Introduction and Alignment: Policing in the United States has changed over time.

Introduction and Alignment: Policing in the United States has changed over time. Today, law enforcement agencies and officers find themselves facing many new challenges in society. The challenges that these agencies and officers face today are significant and varied, depending upon the level (federal, state, or local). Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to: describe the issues and challenges facing the nation’s law enforcement departments. Resources: 1.) Read: Chapters 4-6 in your textbook 2.) Select: article from library Assignment Instructions: For this assignment, you will select an article covering police actions, functions or organization from the internet or the SNU Library. It can be from a news station, newspaper, etc. The article must be current (less than one month old). In your paper, include the following: write a 2-3 page analysis of the article. identify and describe two ways in which the article applies to Chapters 4-6 of the textbook, e.g. definitions, statistics, problems police face, etc. include a title page and a reference page, including citations for both your article and your textbook.

What is critical thinking? It is the ability to think rationally and clearly, understanding the logical connection between concepts and ideas. It requires you to be an active learner rather than just a passive recipient of knowledge and information. Critical thinking is a way of thinking about specific things at a specific time. It is not just the accumulation and recollection of facts that you can use in the same format down the line as you would with a grammar or multiplication table learned in elementary school. Critical thinking is an adaptive skillset that helps enable a way of thinking about whatever the issue/argument is so that you can arrive at the best possible conclusion/solution.
TASK:
You are required to write an original post of at least 250 words showing your critical analysis of the problem or issue presented. This is free writing, but your writing must be professional, and you are still required to properly use and cite at least 2 external sources in APA format and style (the textbook may count as one external source). After all, you cannot truly think critically without understanding the issue, and you cannot understand the issue without first gathering (accurate) information about it. Additionally, you are required to respond to at least 1 other student’s “mini” by providing constructive feedback in a respectful and professional manner.

ASSIGNMENT TOPIC: A QUESTION OF INTEGRITY
Read the following scenario carefully:
Sheryl Tucker twirled her hair between her fingers as she contemplated the keyboard. The Word document on her computer screen was a letter she had written to the chief of police and sheriff in the small southern jurisdiction in which she was the elected district attorney. Generally, she had a pretty easy life, as normally, there were no major cases that came across her desk other than the rare domestic homicide. Of smaller crimes, her county saw the standard assortment of assaults, burglaries, DWIs, and others that were usually plea bargained rather than taken to trial. Still, she had five prosecutors working under her, and the court was fairly active in the ordinary course of the week.
Today, however, her task was not ordinary, and she was trying to figure out how to navigate the waters of small-town politics and the law. Recently, a sheriff’s deputy and a city police officer had both been fired for lying. The sheriff’s deputy had lied on his job application about a prior arrest a dozen years before, and the city police officer had lied to the chief about a use-of-force incident that, unfortunately for him, had been captured on his dashboard camera. Both officers took their cases to arbitration as was their right, and in both cases, the arbitrator ruled that firing was too harsh a punishment, ordering that the officers be reinstated. She knew of these incidents because, in a town this size, everyone knew everything about everyone who was associated with the courthouse. The gossip mill was more effective than Access Hollywood in getting the news out, and the cases had been reported in the newspaper as well.
