Crash Film Techniques
To protect and serve every American know that quote. Expect for the people who made it Police Officer. In the movie crash the main topic am going to talk about is Officer Matt Dillon but his character name is Ryan. Officer Dillon is a cop that has been working on the force for a long time. In one of the scene in the movie crash Officer Dillon pull over Terrance Howard and Thundie Newton Terrance Howard wife in the movie because Terrance Howard wife was giving a gift to Terrance Howard if you know what I mean. Then that's when Terrance Howard pull over the car and Officer Ryan told them to step out of the vehicle. Now me watching this movie I knew something bad was about to happen. That’s when Officer Ryan did the nastiest, disgracing, thing a man can do with that badge on his chest he molested Thundie …show more content…
I was in shocked and it made me want to pass my degree in criminal justice even more. That takes me back to that famous quote To Protect and Serve. Officer Ryan wasn’t protecting and serving Thundie Newton he was serving himself. Officer like Officer Ryan think they can get away with anything they want today because that have a badge on their chest. The officer in the movie is just like the officer in real life do what every they want and don’t have to face the Consequences but everybody can change. Officer Ryan do the most toughest, and stressful job in America. Officer Ryan put his life on the line to save people for a little bit of money. Officer Ryan also have dad issue with his health and the sad part is that he can’t do nothing about it because of the fact that he doesn’t have money. I think Officer Ryan is feeling stress over the fact that he can get shot anytime and then who will take care of his father. I also think that Officer Ryan feel like it will be his fault if his father died. The point I ‘am trying to get here is Officer Ryan is under pressure and he just took it out the wrong way and he figure that out later in the

    “I believe that almost all law enforcement officials are upstanding, dedicated public servants who deserve our appreciation and support -- and not to be used as scapegoats or, as we've seen lately, become targets of violence” (Toomey). Though this is the mindset that a majority of the population of the United States holds, there is still a portion which has opposing opinions in their outlook upon law enforcement personnel. Within the past few years there has been an increase in unprovoked attacks upon law enforcement personnel, these attacks are commonly promoted by several sections of American society that wish to see harm done to these brave men and women. A better understanding of the feelings and relationships that law enforcement personnel…

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once stated, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” King was referencing the injustice of racism not only in the United States but all around the world. His theory that being a racist to one group is hypocritical, and that being judgmental to some is being judgmental of all. Many minorities face the fact of stereotypes that hinder their ability to live as any other free American. The “American Dream” is often soiled for those who are a part of the minority race. Screenwriter Paul Haggis depicts these racial issues in the film Crash. Some writers and poets also testify to the injustices such as Robert Jensen, P. McIntosh, and Langston Hughes. All of these great writers speak of how minorities abilities are doubted and that they are looked upon with all the connotations attributed to the color of ones skin. According to many writers, minorities in the United States today are singled out for the worse because of their race.…

    By the nature of the job of law enforcement one can conclude that there are many occasions when a police officer can face up to with a moral dilemma. The question is when will an officer be faced with one. Throughout an officer career he has referred to the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics, which is a code that represents everything that a police officer should be. The Peace Officers Research Association of California established this code in 1956 and since then has made its way throughout the country to Police departments and its officers. Many department mission statement have been derived from the very words that appear on the code of ethics.…

    So the Bradley rolled back, and we rolled back. And I had to shoot the position-caller before I could shoot the actual shooter. He didn't have a gun, but I knew what he was doing. He was the one calling out what's going on. He was on the phone. So I sent a shot up 20 feet above him and below him and to the side of him. And he just stood there. On his phone, talking the whole time. Innocent people ran. The bad guys stay and fight. If they're not running, they're going to be calling. That's the way I see it. So I shot him and he freaked out and stood still but I was so sorry. I cannot take that type of chance again. I had to start making these moral decisions. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six. After that happened I thought, well, now I'm damned. I've done the worst thing possible and there's not much more worse you can do than shoot an unarmed person. It's not just that man, now I gotta deal with this and remember this forever. It's like, man, I hope nobody saw that, because I'll go to jail, too. You kind’ve feel so horrible and You kind of die inside. There's really nothing beneath me now. I'm at the bottom of the barrel. So basically you're worried about salvation and people finding out these dirty little secrets.Imagine living in this…

    “You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom” (Malcolm X). Police officers are to take risks and suffer inconveniences to protect lives, defend civil liberties, secure the safety of fellow citizens, and they endure such risks and tolerate such inconveniences on behalf of strangers. Policing is one of the more noble and selfless occupations in society. Making a difference in the quality of life is an opportunity that policing provides, and few other professions can offer. A public affirmation of adhering to an Oath of Honor is a powerful vehicle demonstrating ethical standards. Yet there are the few that go against…

    Police Officer Profession

    • 6 Pages

    In the daily life of police officers, the day can begin with abject boredom and transform into harrowing danger. There is never a pattern to what may occur. Many come into a police career with the desire to help others and make a difference in their community or even the world. During the time when I began my career as an officer, there was a push for professionalism and a return to protecting and serving of the public. This came from the decades of racism, enforcement of white supremacy, and using officers as a way to take civil liberties. During the latter portion of the eighties and early nineties, professional police service was the work ethic being installed into new police officers. Throughout my career, I have witnessed a change from professional teachings, to more militarized elitist teachings. This has been particularly evident in the past ten years. In past studies, researchers have found attitudes toward police have been mainly cultivated through officer interaction with people, and through media effects (Mazerolle, et al., 2013, Avdija & Giever, 2010). However, it is my belief that things have significantly changed with regards…
