Khalif Browde is a young African American man who was arrested at the age of 16 for allegedly stealing a backpack.

The Police officers were responding to a 911 call that alleged that two black guys had stole a guys backpack. Browder and his friend were verbally confronted by officers about the accusation. Browder replied to the officers that he did not rob anyone and to check his pockets. The two young men were both searched , but officers failed to find the backpack or the contents of a camera, cash, a credit card or an iPod touch. Officer Roberto Bautista, who is a mexican immigrant, responded to the 911 call regarding a robbery of a backpack. After the officers fail to find anything on the two young men, Bautista taking a seat in the squad car came back and confronted the two young men of robbing him two weeks ago.

I notified dispatch that Officer Albert and I were out at the RSC. I parked our patrol car on the north side of the RSC and entered the north door. I heard Officer Smith on the radio say he was out with the subject near the Credit Union. I observed from across the RSC Officer J. Smith and Officer R. Faison standing next to a black male all the way by the Book Store. As I walked closer, I could see the black male with both of his hands up in the air and he was getting down on both of his knees.

Officer Faison kept trying to talk to the subject but he was clearly ignoring him. The subject who was later identified as

Law enforcement in today’s time is known for discrimination and brutality. However, there are times when the police are known to even wrongfully arrest, try, and convict those who have not committed any crimes. Even though law enforcement and the legal system may seem like a secure and infallible entity/force, those that serve the justice system are not always serving justice. The case of Sean K. Ellis is a case of mistaken arrest. Ellis was arrested for the murder of a Boston police officer, convicted, and approximately served 22 years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. The topics of racial bias, credibility of witnesses, exclusion/lack of evidence, and police corruption, are the some of the factors that affected Ellis’s case.

In 1973, Las Fuerzas Armadas de Chile staged a coup against President Salvador Allende, which led Latin America to one of the bloodiest and violent takeovers it had ever seen. President Salavador Allende served two terms and was known for being a Marxist, socialist, and communist. Because he was communist, it brought a cause for concern to the United States, who was greatly opposed to that form of government. The CIA even tried to help Allende's opposing candidates win in hopes that Chile wouldn't become a Communist country, but their plan was unsuccessful. The two candidates, whom Allende beat, made up over 60% of the peoples votes, which were all in opposition to the Popular Unity government system that Allende put into place (Chasteen, 2006).
Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. From the great mathematician Al-Khwarizmi, who did much to establish the mathematical tradition we now know as algebra, to Ibn Sina, a pioneer of early medicine whose Canon of Medicine was still in use as recently as the 19th century, he pieces together a remarkable story of the often-overlooked achievements of the early medieval Islamic scientists.
Khalil Abdellatif participated in three sports actively during his time in elementary and middle school. Khalil played soccer, baseball, and basketball during his time afterschool and weekends. Khalil’s father thought it would be a great idea to play sports because he was never exposed to many sports as a child due to his parent’s belief towards them. Additionally, Khalil’s father thought it would be a great incentive to be active. Khalil would be exposed to sports no matter which season of the year it was. Aside from school, sports would be the only thing Khalil really focused on.

Ahmad Shah Massoud was one of the most brilliant and fearless military minds that has lived in the modern era. The Lion of Panjshir, as Massoud was sometimes referred to as, managed to provide some light in a country that was overcome by darkness. In Afghanistan, the Taliban ruled with harsh authority. However, they did not control all of Afghanistan. Ahmad Shah Massoud’s forces were able to take control of places in the West and in the Panjshir Valley. Massoud’s forces were what the only thing keeping the Taliban from controlling all of Afghanistan (Gail Stewart 88).
After the removal of Bucaram, President of Congress Fabian Alarcon, served as Interim President until the presidential elections of July 1998. The main contender to win the elections that year was Jamil Mahuad, candidate of the DP-UDC alliance (People’s Democracy and Christina Democratic Union). Mahuad had served as mayor of Quito from 1990 to 1996 and it was through this post that Mahuad first gained national attention. As mayor of the capital, most Ecuadorians liked Mahuad for the responsible and organized manner with which he directed the office. For this reason, Mahuad was seen as a candidate that would bring back prestige to the presidential palace. Moreover, Mahuad gained support from his platform aimed at improving Ecuador’s economic and social conditions after a decade of inactivity.
