recent police brutality, law homework help

Police violence in America has been a hot topic as of late given
some very serious incidents that garnered the nation’s attention. Unjustified
shootings, severe beatings, fatal chokings, and rough treatment of offenders
have caused the public-at-large to scrutinize the activities of police officers
– and question their authority – like never before. The ability of the public
to digitally record these incidents in real time has exasperated the problem.
This enhanced scrutiny has caused officers to hesitate to utilize an
appropriate level of force when confronting potentially dangerous situations.
There is some concern that the anxiety officers currently face could
potentially compromise their safety.

Choose a high profile police violence incident that received
extensive media coverage. Do not simply give a synopsis of the case!
 Instead, discuss some unique ethical dilemmas related to the case – and
the potential ethical issues relating to the aftermath of the incident – i.e.,
overarching implications upon the field of criminal justice, implications
related to the public’s perception of criminal justice professionals, etc.

Donotpost your paper in this discussion
area.  Post it in your LEO assignments folder.

Please note:
I never penalize students for exceeding the assignment standards set
forth in the syllabus, so feel free to expand upon your ideas.  I realize
some professors penalize students for going above and beyond,  (i.e.,
exceeding a certain number of pages, words, sources, etc.), but I do not take
this approach.  In fact, students who hope to receive an “A”
oftentimes find it necessary to exceed the standards referenced in the
syllabus.
