Lets Be Cops

In the Movie, Lets Be Cops Damon Wayne Jr. and Jake Johnson are two best friends who haven’t gone far in their lives. Damon Wayne Jr is a ‘big time” video game producer and Jake Johnson is a washed up football player who could of gone somewhere “if he didn’t get injured.” I put this in quotes because through the movie it is his excuse for not doing anything in his life. It all starts when Jake Johnson confuses a masquerade ball party for a costume party and him and Damon Wayne Jr. show up in cop uniforms. It starts as a joke until Jake Johnson purchases a cop car off of EBay and then they start to impersonate the law. Overall I Believe this film is very hilarious and if you’re into comedy movies I highly suggest that you

Although this drug cartel aren’t exactly moving just drugs. This is where the plot in the story gets a little twisted. The top police investigator just so happens to be working with the cartel, so they always had the police on their side. Jake Johnson had enough of that and started setting up stings and operations to gather evidence to bust the cartel. Keep in mind Damon Wayne Jr’s. Video game “Police Man” is about to come to life. All of his ideas and events are about to go into action. They figure out that the cartel is buying illegal weapons from the police (which have been confiscated) so the traces on them are clean. They ended up turning around and selling those as a profit to fuel their drug business. The final scene is a huge gun fight and their first serious case as cops. At the end instead of turning themselves in for impersonating a cop they are recognized as heroes. Lastly Damon Wayne Jr finally gets his video game into action and has a successful career doing that, and the “washed up” football player goes to police academy and becomes a real

    Part of the films’ appeal was its blue-collar ethos and its love of all things American, except for a law here or there. Walker’s cop Brian O’Conner couldn’t resist. Dom's crew of gear-heads, grease monkeys, guys willing to get their hands dirty when duty called, soon won him over.…

    In the End of Watch, these two cops patrol the streets of South Central together. It’s a dangerous part of the city where gangs, drug violence, and criminals are present. The footage is shot by a camera attached to Officer Zavala and a hand-held one carried by Officer Taylor. The scenes shot in the patrol vehicle lets you know the men are very close. They joke around from talking about each other sex lives, to having little disagreements about irrelevant topics, and even having deep serious conversations. They illustrate the brother-like relationship that isn’t seen by partners in cop movies.…

    The most important lesson of chapter 1, tells how the American police service have changed over time, and why it cannot be understood properly if it is examine alone. For example, in a crime scene, an officer has to gather his information from the witness otherwise he or she would never solve the crime, however, in working with the communities make their job a lot easier to find suspects. Many cases are still out there unsolved because they law enforcements can’t do the job alone. At the beginning of the 20th century, cities were staggering under the burden of machine politic, corruption, crime, poverty, and exploitation of women and children by industry. The police was less involved because during this…

    The individuals that work in the field of law enforcement today are presented with issues and concerns unlike any faced by those of the past. The changing face of crimes and criminal activity in this country and around the world are at the root of many of these challenges. In this country, the most significant issue is the shift to a more multicultural society. There are also concerns regarding police corruption, use of deadly force, racial profiling and the job hazards of policing in an increasingly dangerous world. The way police agencies enforce the laws and work to provide a safe environment to those they serve has perhaps never been more complex than it is today. The…

    This movie brought about a sobering reality of both families who have been affected by drugs, and the offenders behind bars for drug offenses. Yet I was somewhat disturbed by the small-town marshal in Magdalena New Mexico, Larry Curly who seemed to have a troublesome viewpoint towards police profiling. He called it “fishing” and blatantly admitted he was illegally profiling possible suspects who may be involved in drug trafficking. He denoted that all cops are phony and that they certainly profile individuals by their car and physicality. Yet he also stated that he tries to portray himself as a hero with “his white and and piece of silver.” I feel like this cop is a disgrace to the Criminal Justice system, for he contradicts himself. Yet it's important to mention he had one thing right by admitting how in-genuine him and other officers…

    Police subculture is one that is questioned with police brutality, use of excessive force in administering order, cover-ups for fellow police officers, corruption, and other unethical issues in the police system. An efficient police system would mean a flawless one, where there is no corruption or any form of misconduct where recruitment and training would all be fair. The police have time and time again been on the frontline for assault against a particular society, such as the black community who continually are being harassed by the law-enforcement. The moment a police officer swears the oath, he also commits himself to serve all of mankind, regardless of age, color, ethnicity, social status, or race.…

    There are several critical issues in policing. The main critical issues of policing are: use of deadly force, police deviance, police prejudice and discrimination, violence, substance abuse, and police brutality as well as other police misconduct. Not only do law enforcement agencies have to deal with critical issues within their agencies, they also have to deal with critical issues that pertain to the public. Officers put their lives at risk every day. When they put on their uniforms and go out into the field they are faced with danger and they have to be prepared to handle the situations they come face to face with. “When you are in a position to protect the people and the community your job generally will come with a large amount of risks” (www.termpaperhouse.com).…

    GPS tracking could be implemented into each agency. In our society, overcrowding in the prison system is an enormous issue. Prisoners are being released into our communities and may even be involved in another crime. GPS tracking is essential to prisoners being released in our community. Such prisoners for instance, child molesters and drug traffickers would be monitored and track everywhere they go. If a child molester approaches a school within a certain radius than the GPS alarm would activate at the local police station and officers could pin point where to apprehend him/her for violating their parole. Drug traffickers could have a GPS monitoring system placed on themselves and on the vehicle. This GPS system would have to be activated nationwide due to suspects moving into another county or state.…

    Police Culture Essay

    America is a very diverse place where people from all over the world choose to reside. With all of these different cultures blending together into one melting pot, we have to learn how to live with each other. For all these cultures to be able to dwell together, there needs to be order, rules, and guidelines established into the community. Without people that can fulfill those duties in a country there would be no kind of structure within the United States. The people who we count on to enforce these rules in the United States are the police. The citizens hold the police on a higher scale than regular civilians hold each other to. This takes places because civilians view the police in the United States on a pedestal because; they are the enforcers…
