Laissez Faire Middle Aged
1,551 wordsThe last time the World Trade Organization had a major meeting, it was in Singapore, and now we know why. Singapore, of course, is the city-state that accords near-perfect freedom to banks and corporations while jailing political activists and caning messy tenants and people who chew gum in public. When WTO ministers gathered in Singapore in 1997, their business was unimpeded by any outside agitators. (Or, for that matter, any internal dissidents: Advocates for worker rights or environmental sta...

(Washington Post, Jan 18, 1993: p. 11) When cities enlarge their police forces quickly in response to public fears about crime, it can also mean an influx of younger and less well-suited officers. That was a major reason for the enormous corruption scandal that hit Miami in the mid- 1980 s, when about 10 % of the city's police were either jailed, fired or disciplined in connection with a scheme in which officer...

Bob Dylan Black Man
939 wordsOn July 17, 1966, in Paterson, NJ, Rubin Hurricane Carter was contending for the heavyweight boxing title, when, one night, he was pulled over and suspected of a murder. There was no evidence or witnesses to prove the Hurricane guilty, but the cops needed somebody to blame; so they fixed the trial, and Rubin received the short end of the stick. He was put away for life for a crime he didnt commit. This is a true story. The song was written by Bob Dylan to bring Rubin's situation to the public. R...

They were in connection with a scheme in which officers robbed and some-times killed cocaine smugglers on the Miami River, then resold the drugs. Many of those involved had been hired when the department had beefed up quickly after the 1980 riots and the Mariel boat lift. "We didn't get the quality of officers we should have, says department spokesman Dave Mag...

That right there, kind of pissed me off because I was having a really good dream. I usually never have good dreams; the dreams usually consist of me getting the shit kicked out of me, or some really bad tragedy where I lose my family. But there is nothing that I can do about this, so I got up and had some cereal. While I was eating breakfast, the phone rang. Michael, Travis,...

Black And White Maltese Falcon
2,037 wordsThe Maltese Falcon In my opinion, The Maltese Falcon is the best example of the detective story of the early years of XX century, which was followed by the creation of movie. Written in 1930, The Maltese Falcon creates its own rules and style for detective fiction. It was a groundbreaking book, offering up a style of writing that most had not seen before. Hammett wrote as if everyone wanted to talk: smooth, assured, and witty. He wrote with a graceful masculinity that made being bad beautiful. H...

Rose Of Sharon Make A Living
3,911 wordsThe Grapes of Wrath James D. Zook Chapter 1 In the beginning of the chapter the book Steinbeck discusses the earth. It tells how dry the soil is and how even walking stirred up a dust cloud. It tells how the people have adapted such as wearing mask and goggles to protect the air they breathe. The people were devastated by the dust storms that block out the sun and the stars. The land is dry and cracked, the crops are withered and dieing; much like the peoples spirits.

Police Brutality Police Misconduct
896 wordsIt has been discussed in many public circles whether or not the N. Y. P. D. should or should not be monitored by the Justice Department. Many feel that some of the recent cases of brutality and corruption have warranted some sort of intervention by the Government. I believe that we should be opposed to a federal monitor. To be constantly watched over by a body such as the Justice Department, would be demoralizing to all of the officers. As we know, police moral in the N. Y. P. D has not always b...

I look down at the dashboard, which is covered with beer cans (there? s no bottles because they always end up finding their way out the window and onto signs and other objects), various coins, and assortments of waste products. Directing my gaze away from the hideous sigh...

Police Officers Rodney King
1,469 wordsAs Robert Cover established in his essay, Violence and the Word, violence is an integral aspect of legal practices. From the arresting officer s use of force, to the sentence a judge passes down, to 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 will lead t...
