Extrajudicial Killing
Topic: Extra judicial killing in Jamaica
Audience: General Public
Purpose: To inform my audience of the many innocents lives that the Jamaica Constabulary Force takes on a yearly basis.
Thesis: Extra judicial killing lead to a large number of innocent deaths

I. Extra judicial killing have lead to a rapid increase in civilians death. A. Statistical reports show that over 1422 people have lost their lives innocently by the Jamaica Constabulary Force between the years 2000 and 2007. (Office, I. P. 2008) B. 22 year old Errol Spence was also killed innocently during the Tivoli incursion by the police authorities. (Fahim, 2010) II. This insufferable act is wrong and causing other civilians and family members to fear life. A. According to Smith 2012, “it is very hard for persons with family members or friends allegedly abuse to trust the Police authorities”. (smith, 2012) B. Robert Hill’s wife a victimized civilian left the country after her husband death because she feared the police would kill her next. III. It is even against the law of God to kill. A. (Exodus 20:13) “Thou shall not kill.” B. The bible also says that it is wrong for a man to judge the appearance of another man. (John 7:24)

Conclusion
However, it is only important and prudent for the authorities to know and taking the lives of civilians blatantly without a cause is egocentric. Nonetheless, they should seek to enhance their motto which clearly states, “We serve, we protect, we reassure with courtesy, integrity and proper respect for the rights of all", and cease to taking the lives of innocent civilians.

    S: This essay is in the form of a New York Times article from March 27, 1964 where an assailant, Winston Moseley; 29, stabbed Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, 28, three times within a thirty-five minute period early one morning. The brutal murder was seen by at least thirty-eight people in a heavily populated neighborhood, yet none of these witnesses called the police until Ms. Genovese had already died around 3:50am. When asked why they didn’t call the police earlier, none of the witnesses could come up with a definitive answer. The most frequent response was; “I didn’t want to get involved.” This case confused police due to the high level of apathy to violence, an attitude that has become more prevalent in American culture as time has passed.…

    A deadly civil war has been raging for two years in Syria between the government and the rebels. Consequently, on 21st August, Damascus was struck by rockets containing chemical materials. Within hours thousands of innocent people were left profoundly distressed at the barbaric aftermath caused by these sudden attacks. 1,429 people were killed including 426 children and the manner of their deaths was unspeakably grim. The Syrian government were accused of conducting these attacks but denied allegations even though evidence clearly shows they were complicit in this deeply inhumane massacre of their own people. Should we just stand passively and allow more chemical callous carnage or should we take military action with the strong possibility that if we do so this could lead to more deaths than we imagined despite the honourable motive involved.’…

    Furthermore, citizens along with constituted bodies of the state, feel free to disregard the laws and apply violence in a hazardous way, because the government is not strong enough to restrain such incidents. For instance, Zwach (2015) introduces a case of police brutality against a minority male, which resulted ultimately in his death (p. 190). Court of justice, however, concluded that the police officer was not responsible for such a lethal resolution of the events (p. 191). Unfortunately, very often, police officers of the US do not follow the proper procedure of detaining a suspect belonging to racial minorities. Moreover, they may also take away the life of a innocent citizen without facing a legal punishment (p. 202). Hence, police violence occurs in the countries with weak leadership, because police officers rarely get accountable for their misconduct that is directed toward an ‘undesirable’ part of the…

    However, there have been law enforcement related deaths. Many hundreds more are killed annually and these deaths by police are almost always ruled justifiable, even when the victims are unarmed or shot in the back running away. (Phillips, Grant and Sewell, 2014) It is reasonable to assume that some portion of these deaths is attributable to officer mistakes, over-reactions, or deliberate acts resulting in death. (Phillips, Grant and Sewell. 2014)…
