You are a Member of Congress representing your state. A
Special Advisory Meeting has been called to discuss domestic
violence in the United States. Over the past few years and
recently, abuse and killings of unarmed citizens by law
enforcement officers (police and jail personnel) has been on the
rise. The media is having a field day, public opinion is
controversial, and you have made sure you do not find yourself
in a position for or against the turmoil. Because of due process,
Civil Rights, federalism, political behavior, trials and riots it
has cost the federal and state government (taxpayers) additional
monies to protect local communities by calling in the help of
the National Guard and state police. In your state, interest
groups are lobbying for you to take action to support the
passing of gun laws and your constituents refuse to give you
any more money for your campaign and vote you out of office if
this happens in your state. Questions:
1.
What can the Congress do to address this issue?
2.
Do you think the government has done enough to date?
3.
Recommend two (2) strategies with examples to prevent an
outbreak of violence in your state.
4.
If you had to make a statement today regarding the Ferguson
trial, what would it be?
Your response and the discussion cannot be based on personal
opinions, racial profiling, gender, etc. but your position as a
Congressman for your state.
