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.

Looking up on the internet with what is going on with police I came across a fascinating article.  In Brooklyn a man named Victor Kingsley planted a bomb and severely injured a man named George Wray. Kingsley was charged with using a weapon of mass murder. This act was meant to target a New York Police Officer for doing his job but ended up in a tragic death of a unintended victim. Kingsley wanted to get revenge for what police did to him back in January where they arrested him for possession of weapons and disorderly conduct by unit in the 67th precinct.  It just amazes me that he would get revenge that way with a bomb. Like he should know what kind of consequences he would get. The fact that he wanted to get a police officer and ended up killing a innocent person which makes me mad cause that person was not expecting to get burned from bomb and die later that day.

From this group project I have learned that there are 4 types of police reports. The first one is basically just the officer recording the facts. An example of this would be incident report where officer just takes notes. Type two would have to be where officer records the facts and investigates.  An example of this would be a traffic violation where officer has to investigate everything that happened with accident. Type three report would have to be officer takes notes, investigates, and then takes action. For this an example would be a domestic violence report since officer would mostly likely take action and then try to find the person of violence causes. Lastly, type four is when police initiates involvement, records facts, investigates and then takes action in process. For this a great example would be arrest report since in type four you need probable cause to make an arrest when police are involved.

Being on social media and just randomly searching articles of what is going on with law enforcement. I came upon an article stating that NYPD ignored more than 15,000 federal request to detain immigrants last year. The thing that caught me the most is that in 2017 the request to detaining immigrants was 20 times higher than  80 request in 2016. People who have committed numerous crimes over 100 who are undocumented go straight to ICE. What the NYPD is trying to do is for victims to have trust in officers who are trying to help with people struggling with immigration status.  ICE basically is trying to stop what NYPD is doing by helping immigrants because they do not know what they are doing. These people are hopefully trying to get a better life to support family.

Reading Published Review:  I have read a published review about the documentary of Cartel Land on IMDB. There were a decent amount of similarities from my reflection to the film to the published review. This review mostly focuses on when there was a scene in the film were a family lost 13 members in their family due to the cartel not getting what thy want. Another similarity would have to be when this review said this would probably be one of the best films that came out in Sundance I would agree I enjoyed this film and seeing different sides coming from Arizona Border Patrol and Autodefensas.  But there were a couple of  differences from this peer review compared to my reflection. For one, the review talked about how when Autodefenas were in Mexico detaining cartel the Mexican Army comes in and takes away their weapons and does not even go for the cartel. But eventually they end up gaining control and over power Army with all Autodefensas and towns-people. The r...

1. The scene that stuck out the most would have to be when the Autodefensa de Michoacan wanted to talk to a certain man when he was driving with his family into town. The man’s daughter was basically screaming her lungs out saying that she wanted to kill herself. But the Autodefensas just wanted to ask him if he knew anything about cartels or anything with drugs in the town. It made me curious on why she said she wanted to kill herself when they only wanted to ask the man some questions that was all. This man was cooperating he just had trouble controlling his daughter and wife. This man’s wife did not want these men to take his husband in for questioning. This scene stuck out to me the most because it really showed emotion between characters during the film and how cartel families felt against the Autodefensa de Michoacan were just searching for cartels and killing them to get rid of them. I believe they went after this man because they suspected that he was part of cartel and there ...