The letter on her screen informed the two law enforcement agencies that she no longer could or would prosecute any case for which either officer would have to testify as a witness for the prosecution. She explained that according to the Brady v. Maryland case, prosecutors are obligated to turn over exculpatory evidence to the defense when asked and that evidence of officer-witness credibility would be subject to a Brady motion. Defense attorneys could always say that the officer was lying on the stand because he had lied in the past. She saw no way that the officers could ever be testifying witnesses for her again, regardless of the case or their role. Yet she knew that the chief and sheriff would be stuck between a rock and a hard place because their budgets did not allow them to keep an officer to open doors or answer phones; they probably needed these guys out on the street. Still, she was bound by the law and her conscience; she knew that these two officers, because of their actions, were worthless to her as prosecution witnesses.
As she expected, the letter set off a whirlwind of consternation and anger. The sheriff put his deputy on suspension again and was trying to find a way to appeal the arbitration decision. In the meantime, the lawyer for the deputy was telling the press that he was going to sue Sheryl for interference with the contract and that she had no right to tell the sheriff that the deputy couldn’t testify, which was basically part of his job. “She doesn’t know how juries would react,” he said. “Her speculation is putting a man’s career in jeopardy.” The police chief basically said that he couldn’t afford to bench the officer and that he was still on patrol.
As luck would have it, the city police officer in question pulled over a man who was driving above the speed limit through the area on the interstate. The man consented to a search of his car, and the officer found drugs and drug paraphernalia in the pocket of a jacket on the back seat. The man was charged with possession with intent to sell because of the amount, and he was facing some pretty substantial prison time, so he wouldn’t plead, even for reduced prison time. His lawyer, who was from another town, had been in Sheryl’s office several times and made it clear he thought that he was above the caliber of the prosecutors he would be facing if the case went to trial. She knew the case hinged on the consent. The officer said the man consented to the search, and now the guy is saying he didn’t consent. If it were any other officer, Sheryl would have no problem taking the case to trial, knowing she’d get a conviction. Juries are almost always going to believe officers over drug-carrying defendants. The problem was that Sheryl had said she was not going to use this officer as a witness. If he couldn’t testify, she basically had no case.
There was another wrinkle in the case. Because the defense lawyer was from out of town, he was unaware of the officer’s past. Also, because he wasn’t quite as smart as he thought he was, he forgot to file a Brady motion, meaning that he didn’t ask for exculpatory information. Arguably, Sheryl was legally obligated to give him something only when he asked for it. Legally, she might be okay with keeping the information about the officer from the attorney. Ethically, she knew she probably ought to at least share it with him, if not drop the case entirely. On the other hand, she was only speculating that juries would not believe the officer because of his history—or they might not even care if he was lying since drugs were found. Sheryl also wondered how she would be perceived if she backtracked on what she had said in the letter and now decided to use the officer as a witness. Time was running out for her to decide; the trial was scheduled to begin, and she needed to submit the witness list.
Commentary: Nowhere is the old saying, “all politics are local,” truer than in small towns and cities. Lying and misrepresenting one’s credentials are viewed very negatively by law enforcement agencies, rendering a given officer ineffective and untrustworthy. In this case, the district attorney can legally keep certain information to herself that, ethically speaking, she should probably share with the defense attorney.
THE QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ANSWER IN YOUR “MINI”:
What is the prosecutor’s role in the criminal justice system?
Should you go to trial using the officer as a witness? If so, should you turn over the information about the officers to the defense attorney?
How do you think you will be perceived if you drop the case? How will you be perceived if you do use the officer as a witness?
Requirements: 250 words

