Extrajudicial Killing
Topic: Extra judicial killing in Jamaica
Audience: General Public
Purpose: To inform my audience of the many innocents lives that the Jamaica Constabulary Force takes on a yearly basis.
Thesis: Extra judicial killing lead to a large number of innocent deaths

I. Extra judicial killing have lead to a rapid increase in civilians death. A. Statistical reports show that over 1422 people have lost their lives innocently by the Jamaica Constabulary Force between the years 2000 and 2007. (Office, I. P. 2008) B. 22 year old Errol Spence was also killed innocently during the Tivoli incursion by the police authorities. (Fahim, 2010) II. This insufferable act is wrong and causing other civilians and family members to fear life. A. According to Smith 2012, “it is very hard for persons with family members or friends allegedly abuse to trust the Police authorities”. (smith, 2012) B. Robert Hill’s wife a victimized civilian left the country after her husband death because she feared the police would kill her next. III. It is even against the law of God to kill. A. (Exodus 20:13) “Thou shall not kill.” B. The bible also says that it is wrong for a man to judge the appearance of another man. (John 7:24)

Conclusion
However, it is only important and prudent for the authorities to know and taking the lives of civilians blatantly without a cause is egocentric. Nonetheless, they should seek to enhance their motto which clearly states, “We serve, we protect, we reassure with courtesy, integrity and proper respect for the rights of all", and cease to taking the lives of innocent civilians.

    There is a long tradition of research about the police use of deadly force, and reviews of this research have identified the characteristics of who was killed, by whom, and under what circumstances, as well as plausible suggestions to explain why. The studies on use-of-force policies and training have generally been prescriptive and have rarely reported the frequency with which officers use particular levels of force. The narrative accounts by independent researchers have tended to emphasize the researchers' personal interpretation of the police work and to highlight alleged and sometimes confirmed incidences of unusual, dramatic, illegal, or inappropriate behavior by officers or civilians (Garner, 715). These descriptions and insights provide a valuable basis for generating hypotheses about the nature of force and the situations in which force is used.…

    Executing condemned prisoners by lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment and should not be legal. Lethal injections are the most common procedure of capital punishment in the United States today, but it does not mean that it is the most civilized. Several states use the three-drug protocol, with sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide, and potassium. The other method is by injecting a large dose of barbiturate. Several problems can occur with these methods and cause excoriating pain and torcher. Physicians stand under the Hippocratic’s Oath to save people lives, not to kill them, often inexperienced technicians and orderlies carried out the injections of the drugs. It is cruel and inhumane to let untrained workers administer drugs to the prisoners when the result could in up badly. There are too many what ifs in this procedures and risk. Just because prisoners take a life does not mean we should.…

    A deadly civil war has been raging for two years in Syria between the government and the rebels. Consequently, on 21st August, Damascus was struck by rockets containing chemical materials. Within hours thousands of innocent people were left profoundly distressed at the barbaric aftermath caused by these sudden attacks. 1,429 people were killed including 426 children and the manner of their deaths was unspeakably grim. The Syrian government were accused of conducting these attacks but denied allegations even though evidence clearly shows they were complicit in this deeply inhumane massacre of their own people. Should we just stand passively and allow more chemical callous carnage or should we take military action with the strong possibility that if we do so this could lead to more deaths than we imagined despite the honourable motive involved.’…

    Imagine spending twenty three hours each day locked in a cage with only a window several inches in width, then one day being led to another room and being strapped to a bed. The curtains in a window open to people staring. A man comes into the room and inserts a needle in one arm. Something is injected, and a drowsy half-sleep comes, followed by two more injections. A burning ensues all over, and soon everything is gone. This is the fate of those condemned to death by lethal injection. The use of lethal injection is no better than any other method because of the suffering it causes, its cost, and the value of human life.…

    Murder is wrong. Since childhood we have been taught this indisputable truth. Ask yourself, then, what is capital punishment? In its simplest form, capital punishment is defined as one person taking the life of another. Coincidentally, that is the definition of murder. There are 36 states with the death penalty, and they must change. These states need to abolish it on the grounds that it carries a dangerous risk of punishing the innocent, is unethical and barbaric, and is an ineffective deterrent of crime versus the alternative of life in prison without parole.…

    Victims of police brutality can experience very harmful effects. A lot of innocent victims have died due to police. Tom Ryan, a reporter, states that “Undercover police officers shot Diallo 19 times while he was reaching for his wallet”. It was unnecessary to shoot Diallo that many amount of times without letting him explain. However, survivors of police brutality can be damaged from other effects. “Victims of police can suffer from psychological effects and disorders. Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) is an affliction that can lead to panic attacks, depression, substance abuse, and suicidal; tendencies”(Ryan). Victims can be very weary and traumatized of police after their previous experiences. Police brutality can negatively affect people…

    S: This essay is in the form of a New York Times article from March 27, 1964 where an assailant, Winston Moseley; 29, stabbed Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, 28, three times within a thirty-five minute period early one morning. The brutal murder was seen by at least thirty-eight people in a heavily populated neighborhood, yet none of these witnesses called the police until Ms. Genovese had already died around 3:50am. When asked why they didn’t call the police earlier, none of the witnesses could come up with a definitive answer. The most frequent response was; “I didn’t want to get involved.” This case confused police due to the high level of apathy to violence, an attitude that has become more prevalent in American culture as time has passed.…
