I chose Border Patrol Agent Joel Luna as the subject of my discussion. Luna has not been found guilty as of yet of any crime, however, he has been arrested and charged with murder, possession of a controlled substance, tampering with physical evidence and engaging in organized criminal activity (LA Times &, KRGV News, 2015).

Luna embodies the worst kind of corruption in my opinion. All corruption is deplorable; but when a person uses a public trust position to further criminal activity at such a magnitude, and collaborate with a Foreign Drug Trafficking Organization (Gulf Cartel), the same people he swore an oath to protect our country from, that is corruption at the highest and most dangerous level.

    Summary: Discrimination Among Pachuca Women

    The one thing that stuck out to me the most was in Jose Diaz’s sleepy lagoon case, how the police investigated 10 women ages 13-21 because “they resembled the pachuca women.” When the court couldn’t find any of the women guilty, they refused to let the girls go. The girls were charged with the crime of rioting, declaring them ward of the state under investigation. All simply because they resembled the identity of a pachuca women.…

    Trials against Rios and Ulloa began at a time when a series of other police brutal actions emerged gaining public interest. Roybal produced yet other evidence linking the police department in misconduct, but Parker termed them as an injustice to the department (Escobar, 187).Trials that took place in 1952 only saw the conviction of five officers and another officer was jailed for not more than twelve months (Escobar, 192). Parker and the judges never bothered to condemn the act where the officers involved in perjury and this is clear evidence shown of how much the city government would fight to keep the Los Angeles police force clean (Escobar, 192). The officers claimed to have unclear memory during the hearing after which they are guilty when the investigations were done afresh as judge Call directed (Escobar,…

    The cask of Amontillado narrative essay

    It was a cold October night when I first heard of Fortunato’s case, I was very amused at the thought of someone doing something so unhuman to a person. I guess some people can’t control their actions, but then again those people belong in a mental institution. This case in particular was very peculiar because it had gone five years without being solved. It was about a week ago when our department heard about this case, it wasn’t long before the case landed on my hands. I am after all the best detective in this state something to be proud of course. Going out to the other side of the world to solve a case was something I had never done before but this case was overdue and someone had to do something to the aggressor in order to obtain justice.…

Of course they should be keeping an eyes on him, he is a drug felon.’ And we knew we couldn’t put a criminal on the stand because they would be inevitable cross examine in front of a jury about their prior criminal history, their whole credibility would be challenged.
