Hello everyone, a woman called 911 in need of help after her ex-boyfriend tried to knock down her door. The man later placed his car in front of her drive way, so she could not get out. The operator then said that they could not do anything about it, so they transferred her to another police department. The reason that they did not help is because of the budget cuts regarding public safety. In August of 2012, the woman called for help after her violent ex-boyfriend appeared at her front door. Hence, she was transferred to state police because the local sheriff’s department did not have full time staff, however she did not receive help from them either. Henceforth, her ex-boyfriend entered her home and sexually assaulted her. What is your perspective about the budget cost associated with the cuts within the criminal justice system which has resulted in less security measures etc.? What measure should be implemented to address sexual assaults? Please note the video link in pasted below for you to review at your leisure. The url is noted below as it relates to the 911 video for you all to view prior to posting your perspective. http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/05/30/oregon-woman-raped-after-911-call-goes-unanswered

Re: Week four; September 16-20, 2013. Jose Sanchez 5th period.

Hello everyone, welcome to week four of our fantastic blogging. Hence, I would like to share with you all my noted topic for the week. It was noted on September 20, 2013 in Central Florida police officers were called to Shellie Zimmerman’s home; she reported that her husband George Zimmerman had pointed a firearm at her as well as her father. Shellie Zimmerman informed police she had filed for a divorce weeks prior to this incident. Hence, police officers believe this was the primary reason George Zimmerman confronted his wife Shellie Zimmerman and her father when he pulled a pistol and pointed it in their direction. Based on George Zimmerman continued misjudgments/ misuse of firearms e.g. pointing and threatening his wife as well as father do you think the jury missed the warning signs when they acquitted George Zimmerman in July for shooting and killing an unarmed teenager? Do you agree or disagree why or why not? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/09/george-zimmerman-gun-incident-florida-trayvon-martin/2788443/

Extra, Extra, Read all about it!!!!! Hello everyone, as I was viewing the news I was intrigued by an event which involve an individual impersonating a police officer. I was appalled, in this day and time how one cannot distinguish the difference between police officer and an imposter posing as a police officer. Nonetheless, Miami police are looking for victims of 26-year-old Luis Fumero, who is accused of impersonating a police officer. It was noted Fumero robbed elderly victims and illegal immigrants. Fumero was arrested on August 20, 2013 and faces several charges including armed robbery and falsely impersonating an officer. Police said they have at least three cases against Fumero possibly more. Do you think laws should be stricter as it relates to police uniforms being accessible to the public? Why or Why not? What do you think would be a reasonable sanction for individuals impersonating police officers?
