He was commit bank robbery and murder. During the investigation, police are narrowing down an area of suspects that the offender was a left-handed person. It is because the CCTV displayed that the person who commit the bank robbery is holding a gun with the left-hand. Then, police narrowed down the area of suspects, Tsui Po was not a suspect in the crime area so that police cannot arrest the offender as soon as possible. But, this does not imply that profiles should be ignored or should never be used by police again, but that profiling should be approached with caution.
Today I want to tell you of the injustice of police brutality, the people it affects, and how just asking the right questions could make sure that police are punished for their crimes. BODY PARAGRAPH 1 Police brutality is a big problem in the United States. Police brutality is a misconduct when police use violence that is not necessary. This includes unjust shootings, which is when whoever was shot did not deserve to be shot because they either did nothing wrong or was complying with orders but was still shot. This is a big problem in the U.S. because it happens all around the states.
Due to the severity of the crime John Burke is charged with, the judge decides to deny John Burke bail, and have him detained in the local jail. Now for the sake of this study, I’m going to say that no plea-bargaining was done and that John Burke entered a plea of not guilty in the murder of Joseph Ronan and waived his right to a preliminary hearing. In a preliminary hearing, “The prosecutor must show that enough evidence exists to charge the defendant” ("Preliminary Hearing"). Since Mr. Burke waived his right to a preliminary hearing the following step in the process would be going to
“When dealing with civilian suspects and the amount of force a police can apply during an arrest it places them in a very shaky situation. When police officers make decisions and choices based on the current situation without referring to any policies and procedures, just by following one's own judgment this is called discretion”(Douthit, 1975). Officers can get super nervous when it comes to using force when putting someone under arrest. That’s the moment where the police have to use discretion to get a conclusion. On other occasions, there could be times when the officers have no other choice, but to use deadly force.
For example intimidation, bribery, denial of rights and mental exhaustion are against the guidelines of the Reid Technique, however, they are often used in order to gain a suspect’s cooperation (https://www.cga.ct.gov/2014/rpt/2014-R-0071.htm). In an investigation where a father was accused of murdering his infant son, the interrogators repeatedly used techniques to mentally exhaust the suspect in an effort to break him. Throughout the interrogation, the father repeatedly denied that he was at fault, however, the interrogator insisted that he was, describing different scenarios that could have played out and suggesting different motives the father could have had in killing the infant. At one point the interrogator claimed he had “received detailed information about the infant’s injuries from the medical examiner that disproved what the father said”, even though the coroner’s report couldn’t prove anything (Brainerd,
The bystander effect is defined as the effect in which one person feels unobligated to help a situation because there are other people around. An example of this is the movie is when the two black guys in the stolen vehicle hit a man and because the other is present they feel it is best for their sake to stand by and run away from the man they just hit. This behavior shown towards the man who was hit is discourteous and occurred because the two men did not feel inclined to help the man they hit because the other was present. Defensive attribution is the tendency to blame the victim for the crime and is another aspect of social psychology found in the film Crash. One example of this in the film is the same example as stated before; when the two black men hit the pedestrian with a vehicle they stole.
It is against NYPD rules to use the headlock. Mr. Garner pleaded to get out and kept saying “I can’t breathe” but the officers did not let go of him and Mr. Garner died. Even though it is against the rules to use a headlock and the officer killed Mr. Garner, he was not found guilty. This incident represents racial injustice because the punishment for the white male was more lenient that it should have been. Because of these ongoing incidents, groups such as Black Lives Matter arose to protest the racial
Hammers are tools, but all three can be used to harm or kill others and on that you cannot logically disagree. Firearms are a deterrent to criminals who would attack anyone anytime and anywhere...because of the unknown fact that their victim might be armed with a firearm and use it to save their life and protect their property and loved ones. Firearms are also a check & balance to the potential of government abuses of power. You may feel that to be an unrealistic statement, but ask the Jews who survived the Holocaust if firearms were not first taken away before they were misled into believing that they were being relocated (instead
It was here that his attachment to his deviant, gang peers (taking the place of his late father) caused him to go back into gangs and commit murder. Why did Mr. Hernandez turn to crime, even though he shouldn’t be a criminal, according to social control theory? Though this theory formulates some valid arguments, it does not tell the whole story when it comes to crime.
