SQUEEEKK! The police car skidded across the side of the road, leaving a swiveling trail of black marks in its tracks. “Stop right where you are!” A deep officer’s voice shouted out the car window. Melanie and Henry’s faces turned red as a tomato. “What's wrong.. officer?” Henry stuttered weakly as he and Melanie paused from walking. “I've got a report about you kids, especially you, girl!” The officer screeched, peeking above the top of his deep blue sunglasses. Melanie and Henry's innocent faces turned toward each other, shocked, then their eye’s went right back to the officer’s. “Gimme that bag!” The officer continued, ripping Melanie's brand new bag from her shoulder. “Well….well…..well… look what we have here!” The officer laughed as he pulled a sharp, blood red knife from Melanie's bag! …show more content…
“Cuff ‘em!” The officer motioned toward the car. Five large men piled out of the tiny car, two carried handcuffs, while the others held guns. Surrounded with nowhere to run. The young children screamed at the top of their lungs as they were held roughly against the sidewalk. “We didn't do it.. someone put that in her bag!” Henry balled. “We’re just children!” Melanie's eyes filled with tears and terror. The sharp metal handcuffs scraped against their skin, clicking shut. That noise will be played through their mind for years. They were probably never coming off. Five years have passed since they have been locked up. In jail for being innocent. But this… this was the year they would finally get justice. The same schedule for five years; eat, work, sleep,
At around 3:14 pm. Santa Rosa Police officer Erick Gelhaus and his partner, a trainee, were patrolling Moorland Avenue located just before the outskirts of Santa Rosa. Gelhaus who was sitting in the passenger side of the police vehicle, then spotted an individual (now known to be Andy Lopez) with his back facing towards them walking down the street holding what appeared to be an AK-47 assault rifle (Johnson). The trainee officer then stopped the vehicle just a mere 20 to 30 feet away, allowing for Gelhaus to quickly step out and order Lopez to drop the weapon (Chea). Many community members argue that the trainee officer should have gone out of the police vehicle with Gelhaus if Lopez was indeed a threat to the community. The trainee officer however did not exit the vehicle since “at that point Deputy Gelhaus had already engaged the subject, with the commands and with the weapon. The threat was essentially over” (Johnson). This explains why the trainee officer remained in the police vehicle during the confrontation.
“He was carried through the exit to the back street and lifted into a police car. The siren began to scream and at first he thought he was making the noise himself. He felt his lips with his hands. They were clamped tight. He knew then it was the siren. For some reason this made him laugh and he began to imitate the siren as loud as he could.” (185)
☺ (hyphenated modifiers). Three men in SFPD jackets go into smaller markets, rob the store and then murders whoever is working. They set up their robbery by first calling the police to distract them from their crime. One of the three men states that they heard shots half a mile away to force the police to go to a different location. Then once they hear the police sirens they decide to start their robbery. They put on their SFPD windbreakers, masks in their pockets, and guns in their belt. As they walk up to the entrance of the store, they make it seem as if they are police, but the second they get into the store they are no longer police, they are robbers ☺ (simile). They make whoever is working unlock the safe or cash drawer and say, “Everything will be fine. Just do what I say” (Patterson 65). After they get their money, BAM, they shoot the victim and escape, leaving only a dead body and no evidence☺ (onomatopoeia). Lindsay figures that the men are police but she does not know for sure because they are not obeying their job
“Ain't no police around here, Sweetie,” Junior said. The blond's brows wrinkled. She must be a newcomer. Junior explained the situation. “Sheriff's office is gutted, jail's got a revolving door. Only detectives are Staters out of Medford. If we're lucky.” He took a swig of beer. “You can thank Myra Lipton for
“You know, you have to move fast or face the consequences,” said the officer after a dozen passengers moved out of earshot. Frank’s head shook in disbelief. Eyes were everywhere. He played cool. He hated the way the officer smelled, like wet dirty clothes worn for more than they should.
They may have lost their family, homes, and most importantly, hope. Coping with lost time involves managing circumstances that occurred during incarceration such as deaths, weddings, relating to their children, and cultural changes. There are many consequences to society regarding wrongful convictions.
The first thing that was displayed on the screen that read Bryan's thoughts was a strange place. It seemed blurry at first, but the image cleared up as he thought more profoundly of the memory. It showed a strange place that seemed a bit too violent for humans to inhabit it, which meant it had to be an abstract memory or a different dimension. Wendy knew about alternate dimensions because she had studied about them in college. She knew right away that it looked a bit too... fiery for human life to flourish on here.
Everyday law enforcement personal have the possibility to face dangerous events in their daily duties. In performing such duties a police officer could come by a seemingly ordinary task, and in a blink of an eye the event can turn threatening and possible deadly.

Birds and stars were flying right above me. I sat there looking at them for a while. Still squeezing the ball for five seconds and releasing for three. I could not think of anything my head felt fuzzy, so I continued to look at the birds and stars despite that these were warning signs. Somebody was right beside me I could not make out who. Perhaps, I should tell him. I debated it until it just slipped out of my mouth, “Heya, dude, I am feeling a lit- little lightheaded here.” My thoughts were racing now, Did he hear me? Wouldn’t they do something? Do they know what to do? Should I try again? Okay the most logical thing to do is to try and tell him again, he must of not heard me, he wouldn’t just leave me here. Though I decided that I was going to tell him, my head was still fuzzy, I continued to look at the birds and the stars. Wait, why am I here? What
“Say no more! Let's begin,” she says. She bids us to stand up and shuffles us past a few curtains and into a tiny room with a dingy table and three chairs.
Streaming like rivers down my face were tears that day, my heart torn to shreds in a matter of only minutes. Starting with a decision, impossible for some, and yet I had already decided on my answer beforehand. No, I wouldn't trade places, I wouldn't let you save me at such vast of a cost. In the end, it didn't matter, what I said didn't make a difference, the same thing happened. Murdered in cold blood right in front of me, electricity jolted through his body, without a hint of hesitation from the executioner and Liam was gone.

One day Ben had a check up at the doctor's office. He felt like something was wrong because he had been having bad headaches and been really nauseous. His doctor told him it might just be stress or or not eating well. Ben went home and after a few days he still felt sick and had the worst head ache. So Ben called the doctor again and wanted to get an MRI or something to at least see what’s going on inside his head. The doctor put him through the scanner and he went in the back room to wait for his results. Two hours later his doctor came out looking at him asking himself how can such a young person have brain cancer already. “Doctor Renee before you say anything just tell me if it’s good news or bad.” She replied with a little sigh of help.
It all started in medieval Europe, at the castle of the great king. The moon was overhead, but the party would continue on for several more hours. The princess sighed while she was led across the floor by yet another young man vying for her hand. This one was a hopelessly awful dancer, seeming to have two left feet. If she had to wear these heels any longer, she might just sit down right on the ballroom floor!
“Hey man, what’s your problem? Leave us alone” I shouted trying to hide the fear in my voice. My body began to quiver uncontrollably. Even though I was on the verge of peeing my pant, I was preparing myself to engage in some type of confrontation with this creep. Melanie had the grip of a pregnant women going into labor didn’t help my striking fear either. Suddenly the car window slowly rolled down. .
