Alienated by a town he called his home, isolated by the same officials that were supposed to keep him safe, and abandoned by a justice system that was put in place to protect the innocent and condemn the guilty, Walter McMillan sits alone in his cell only to await his punishment for a crime he did not commit. This is a fatal flaw in the system that produces the exact opposite result of what is expected of them. We are trained to trust them in convicting the guilty criminals in order to keep ourselves and our communities safe. Sometimes, the innocent are penalized for the wrongdoings of others. Bryan Stevenson is a lawyer whose mission is to fix this problem when he hears of Walters case and believes he has been wrongfully accused of a …show more content…
The community should have kept to themselves and minded their own business instead of drawing harsh and unprecedented conclusions based on unrelated facts. Cheating has absolutely no correlation with murder. I understand that the citizens of Monroeville were eager to persecute because they were scared after the murder of a beautiful teen, but that is no excuse to accuse someone of a crime with no actual foundation of logic or facts. “Mercy” allowed me to draw the conclusion that even though we put law enforcement on a pedestal due to their power and authority, they are sinful humans just like the citizens. As much as we would like to think that the people we are entrusting with our lives are perfect beings that are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, that isn’t always the case. Politicians lie, some cops are racist, some of our political figures are corrupt. As I have tried to browse my brain for solutions regarding these problems, I have come up empty handed. It makes me wonder if any of his former coworkers noticed that he was corrupt. Did they agree with what he was doing? Did they not know what was going on? Did they notice and chose not to speak up? I know police corruption like this still happens in the present. As time goes on more and more police departments are being accused of abusing their power. For example, officers have been caught lying to protect other
To tackle the housing affordability, first of all, it is crucial to lift the supply of housing as it will release the pressure on the housing price. Nevertheless, the supply of housing is inelastic as it requires an adequate fund, time, approval from the Government. Besides, the housing system is heavily dependent on the private sector. Thus, the Government should provide initiatives for housing providers to shift the supply of houses in the market. Australia would follow the policies from other countries to tackle the housing affordability. However, it has to fit in the Australian context. These policies might work well in other places but it does not mean that it will be applicable in Australia. The Singapore Government has a public
Most commonly the police are viewed as be brutal and are associated with misconduct. Maybe you have heard about it, read about it and seen it on the media. Still the debate about police misconduct lingers on even today. Does it actually happen? Is it real or do people just blame the police for things they don’t deserve? Some people claim that the news and the media usually hype things up and give a wrong impression about the police. They argue that police misbehavior is only a problem to those who commit it. While it is not a problem with every police officer out there, police misconduct does happen, and it is very immoral.
Although police officers take an oath to protect and serve citizens in our society. we have some officers that our corrupt and willing do anything just to protect themselves from being exposed from their unethical behavior. In 1994 three officers from New Orleans police department committed an unspeakable crime murder for hire and a violent drug gang. The killing of Kim grove was thirty-two years old and was gunned down by police officer that were there to protect her instead they killed her.
The cases that are mostly seen worldwide with police corruption are due to drugs and drug trafficking. Police officers get involved with the “easy money” and believe the theory of “I will not get caught”; it is miserable and emotional to see the United States law enforcement get caught up in these cases. “In 2012, two corrupt cops joined forces with drug dealers and are now facing jail time; they put dozens of criminal cases in jeopardy. Officers Diaz and Patrick Mara admitted to ripping off drug dealers of their methamphetamine during traffic stops. This was the beginning to police corruption in Kern County.”(Richard Winton) The two police officers were corrupt since a while back. “They both pleaded guilty to their charge and got punished for it. Officer Diaz would not fully report the drugs they would find and instead would keep more than half. Officer Mara was caught selling methamphetamine to other individuals.” (Diaz and Mara admitted) Other cases they were involved in are now put under jeopardy and could possibly be missed charged. Cops should not allow such horrific thing to occur. If they know about a corrupt cop they should immediately report it. People and younger
Police officers are supposed to be professional as they represent our country. According to Burns, “Police misconduct is seen as hypocritical in the sense that society puts great trust in officers to enforce the law in a fair and just manner” (Burns, 2013). The community is trained to put trust in the police department; however, some officers are making it hard for individuals to trust them. When police corruption occurs it is to be stopped before hand to develop a better police force.
When something is said about a cop it usually goes one of two ways, either they are praised on the job they do or they are put down and called names. Police officers have been known to take bribes for illegal things. There is corruption all over the states, it is everywhere from Chicago to even Kansas. Police tactics are endangering civilian lives. Corruption is causing so much tension between civilians and officers.Even though a large quantity of officers are corrupt not all of them are, some do go above and beyond their duty and help their communities anyway they can. Not all police officers are corrupt, but the ones who are give a bad reputation to them all. It would help everyone if all cops could be trusted instead

It is often thought that police corruption cannot be predicted or that it just happens without notice, but there are many signs that can lead up to officers committing crimes.
The first criteria considered is energy efficiency in nuclear cleaning, change of state distillation, and reverse osmosis. The best technology, as judged by its energy efficiency, is the method with the lowest energy usage with the greatest yield of water.
I finished the last of my soylent supplements and threw them viciously into the trash can, I wiped off the leftover on my face and clawed my way for another bottle. I needed get filled up before we left , immediately after getting on the helicopter the whirring of the blades blew viciously in my frozen ears, it was cold. But still humid at the same time. Every time I tried spit out a sentence my voice got raspy and my mind got clouded with ugly thoughts of what was soon to come.
Men know deep down that a woman has emotions attached to an affair, whereas we believe we are detached from serious emotions when we do the exact same thing. If I could make Karen believe that I was capable of letting her grow as she saw fit and totally count on me to be supportive even at the risk of my personal feelings, she would ultimately be loyal to me. Or, at least loyal long enough for me to play house with her without too much emotional damage.
“Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul” - Unknown. I’ve never been to a privately owned motorcycle dealership before until a couple days ago. It was about 4 p.m. when my mom and I arrived at Valley V Twin in Indio, CA. Immediately the place looked like it was a brand new business. There were lots of motorcycles parked outside for customers to take a look at, the building looked like a rectangle with very little dimension to it, and it proudly displayed a banner with the company name on it. As we walked inside we saw two staff members on duty, a small showroom, a couple clothing racks, and a motorcycle accessories all around. This place did not look promising at all. In fact, it kind of looked intimidating as the staff
