Senior project
Police Brutality |
My senior project was about Police Brutality. I had thought of my idea in my Humanities 1010 class when Jose had brought a video to class. The video consisted of a young girl being flipped over my a school police officer. I had thought to myself " this probably isn't the first time police brutality had taken place and probably wont be the last." I then decided to do my topic for my humanities class on police brutality with Noe who had a similar interest. We realized that police brutality can be divided into 3 groups and did some further research. I have come to realize as a conclusion that police brutality is most popular now. This just change because we are the new generation. If we don't allow police brutality to happen then it wont!

Police Brutality
There are many problems throughout the American culture and sadly police brutality is one of those. Police brutality has always been a problem throughout our history. It was defiantly a big problem during the slavery era. Police brutality can be categorized into three groups: physical violence, vocal police and emotional violence. All these violence’s have the same effect on the body and should be taken into careful consideration when dealing with people.
Physical abuse is the most popular when you deal with police officers. Now a days police officers are armed with guns, tazors and stick to keep people in line. This is wrong if it is used for their benefit when not needed. Cop found not guilty of murdering an unarmed innocent woman, even after he was caught on dash cam video shooting her without warning,
there are many examples other than this that happen constantly every day.
they are missing out on something if they don’t take substances to have fun. Brys also says “Teens who attend religious services about once a week are less likely to take part in drugs, alcohol or tobacco use.” Brys believes student that is religious and put into these situations using or seeing it on social media will turn away. Megan Moreno and Jennifer Whithill both scholarly writers talk about the increase of social media being used to adolescents. Megan agreeing with Brys states talks about the display of people having fun at parties or in pictures with the use of substance abuse taking part. Megan says “Such online displays of alcohol behavior have been correlated with offline alcohol behavior and risky drinking. The numbers don’t stop there. Whithill states statistics that research has shown higher risk of substance abuse shown in teens when seen on social media. Whithill says “Researchers are beginning to assess the potential of social media sites in identifying high-risk drinkers through online display patterns as well as delivering prevention messages and interventions. “ Brys study also had one of the same states showing the increase of kids using drugs skyrocketed when seen on media. Agreeing with Brys, Megan and Jennifer is the American Academy of Pediatrics. The Pediatrics team for adolescent found traumatizing information about the portrayal of substance abuse in TV shows, movies and music. The team says “between the years 1996 and 2004, the researchers found that three out of four movies rated G, PG or PG-13 featured people smoking tobacco. In R-rated movies, the rate was even higher, at 90 percent.” Now that years have gone by the numbers have only grown from 2004.Brys says alcohol and social media go hand in hand with movies and music with three times likely to try a substance. Well the Pediatrics team agrees; they say “According to a study conducted in Columbia, people who watch R-rated movies are six times more likely to try marijuana. Through October, 45 people had been killed by law enforcement officers in Utah since 2010, accounting for 15 percent of all homicides during that period.
A Salt Lake Tribune review of nearly 300 homicides, using media reports, state crime statistics, medical-examiner records and court records, shows that use of force by police is the second-most common circumstance under which Utahans kills each other, surpassed only by intimate partner violence. Does that mean such deaths should be treated as the inevitable cost of keeping police and the public safe?
"Police are trained and expected to react to deadly threats. As many deadly threats emerge is the exact amount of times police will respond," wrote Ian Adams, a West Jordan police officer and spokesman for the Utah Fraternal Order of Police. "The onus is on the person being arrested to stop trying to assault and kill police officers and the innocent public. … Why do some in society continue to insist the problem lies with police officers?"
But Robert Wadman, a criminal justice professor at Weber State University and former chief of the Omaha, Neb., police department, said the factors leading up to the decision to shoot a subject are more subtle than what prosecutors consider when reviewing the legal justification. Under Utah law, an officer is justified if at the moment of the shooting the officer reasonably believes deadly force is necessary to prevent death or serious injury. Sometimes the line between is it legal and is it necessary but police offers should know where that line lies.
