Recommended: Effects of hunting regulations

“Cops in Kansas gave a fine to a little boy from Topeka because he sang the alphabet on the streets at night.” Some laws are so weird. There are many ridiculous regulations in Kansas. Did you know in Topeka, it is illegal to sing the alphabet on the streets at night? Also according to dumblaws.com, “Rabbits may not be shot from motorboats.”
You also aren’t allowed to hunt whales in Kansas. That law may sound like it makes sense, right? But, Kansas is slapped in the middle of the U.S. And there are no oceans in the middle of the U.S. Yeah, it’s weird. You also aren’t allowed to use mules to hunt ducks. Really!? According to idiotlaws.com, “No dead animals or garbage may be hauled across Kansas Avenue.” Also, it is against the law to scream,

  • The Kennesaw Gun Ordinance

    530 Words  | 2 Pages

    The 1982 Kennesaw gun ordinance is a law that is known around the world as the city that requires everyone to own a gun. The Kennesaw City Council passed a law ordering that each household within the city limits own a gun. Over decades, this law has become unenforceable but with the city’s reputation of this gun ordinance, it seems that crime rates are lower than any other city in the country. A councilman, J.O. Stephenson spoke of the ordinance after it was passed, “People went crazy. People all over the country said there would be shootings in the street and violence in homes. Of course, that was not the case” (Gun Ownership- It’s The Law In Kennesaw). In reality, the city’s crime rates plummeted. Kennesaw State University is not within the city limits of Kennesaw, but when the law passed, the crime statewide dropped 10 percent benefiting the University.

    Police Brutality                  Police work is dangerous.  Sometimes police put in situations that excessive force is needed.  But, because some officers use these extreme measures in situations when it is not, police brutality should be addressed. The use of excessive force may or may not be large problem, but it should be looked into by both the police and the public.                  For those people who feel racism is not a factor in causing the use of excessive force, here is a startling fact.  In Tampa Bay, Florida, five men died while in the custody of the

    702 Words  | 2 Pages

    We must take actions to reform police behavior! The problem is not the police nor the people of the United States, but the Federal Government system in which we all have to abide by. In order for a police reform to be implemented, the system has to be fixed and reconstructed. The people of the United States want to feel protected by the police, but on the other hand, they receive limited training on how to effectively interact with the people in the community they serve. Police officers are ordained by the power of the government. Police reform should start by giving proper training to new recruits and veterans, enforcing community policing and police accountability.

    What is the purpose of police officers? Are they here to provide safety for the people or are they here to just mess up their lives? All around the country the statement “protect and serve” can be seen on any police vehicle and any police building. But more often times than not the question arises, who are they truly protecting? Themselves or the helpless citizens of The United States of America. Over the past century crimes rates have sky rocketed; although these crimes are not being committed by your everyday criminals they 're being committed by the police officers that are suppose to be protecting the people.

  • Unjustified Traffic Stops: A Breach of Civil Rights

    It is especially prominent when a police officer pulls someone over for someone that is not even against the law, which leaves the citizens confused one what they did wrong. If the officer can not prove that what they pulled them over for was against the law, then they should let the people go immediately. Sadly, the police officer did find something, “a bag of cocaine” (Iannacci). This is the worst part, because a lot of the times the officers end up finding something and the way they found it is never taken into consideration. The officer pulled these people over for a broken tail light, which in the state of North Carolina, is okay as long as one is working. What is not mentioned is that “In the absence of any other facts indicating criminal

    Police violence remains a dire human right violation, especially in the United States. Over the last decade, police have applied force and aggression in ways that leave people wondering if they are discharging their duties. Recently, law enforcement seems to have taken a different turn characterized by aggression and violence when dealing with the public. Cases of unjustified shootings, physical assault, fatal chokings and violent treatment have contributed to the ongoing problem of police brutality in the America. Worse still is the fact that a greater proportion of these cases go unreported and undetected. This has partially encouraged violent police officers to continue applying force when dealing with the public. This new law enforcement

    It is sad to say that the killing of Walter Scott by Officer Slager is all too familiar. Every time we turn around there is a black man, black woman, black little girl, or a black little boy that is being gunned down by those who are supposed to protect us. I read somewhere online that in the past five years there have been two hundred police shootings in the state of South Carolina, seventy of them resulted in deaths, and none of the officers were found guilty. We must stop the violence of our people, especially by those who are supposed to protect and save us. We have to stop sitting and waiting on decisions, and go demand them ourselves. It is necessary that we keep our young black men and women out of the streets and prison systems and

    Police Brutality is a current problem that exist within the United States that needs to be resolved immediately. The old childhood game “cops and robbers” is no longer just a playful game. Children no longer get excited about being either the cop or the robber in this innocent game. Now children fear playing this harmless game because police are mistakenly accusing children’s play guns to be real. This results in police officers killing innocent and unarmed children over false assumptions. Police are trained to shoot to kill, not disable. This is why so many innocent minorities are dying yearly. Police brutality needs to be put to a stop so police remember whom their paid to serve and protect – not themselves, but our communities.

    A person experiences violence regardless of his or her geographical location. Violence is catastrophic, toxic and dramatically impactful on a community. Violence is a product of misbehavior and lack of emotional outlets. People bring violence to the streets of Chicago because they believe that actions speak louder than words. People solve confrontation on the streets with the pull of a trigger rather than taking a minute to talk it out. Many Chicagoans have become numb to the headlines that read- “40 shot and 4 killed this weekend” or “She didn’t have a chance.” Chicagoans shake their heads and scoff, while saying “There goes another one.” How could traumatic events become ordinary? Community members continuously march for justice and peace in their neighborhoods while city officials create new programs and jobs to keep young

    On Tuesday, September 23rd, I had the opportunity to do a ride along with the Takoma Park police department. My ride along was quite interesting. I rode with Officer Carl, a twenty-six-year-old officer who has been with the police department for six months. During the ride along we engaged in so many conversations concerning his work routine, and some the important things to be aware of as a police officer. Officer Carl and I were about the same age group so I felt much comfortable talking to him. Before I went for the ride along I had a different perspective about police work, I thought police work was much amusing and entertaining, but after the ride along with Officer Carl, I have realized that there is much more to police work and it often

  • Persuasive Essay On Being A Police

    1479 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many things come to mind when the word police is said aloud. When asked, one person provided the words “protection, and law”, while another simply stated “pigs”. We’ve all formed opinions on the police whether it be positive or negative based off of what we see in the news, hear from others, and from our own personal experience. The politically correct definition of police is “the civil force of a national or local government, responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public order”. In the United States of America, the police have made a lasting impact on the public’s view of them most of which is unpleasant. What we forget however, is that the police are formed of individuals who set out to keep us safe and do good. Police officers do not wake up in the morning with the urge to kill a civilian and abuse the power they hold. They get up in morning ready to go to work and carry out their jobs like every other person does.
