Sperber, Murray, Shake Down the Thunder: The
Creation of Notre Dame Football. Henry Holt and

team that many want to lose. He is very partisan
in the fact that he wishes for the reader to get
the whole story of the creation of a team that
would be a major factor in the history of
football. It is all about Americas ability to love

the actual implementation of the sentence, the
legal process is riddled with violent acts and
interpretations. In this essay, I will argue that
if the use of violence by police officers is
primarily a racial issue. I will also show that if
limits on police force are not well defined, they