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
At UT-Austin, as everyone knows, there is a two-track admissi

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
At UT-Austin, as everyone knows, there is a two-track admission system for incoming freshmen. (freshpersons? ?)
First is the “10% plan.” All students graduating in the top 10% of their class at a Texas public high school are guaranteed admission to Texas public universities, including UT. Because this automatic admission only applies to 75% of the incoming class, once that number (75% of the class) is reached, no more students are admitted through this path. At UT, there are so many applicants that for the 2023 entering class, only about the top 6% of students were automatically admitted under the “10% plan.”
The other 25% of the entering class are admitted under “Holistic Review.” This is the controversial part. Here’s what is considered under holistic review:
“The following items are considered during holistic review:
Class rank
Strength of academic background
Test scores
Record of achievements, honors, and awards
Special accomplishments, work, and service both in and out of school
Essays
Special circumstances that put the applicant’s academic achievements into context, including his or her socioeconomic status, experience in a single parent home, family responsibilities, experience overcoming adversity, cultural background, race and ethnicity, the language spoken in the applicant’s home, and other information in the applicant’s file
Recommendations (although not required)
Competitiveness of the major to which the student applies”
As you can see, race and ethnicity are included, among numerous other factors.
No one is admitted solely as a result of any one factor (even football), including race or ethnicity. It’s one factor that has been considered among many, as you can see above.
Opponents of their inclusion say race and ethnicity is not related to a student’s ability to succeed. “Admissions should be a purely merit-based process.”*
Others say “Schools should be able to consider everything about a student and their background and balance all characteristics of their entering freshman class according to what they think is best in their situation.”
In 2023 the Supreme Court handed down an earth-shaking decision in two cases consolidated to be considered together, Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina and Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College. The decision ended use of race and ethnicity in college admissions.
Here’s an article from SCOTUSBlog talking about these two cases.
In the case of affirmative action there’s an obvious and easy-to-defend answer: “Of course we shouldn’t consider race and ethnicity. Those don’t tell us anything about a person’s intelligence, persistence, character, etc. Why should skin color matter? Of course affirmative action is wrong. Even racist!”
But as H.L. Mencken is reputed to have said, “To every difficult question there is an answer that is easy, obvious, and wrong.”
Before you adopt a position one way or another, I really hope you’ll read the Students for Fair Admissions decision. It’s 237 pages long, though, so who’s really going to read it? At least, if you think affirmative action is desirable you should read the main opinion, which argues against it. If you think affirmative action is undesirable you should read the dissents, which argues that it is not only desirable, but essential.
Justice Sotomayor’s dissent, starting on page 140, argues, among other things, that race-conscious admissions policies are fully consistent with the Constitution. Justice Jackson’s dissent, starting on page 209, argues that we’ve had race-conscious admissions throughout our history. But they’ve largely excluded Black applicants.
Justice Jackson writes:
“Imagine two college applicants from North Carolina, John and James. Both trace their family’s North Carolina roots to the year of UNC’s founding in 1789. Both love their State and want great things for its people. Both want to honor their family’s legacy by attending the State’s flagship educational institution. John, however, would be the seventh generation to graduate from UNC. He is White. James would be the first; he is Black. Does the race of these applicants properly play a role in UNC’s holistic merits-based admissions process?
To answer that question, “a page of history is worth a volume of logic.” New York Trust Co. v. Eisner, 256 U. S. 345, 349 (1921). Many chapters of America’s history appear necessary, given the opinions that my colleagues in the majority have issued in this case.
Justice Thurgood Marshall recounted the genesis:
“Three hundred and fifty years ago, the Negro was dragged to this country in chains to be sold into slavery. Uprooted from his homeland and thrust into bondage for forced labor, the slave was deprived of all legal rights. It was unlawful to teach him to read; he could be sold away from his family and friends at the whim of his master; and killing or maiming him was not a crime. The system of slavery brutalized and dehumanized both master and slave.” From Regents of Univ. of Cal. v. Bakke, 438 U. S. 265, 387–388 (1978).”
What do you think? Should schools be able to consider race and ethnicity in admissions? Should ANY affirmative action policies be allowed?
*(My attitude about life is that we should question everything. Without giving you my mini-lecture about questioning, I just want to say that a *lot* of people these days, and I am among them, question the desirability of “meritocracy,” which asserts that the only legitimate factor in, for example, hiring or admissions decisions, is “merit.” If doubting meritocracy sounds crazy to you please read some of the articles I’m linking to in this paragraph.)
FYI: Before 2023 the Supreme Court had considered whether schools should be able to consider race in admissions numerous times. Some of the main cases are
Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978).
Grutter v. Bollinger (2003),
Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin I (2013)
Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin II (2016).

Contract Dispute and Tort Claims

Contract Dispute and Tort Claims
Scenario:
Jack and Jill, two construction firm partners, engaged a client named to construct a house for him. The contract remained clear on the type of material to be used, the time when the project was to be completed, and the agreed payment mode. Halfway through the project, Robert developed dissatisfaction that the materials being used were not as agreed on by all parties. Jack and Jill responded that the materials resembled all other instances in the industry and were approved in the contract. The situation worsened when Robert could not pay any more money, citing that the other party had breached him. Then, Jack and Jill ceased the construction, and at the same time, Robert lodged a claim for damages. In the legal process, it was heard that Jack and Jill had failed to observe the appropriate safety measures, which led to the injuries of one of their employees, Sam. Moreover, Robert slandered Jack and Jill on their social media platforms, which made their customers turn against them due to his remarks about the firm’s operations.
Questions;
a. Enumerate and describe the essential requisites of a sound and enforceable contract.
b. Discuss whether Jack and Jill violated the contract terms using the provided situation.
d. What legal arguments can Jack and Jill have against the fact that Robert breaches the contract?
d. Determine Jack and Jill’s potential legal responsibility for the harm their worker, Sam, sustained due to negligence.
e. Examine possible averments that Jack and Jill might use to reduce their risks in this negligence lawsuit.
d. Identify vicarious liability and how it can be applied to the case of Jack and Jill and their worker, Sam.
g. Analyze the possible damages Sam could claim and the factors determining the quantum of damages
