The Rookie Cop

On Being a Cop is a completely new breed of a book because it wasn’t intended to be a book. The origin of the book started out as a rookie cop writing emails about his workday to his father—who is also a higher ranking cop in the same department.

police report and is not doing a good job. His officer was disappointed at what he had read in his report; he’s going to show the rookie how it’s done. The officer’s report was not only 50% longer, but full of jargon. The rookie cop stated, “Why do we write like that?” “Because that’s the way we’ve always done it,” replied the officer. After years of being a cop and writing real police reports, Rutledge became a prosecutor. After numerous trails, Rutledge was still boggled at the way police

police seem trustworthy.ii The rookie prosecutor unquestioningly believes that “the defendants wouldn't be here if they weren't guilty,” and this “Young Prosecutors' Syndrome” can heighten the risk of a wrongful conviction.iii It can lead an attorney to approach each file with a standardized view, focusing on the need to punish everyone.iv Inspired by a cops-versus-robbers perspective, a rookie prosecutor often wants to “prosecute the hell out of everyone.”v

Ethical standards for an agency begins with leadership, with the common practice of crimes not being investigated, the entire neighborhood not trusting any of the police officers and the only way to deal with the citizens is by threatening, blackmail or scaring them is not going to positively influence how the public interacts with officers.

story of a rookie cop who has his mind set on a goal. Alonzo, (Denzel Washington), a veteran cop who can get him there. The movie follows the cop duo, which feels like End of Watch, and both movies have the same writer. Training Day is action-packed, and makes you think because it sends a message to the audience and the character. I like this movie too because it asks the audience what’s right and what’s wrong. I would also like to mention that everyone is crooked, yet Jake (the rookie cop)is honest

Subculture and Video Reflection “Somebody didn’t sleep through ethics training” (Ayer and Fuqua, 2001). This statement made by an officer in the movie Training Day, best exemplifies a major theme of the movie. Training Day should be shown to rookie officers as an example of how a police subculture can allow officers to abuse power. The movie is an over exaggeration, but provides depth and detail into certain situations officers may find themselves in. This paper will look at the specific concepts

“Southern Cop”, Sterling Brown articulates the clear and blatant racism in southern society, and their attempts to hide and deny that it even exists. The poem is about a police officer who shoots an unidentified black male, without reasonable cause to do so. Brown sarcastically mocks society and the excuses that they try to make for the cop’s inexcusable action. Finally, Brown convicts the cop through these excuses, and shows all of the truly terrible things that he had done. Southern Cop is a very
