Think about today's relationship between the citizenry and local public agencies (STATE OF ALABAMA). Do you believe the discourse has taken on a more positive or negative tone? Why? Provide examples to support your reasoning. ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTION AND THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 200 WORDS or MORE EACH) CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE If you go into the City of Milwaukee, it is a mess with shootings of young children, senseless auto deaths and just things that simply go against my grain. The Mayor has gained the 2020 Democratic Convention for Milwaukee through crazy spending habits for things that won't benefit the City as a whole and has his head in the sand when issues of lead in drinking water laterals, huge uptick of opioid deaths (15 in the city in one day) and homelessness. He claims he is going to have all of that cleaned up by the time the convention comes to town. My fear is he is going to shift the problems to other surrounding communities. There are several activist groups that are constantly pounding on the Mayor's door and for the most part the Mayor spends a great time in parody of the local newspaper as well as online articles. We had a couple police officer involved deaths where one person was cognitively challenged and attacked the police officer that stopped to wake him from sleeping in a public area. Big marches were organized by the dead person's family, which later came to light that the same family through the dead person out of the house because he was too much of a hassle to deal. Then ended up profiting from his death in wrongful death lawsuits. So, there was a great deal of negativity going on and some officials lost their elected seats as well as the police officer lost his job although the court cleared him. There were positives as much as negatives, over the last year we lost 3 police officers and a fire lieutenant due to fatal gunfire from people at the scene. That brought the city together. Since then, Milwaukee has experienced several fatal and non-fatal shooting of young innocent bystander kids. The community has finally grown tired of this and are now cooperating with police in capturing these people. At one time, a shooter could get lost in the city that knows everyone. Those days have gone by. My question always is, why does there have to be several tragedies happen for people to say enough is enough? I grew up in a different era where the establishment was question but authority or others were still respected. Where did that go? .

June 12, 2020 Congressional Democrats want to make it easier to identify and prosecute police misconduct; Joe Biden wants to give police departments $300 million. But efforts to solve police violence through liberal reforms like these have failed for nearly a century. Enough. We can’t reform the police. The only way to diminish police violence is to reduce contact between the public and the police. There is not a single era in United States history in which the police were not a force of violence against black people. Policing in the South emerged from the slave patrols in the 1700 and 1800s that caught and returned runaway slaves. In the North, the first municipal police departments in the mid-1800s helped quash labor strikes and riots against the rich. Everywhere, they have suppressed marginalized populations to protect the status quo. So when you see a police officer pressing his knee into a black man’s neck until he dies, that’s the logical result of policing in America. When a police officer brutalizes a black person, he is doing what he sees as his job. Now two weeks of nationwide protests have led some to call for defunding the police, while others argue that doing so would make us less safe. The first thing to point out is that police officers don’t do what you think they do. They spend most of their time responding to noise complaints, issuing parking and traffic citations, and dealing with other noncriminal issues. We’ve been taught to think they “catch the bad guys; they chase the bank robbers; they find the serial killers,” said Alex Vitale, the coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College, in an interview with Jacobin. But this is “a big myth,” he said. “The vast majority of police officers make one felony arrest a year. If they make two, they’re cop of the month.” We can’t simply change their job descriptions to focus on the worst of the worst criminals. That’s not what they are set up to do. Second, a “safe” world is not one in which the police keep black and other marginalized people in check through threats of arrest, incarceration, violence and death. I’ve been advocating the abolition of the police for years. Regardless of your view on police power — whether you want to get rid of the police or simply to make them less violent — here’s an immediate demand we can all make: Cut the number of police in half and cut their budget in half. Fewer police officers equals fewer opportunities for them to brutalize and kill people. The idea is gaining traction in Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeles and other cities. History is instructive, not because it offers us a blueprint for how to act in the present but because it can help us ask better questions for the future.

For this IP, you will have the choice of addressing ONE of two significant events described below. Event 1 The 1960s was a very turbulent decade as the civil and voting rights movements provoked many marches and demonstrations causing citizens to have numerous clashes with local law enforcement. One historical event was Bloody Sunday on March 7, 1965, which involved peaceful minority marchers with police and was televised across the nation. The marchers were attempting to walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama when they were met by police, and it eventually turned into a riotous situation with police using excessive force to stop the marchers. Before beginning this assignment, please watch the video by clicking on the link below. Once the page loads, click on the link titled Video: Bloody Sunday . Bloody Sunday Video Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 3–5 pages: Discuss the key points of the Bloody Sunday incident. When and where did it occur? What happened during the incident, and why did it happen? Explain. What impacts did this event have on the relationship between the police and the community that they are sworn to protect? Explain in detail. How have events similar to Bloody Sunday affected modern police relationships? Explain. By today’s standards, what lessons learned have allowed police to be better equipped to handle situations that do not allow or call for use of force? Explain. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. Event 2 The 8 years of the Obama Administration and the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. presidential election was a very turbulent time, especially for police and community relations. Many police use-of-force incidents that occurred during this time period resulted in significant protests and riots. Reactions to such incidents were often based on emotions at the event; people did not wait for facts. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement came into existence, with other fringe groups such as Antifa (short for anti-fascists), complicating police–community relations. A BLM protest that had been peaceful turned tragically violent when a sniper shot and killed five Dallas police officers providing security for the BLM protestors. The suspect, a BLM sympathizer, was killed by Dallas PD when he was cornered in a parking structure. Other high-profile police murders were apparently motivated by strained police–community and race relations. Review the following videos and associated articles: BLM Video 1 BLM Video 2 Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 3–5 pages: Discuss the strained police–community relations of the time period of 2014–present. Why did strained relations come to be? What is the origin of BLM? What role, if any, do you think BLM played in the strained police–community relations? Identify and explain 1 other incident that appears to have been motivated by strained police–community relations. What role m.
