Family Of Pedestrians: A Case Study
I hope your weekend is going great. I feel bad for the family of the pedestrians. However, it was an accident and I am quite certain that Officer Baker was not responding to the emergency with an intent of killing someone. It is certain that this judgment was teleological and I wish the justice system could have looked at it from a deonotological

    The case between Ms. Darcy Vs Big Car Company, I would have to agree 100% with what the Jugde decided to do. Based on the facts that were present, I would have ruled that this move onto trial in front of Jury of our peers as well. While Ms. Darcy was under the direct supervision of Clarence he was rude and forth coming with is attitude towards Ms. Darcy which was presented in lewd and harassing manner. With the many attempts that Ms. Darcy had towards Clarence he would continue to gesture and run into her in very threatening manner and making an hostile work environment for Ms. Darcy.…

    Ferguson was a quiet town until saturday, August 9, 2014, when Michael was said to have reached for officer Darren Wilson’s firearm. The case went on for two months and 27 days before the jury came to the decision of Darren Wilson not guilty. This opposition created many riots in Ferguson, which were not peaceful, “Buildings were set on fire, and looting was reported in several businesses”(NYT). This shows us that the people of Ferguson disagree with the decision of the jury.…

    Four officers were charged with the merciless beating of Rodney King. For the first time the world got to see what it was like to be a victim of brutality? King suffered extensive and painful injuries, to include head and face trauma, skull fractures, and nerve damage. The recorded video was powerful evidence against the worst type of police brutality.

    The video camera that was inside the jail cell where Cassandra Feuerstein was sent to catches the police using excessive force. In the video she is taken out of the room to take mug shots and to get her fingerprints. Soon after when they were bringing her back it clearly shows how the police officer purposely pushes Cassandra with a lot of force making her head go straight first on a concrete bench inside of the cell. As the medical officer puts her on his lap you can see there is a puddle of blood on the floor. The officer that pushed her did not come and help or say anything. She had many broken bones in her face which required a titanium plate. The officer from the Skokie police who shoved Cassandra was charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct. The officer has a bond of 75,000$ and he is now facing a sentence of probation to up to five years in prison. If it weren’t for the camera that was inside the cell Cassandra Feuerstein wouldn’t have gotten…

    Sandra Bland was arrested for not using her signal light while turning. She refused to get out of the car so the officer opened the door and tried to pull her out. Officer Encinia told Bland she was under arrest. She repeatedly asked why. The trooper did not answer, other than to say, "I am giving you a lawful order. "At one point, after Officer Encinia aimed what appeared to be a Taser at Bland, she stepped out of her car. Later, she can be heard saying: “You’re a real man now. You just slammed me, knocked my head in the ground." (Hassan, Carma, Holly Yan, and Max Blau. "Sandra Bland's Family Settles for $1.9M in Wrongful Death Suit." CNN. Cable News Network, 15 Sept. 2016. Web. 08 Mar. 2017.) This is what I mean by Police Officers using unnecessary force on us in minor situations. If I were to see these shootings by police officers and then to get pulled over by one, I would not get out of the car so easily either. It is so scary getting pulled over by police officers these days because you never know what kind of cop is pulling you…

    Ride Along

    I went on my ride along on Tuesday, April 30 with the NM State Police. I rode along with senior patrolman Israel Rodriguez. I had a lot of fun and think I learned a lot about how law enforcement actually works. The officer showed that he is always thinking about the law and how he has to be very careful in what he does so that he doesn’t get god evidence suppressed in court because he makes a small mistake. He said that it’s hard enough to get evidence admitted sometimes even when you collect it lawfully. We started out by cruising I-25 until we noticed a southbound vehicle with the driver not wearing his seatbelt. We pulled him over and gave him a citation and went on. We then received a call about a hit and run coming into town from Deming so we parked out and looked for the vehicle to come by that fit the description that the dispatcher gave us. We were waiting when we received another call about suspected child abuse on a 6 month old girl. As we were driving back to the station we kept getting more interesting information about the case. It turns out that the alleged abuser is a deputy with the Sheriff’s office and LCPD had already responded to the domestic violence call and didn’t take any action against the officer. The child had been returned to the mother with red marks on her neck, legs, and back and the mother had taken pictures. Officer Rodriguez spoke with the mother and heard about the officer’s previous use of intimidation and force when they fought, but that she didn’t want to proceed with charges, just that she wanted the incident documented. Officer Rodriguez wrote up a report and we jumped back on the highway when almost immediately we were lights and sirens toward a vehicle vs. truck collision on 185. We raced over there and jumped on the scene in which the motorcyclist was very injured and they ended up calling the helicopter to airlift him to the El Paso trauma unit. After a while Officer Rodriguez…

    The final decision was that the law written in West Virginia was constitutional and that Oyler is sentenced to life because it clearly states that if you say nothing expect that you didn't commit he crime you must be heard in front of a jury but Oyler and Crabtree both admitted to committing the crime so they are both sentenced to life in prison (Oyez). People must say that they didn't commit the crime in order to have a hearing and if they don't they will not be heard and sentenced to jail for…
