President Trump and What He Says About Illegal Drugs

I do not know how many of you have seen this on television. The other day I saw on news that President Trump at a rally said he wants to give the death penalty to those who are drug dealers. To me I think he is taking the crime being done to a whole another level. I feel drug dealers should be punished but not to the point that they will get killed. He says that drug dealers destroy families and kill people because of there drugs. I am not saying that drug dealers do not do this but the people buying the drugs from them, may not know what is included in drugs but the person is choosing to buy it when they have the choice . I feel like drug dealers should be put into prison or helped out in order to get away from drugs instead of being sentenced to death. I feel the president just wants to get rid of everyone doing harm, but that is just me.

    I saw this. SO troubling. It's beyond naive in terms of understanding the nature of drug crimes, crime in general, and legal punishment. The president has a lot of weak ideas about how to solve problems. It seems clear that he'd like to be able to take credit for (and actually) solving problems, but I don't think his critical thinking skills -- or life experience, understanding of human nature, etc -- are highly evolved enough for this kind of complex work. See? I said all this so politely! (grrr)

Something I was not expecting

This is something I was not expecting at all especially in the last week of classes before finals. Being the last week of classes and having a lot of final papers due this week and then came finals week after that. It all started on Tuesday night with a small headache then came Wednesday morning and I could barley think. My head felt like it was pounding so hard and It was super hot so I thought I was getting a fever.  It was barley possible to even write my papers those two days and I had one due that night and the Thursday, so it was somewhat rough. Thankfully I felt better today.

Final Blog Post

This semester in Writing in the Disciplines was a great class. I enjoyed how the majority of this class was in group work, I was able to work together and meet new people I had never known before and create friendships. I usually am a shy and quiet person but in this class working in groups I was able to step out and talk to everyone and cooperate equally. I also liked how Dr. Kyburz always encouraged participation, at first the class was very quiet but toward the end of the semester we all got comfortable with one another to be able to speak in front of each other and work together. One assignment I really enjoyed were watching short police scenes and being able to write up a report from it. We worked in groups and we had to write everything in chronological order and distinguish what type of report was it. Based on the actions officer took it helped us determine the type. Being able to write a good report is an important factor in Law Enforcement, Dr Kyburz express this pretty much...

Retiring Cop Gets Emotional During Last Radio Call

Changing the channel on the t.v and seeing this sounds super sad. A man retiring from his police job and speaking for the last time on the radio got him super emotional. This just proves that he loved what he did at his job because he will never get to do it again since he is retiring. The Sarasota Police Department honored Andre Jenkins in a ceremony for his 30 years of service he had done. He specifically said over police radio, " He will cherish  them for the rest of his life " referring to the good memories he had as a police officer. This just shows how dedicated a person is to their job if he really love it because when it comes for their time to retire they get certain feeling brought to them when they officially leave.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/peopleandplaces/retiring-cop-gets-emotional-during-last-radio-call/vi-AAwyPsA
