Police are supposed to be there to protect and to serve us. Much has been said about blue lives mattering, and they certainly do. However, there is a reason why some people do not trust police officers. It is no secret that many lawmen are made quite bitter by their jobs and this can show in ways which are not only hurtful, but sadistically sardonic and cruel.
There are four Honolulu police officers who, according to Yahoo News, stand accused of humiliating a man by forcing him "to place his mouth on a urinal inside a public restroom." Thankfully, another officer was brave enough to not let this go unchecked and the offending parties are now in quite a bit of trouble over the disgusting matter. Their warrior mentality was on display for the

was contacted about the deed. The feds were included because this involves an "abuse of power" case.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said of this decision, "Although these officers are presumed innocent, we need an independent agency to investigate exactly what occurred and whether these officers engaged in civil rights abuses. Chief Ballard has promised to transform the Honolulu Police Department from a warrior mentality to a guardian mentality, and this is an approach to community policing that I wholeheartedly support."
All four of the alleged abusers were put on restrictive duty as the investigation moves onwards. The department has confirmed that each of the filthy four "have between three and 16 years of law enforcement experience."
We all know that creepy sexual predators and drug addicts often haunt bathrooms like ghosts and the police were, perhaps, just tired of dealing with such people. While this is understandable, it can not be tolerated on any level. Not only may the officers be wrong about why the person is acting as they are, but beyond that, it is not up to cops to dish out punishment when not
The novel Once a Warrior-- Always a Warrior, is a self-help book describing the effects and hardships of not only combat deployments, but the struggle of returning home following a combat deployment. The novel recognizes veterans who have deployed and left everything behind and returned with medical conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mTBIs and other conditions ranging from substance abuse to insomnia and addresses possible solutions to these issues. I want to look at a few things that I personally feel I could take away from the book and explain them.
The Warrior Ethos, by Steven Pressfield depicts the warrior’s mentality from ancient times to the present through a variety of different aspects and stories. In The Warrior Ethos, Pressfield states that men are not born with the certain qualities that make a good warrior, but instead are inculcated through years of training and indoctrination, stating at an early age. He shows how different societies have been able to instill the same or very similar ideals throughout history while maintaining their own unique characteristics. Things have changed from ancient Sparta, where parents would be enthusiastic about their children going to war, and even more elated upon learning they died valorous in battle. These days, most parents are a lot
Police officers are like guardian angels watching over the good people of the land, protecting them from danger.
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...
It is easy for police to get caught up in the idea that it is them against the rest of society (Barkan, 2012). Many citizens in today’s democratic society have a negative or fearful view of our law enforcement. Think back to grade school, who was that one kid in class that everyone was annoyed by or despised? Most people would answer the teacher’s pet or the tattletale. We have grown up from a young age to have a negative view towards those that get us into trouble when we think we can get away with something we know is wrong. In the adult world, the police force can equate to those tattletales.
"Relations between the police and minority groups are a continuing problem in many multiracial societies. Surveys consistently document racial differences in perceptions of the police, with minorities more likely than whites to harbor negative views." (Weitzer and Tuch, Race and Perceptions of Police Misconduct, 2004)
Restrictive Covenants In the situation described in this problem, a restrictive covenant would be the best way to protect the company's interests. Although the implied terms of employee confidentiality regarding company information would be valid in this case, they wouldn't stop an employee working with rivals. All doubt should be removed by the inclusion of a clause in which the employee undertakes not to carry on a particular trade or profession for a period after the termination of the contract. It would permit the company to seek a interim interdict in court against Dr MGleam and Ms Wilkes preventing them from breaching the covenant.
Klockars is correct when discussing, when only a dirty means will work. Departments must take some responsibility for the actions of the officers. Had the department trained the officers well? In many cases perfectly legal acts may produce the same results that, dirty ones do. This situation implies that the officers had no ideas as to how to conduct proper investigations, or they don’t understand the consequences for their actions, not only to them but the investigation, as the suspect will surely go free. But of course it is easy to preach from a classroom, those officers dealing with situations rely on instinct an...
Police brutality remains one of the most serious and divisive human rights violations in the United States. The excessive use of force by police officers persists because of overwhelming barriers to accountability. This fact makes it possible for officers who commit human rights violations to escape due punishment and often to repeat their offenses. Police or public officials greet each new report of brutality with denials or explain that the act was an aberration, while the administrative and criminal systems that should deter these abuses by holding officers accountable instead virtually guarantee them impunity (Williams 45).
I believe officers in law enforcement are here to serve and protect the citizens of this country. Although as I stated before I also believe that there are still a few that are bad. The majority of them are good. For any kind of change to begin a number of factors need to be involved. The citizens need to use fairness.
Ancient Greece has set the tone for the standard of how great sculptures were crafted. Therefore, a classic example of this form is the Fallen Warrior from the East Pediment, taken from the ruins of the temple of Aphaia. With its mythology and architectural styles, Ancient Greece has undoubtedly changed the way sculptures were made and still inspires many artists to this day.
"A policeman’s first obligation is to be responsible to the needs of the community he serves…The problem is that the atmosphere does not yet exist in which an honest police officer can act without fear of ridicule or reprisal from fellow officers. We create an atmosphere in which the honest officer fears the dishonest officer, and not the other way around.", -Frank Serpico.

I have respect for the police, and the job they do. Policemen are a selected few who do a dangerous job. Police have done many great things to help improve communities, help people during their off duty hours and stand strong in face of many fears. The police trying to enforce the law are on the streets in all types of weather. Instead of being at home with their families on holidays they are working to keep peace. Everyday, they step out in a world where violence is considered appropriate.
They think that once they put on the uniform and once they have the badge, they own everyone. Yes, police officers do rule a lot of things, but they are humans just like us. They are trying their best to help citizens and to keep everyone safe and out of danger. Police do give respect to others, even though they should give more respect to blacks, but numerous people do not give police the respect that they deserve. They do a lot of good things that get unrecognized but every little bad thing they do gets blown out of proportion. Yes they do, do some bad things that they should get big punishments for that they do not, but they do deserve the respect and they are just doing their
