.

The second source summarizes how Sandra Bland's family filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the Waller County Sheriff's Office The family and activists have raised questions over the traffic stop and whether Bland committed suicide. Cooper, 31, a businesswoman, said the family is concerned that authorities have been releasing information selectively, including dashboard camera videos from the police car of another officer who responded after Encinia stopped Bland. The intended audience of this article is the press and the police departments who lack watching over the people who are incarcerated. The family is concerned with the way the authorities have been handling the situation. The authorities are the ones who caused the problem and now

Both suspects were unarmed and harmless so ending their lives was an action that shouldn’t have happened. Michael Brown was facing the police officer to basically surrender when he was shot 12 times. Brown’s friend that was present when his death happened told MSNBC, “The officer came up to us and told us to “get the **** on the sidewalk” and then threatened us by saying “I’m going to shoot you.” (Johnson, NBC News). This is a prime example of police brutality and excessive use of violence. When Garner kept begging for air, why didn’t the officer let go? In an Al Baker’s article that I read, Obama stated “When anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that is a problem,” Mr. Obama also said, “and it’s my job as president to help solve it.” (Baker). In both cases the suspects were unarmed and showed no real threat to officers, yet the officer took lethal action. Aren’t officers suppose to look out for the greater good of the civilians, not endanger

My second reason was that the NYPD wasn't even supposed to put anyone in the chokehold. The chokehold is not allowed but Daniel pantaleo (the NYPD police officer who killed Eric garner) used the choke hold. Choke hold or any movement that restricts a person's windpipe have been banned under the NYPD patrol guide since 1993. Therefore he shouldn't have put him under choke hold by law in the first place.

Sandra Bland was reportedly in Austin, Texas interviewing for a position at her former college. Sandra Bland was stopped July 10, 2015 by Trooper Brian Encia in Austin, Texas. She was originally pulled over for failing to signal a lane change. However, this simple traffic stop turned into an arrest and later a claimed suicide because Sandra Bland refused to put out her cigarette and supposedly assaulted the trooper. Did Sandra Bland commit suicide or was she killed to cover up a police officer’s unnecessary arrest? Many facts in this story have revealed that the officer used unnecessary force and threatening words while Bland practiced her rights.

Police brutality on African-American’s is violent and harmful. In our society today many police are unfairly treating African American people.There is a lot of evidence and statistics here that can help me prove what I 'm saying is the truth. Police brutality on African Americans is a terrible social injustice that must end.
