Clara Wang voices her opinion that Asian-Americans are frustrated with “the lack of accountability for white police officers” in her article “Policing the USA”. Wang begins by explaining that Peter Liang, an Asian-American police officer in New York, shot and killed an unarmed black man and was convicted of second-degree manslaughter. She continues on to point out that Asian-Americans are not protesting the verdict, they are protesting the fact that many white police officers that found themselves in similar circumstances, were “let off”. Wang then provides numerous statistics about Asian-Americans that provide an image showing how underrepresented they are for their population. She then ties this to the fact that Liang was “singled out” because “white officers” have committed this type of crime with little to no punishment. Wang provides examples of white officers that committed such crime and got off “scot-free”. Wang finishes up talking about the “expectation of our silence” on the subject of white officers not being “accountable” because Asian-Americans are supposed to be the “silent minority”. By shining a light on the event Wang feels like she is unsilencing her minority. …show more content…
I believe that police that commit these kind of crimes should be punished, however, like Wang stated, why begin with a minority to set an example? I feel that Wang’s frustration is justified because of the fact that white officers have gotten away with these kind of crimes while Liang, who is a minority, gets a severe
frame work for the government we know today. A government of the people, by the people, and for the people; constructed of three branches; each branch charged with their own responsibilities. Article one established the Congress or Legislative branch, which would be charged with legislative powers. Article two created the Executive branch, providing chief executive powers to a president, who would act in the capacity of Commander in Chief of the Country’s military forces. The President of the United
public safety and still keeping “law and order”. In my paper I want to take a deep look at how law enforcement dealt with natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, and at their positive and negative impacts on our society. By looking through the article, journals and books I came to know that during Hurricane Katrina, law enforcement agencies were not well prepared to handle it. During natural disasters the most important part of law enforcement agencies is to be aware of pre-disaster planning as
technique, method or/and process and at this point according to Pfeffer and Sutton(2006) evidence rescue them to decide which one is the right one. This essay, focusing on this respect, will be a critical reading and analysis of strengths and weaknesses to Rousseau’s (2006) article on ‘Is there such a thing as “Evidence –Based Management”. This essay will first introduce how if evidence based management helps managers. Secondly, it will analyze Rousseau’s repeatedly references to the development
measures from the law and health sectors. According to the WHO, the rate of police suicide is alarming; for instance, it was realized that 140 New York City police committed suicide in 2008. However, there are still those who went unreported. The analysis of the rates of police suicide has gone high compared to other years. This shows how the health department and law enforcement department have to find ways to reduce the main causes of these deaths. In South Africa, for instance, since 2000 to 2006
After reading his article, one will conclude that Chang is rather awestruck from what hip hop has done for the world. Chang demonstrates this when discussing how “thousands of organizers from Cape Town to Paris use hip-hop in their communities to address environmental justice, policing and prisons, media justice, and education” (Chang, 60). Therefore, it is clear that Chang would describe global hip
five stages has a regulatory system, an operative system, and a distributive system. Social control becomes an issue as a population and its functions grow. Thus, the society must put in place a regulatory system, which is usually in the form of a policing agency or a government. The operative system is the next to emerge. This is the management part of the society, which handles the production of goods and keeps all of the parts moving together smoothly. Finally, the distributive system forms.
obviously does not judge many of these stories to be newsworthy although they are aware of them through the news wires from those countries (which is how I know about them). In Singapore when executions were reported, they typically only made a small article and aroused very little public interest. Most Singaporeans however firmly support the government hard line on crime and punishment. During the late 70's and early 80's when executions were rare in America, every execution, by whatever means, attracted
INTERNET CENSORSHIP Censoring the Internet The internet offers a huge wealth of information both good and bad, unfortunately the vary nature of the internet makes policing this new domain practically impossible. The internet began as a small university network in the United States and has blossomed into a vast telecommunications network spanning the globe. Today the internet is ruled by no governing body and it is an open society for ideas to be developed and shared in. Unfortunately every society
CHAPTER 4 TIGER CONSERVATION INTRODUCTION “The Indian tiger has been the centre of attraction in the Indian jungles, as a big fame, during the last two centuries. Apart from Maharajas and Nawabs who had interest in hunting of tigers, the British officers, soldiers and civil officers were all keen on bagging at least one tiger before they retired. A few of them attempted to score a century of tiger heads and succeeded. Some even repeated the performance as many as 10 times, thus massacring over a
The Censorship of Art While the censorship of art is not a new phenomenon, recent years have witnessed renewed and intensified attempts to control popular culture. In particular, rap and rock music have come under increasing attack from various sides representing the entire left and right political spectrum, purportedly for their explicit sexual and violent lyrical contents. In this paper is investigated which moral codes underlie these claims against popular music, how social movements mobilize
