"Turn!" They yelled at me as I followed orders.

It was odd being on the other side of the law. I couldn't hide behind my father's name any longer If he even would claim me as his own anymore. The flash broke my concentration.

"Turn!" They yelled once again as once more I listened.

I was beloved. In their eyes, I could do no wrong. But things have changed. They took the final picture of me as two police officer came into the photo room and grabbed handcuffed me.

"Come on, time to go to your cell." He escorted me out.

We passed multiple of criminals. The ones that make your skin crawl at night. Look at me, I'm short and weigh like a feather. I don't belong in a place like this. We passed through them all even a few empties ones until we reached the entrance.

"Where are we going?" I looked over at them both, waiting for an answer.

"They deem you unsafe to be kept in town. We are taking you to a secure area." He explained as the other didn't even look at me. …show more content…

Crazy to see the people you spend your whole life with can turn on you so quickly. The officer protected me from any physical altercation, yet they found ways to hurt me. They yelled in my face, yelling whatever offensive word they could say, yet I stared straight ahead with a blank face. They wanted a reaction out of me, but I couldn't let them have it.

    Officers abusing their power can range from taking bribes, choosing who they decide to let go and who to prosecute, and even abusing their power by molestation. In July of 2009 two Phoenix police officers lost their jobs after they stopped a bikini clad woman who had run from a rear end collision. The officers handcuffed her, drove her back to the accident scene to complete the paper work, and then drove her to elementary school where they knew that they would be alone. When they reached the school one of them fondled her breasts, abdomen, and buttocks while the other one watched and did nothing to help he...

  • Police Abuse of Discretion

    2736 Words  | 6 Pages

    “But they didn't have to beat me this bad. I don't know what I did to be beat up." Rodney King, March 3, 1991. Police Brutality has been a long lasting problem in the United States since at least 1903 when police Captain Williams of the New York Police Department said the phrase, "There is more law at the end of a policeman's nightstick than in a decision of the Supreme Court." In the 1920's the Wichersham Commission had a number of instances of police brutality. Many of these included the use of the "third degree" (beating to obtain a confession). This is a very effective way to get a confession out of somebody. However, beating the accused could easily elicit a confession from a scared and innocent person. Also, this puts the accused person's life in danger. Police officers must make snap life and death decisions daily. Officers' work in an environment where death (theirs, their partners, and an innocent or guilty person) is one decision away. How does that constant fear effect an officer's perception? Unfortunately, many that are attracted to law enforcement are aggressive and prone towards violence as a solution. Police officers have a lot of power. With this power comes responsibility. Police brutality can be defined as the excessive or unreasonable use of force in dealing with citizens, suspects and offenders.

    Just because you shouldn’t be arrested for expressing your “disrespectful, discourteous, and annoying” words and opinions towards an officer doesn’t mean he or she still won’t arrest you for doing so. You may recall that the tragic arrest of Sandra Bland in Texas only came after the officer perceived her as being disrespectful. And just because you have the right to mouth-off to a cop doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do in a given

    They sat us down on the curb and began asking us if we were allowed to be out at 11:30 and what we were doing at this time of night. We repeatedly told them that we had permission from our parents to be out and that we were doing nothing wrong. The officers were convinced we were doing some kind of illegal activity. They asked us if we were egging houses, meeting up with girls, smoking weed, and why we ran when we saw the police car. We told them that we were waiting for our friends and that we ran because we couldn’t recognize the police markings or who the person pulling up was. The officers told us to cancel our plans with our friends, called our parents, and forced us to go straight home.

A lady in there was in the middle of dying her hair a bright red so it smelled strongly of ammonia, another lady was homeless and caught stealing shampoo from a CVS, while another was sitting huddled in the corner, shaking immensely coming down from her drugs; while I sat there, my mind silent. The whole night consisted of moving tank to tank, fingerprints, mugshots. Around 5 am everyone sat in a room waiting to be called before the judge. Still sitting in silence, I waited while the girl next to me kept falling asleep on my shoulder. I tried to discretely move away but was stuck between her and some black guy. Thankfully I was up
