This article talks about how trump pardoned arpio. Arpio was being held in regards to him and his team detaining people based on their suspicion that those people were in the country illegally. It also talks about how arpio wants to run for office again

This article can be taken many different ways. Arpio being pardoned is not something that is for the better of this state and as a country. Everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions, and when people are being let off so easily just as Arpio is, it is not fair for the rest of us.

As the article stated, not much can be done now that Joe Arpaio has been pardoned. I do believe, however, that this dismissal ought to unify Arizona residents in the fight against racial profiling. Whether a victim of Arpaio's practices or not, he committed an unethical crime and is not only being "forgiven," but given the opportunity for a fresh start which does not follow the American justice system.

Article about Gay marriage and how it effects personal freedoms. Also about peoples feelings towards new laws.

The new California gay marriage law has taken effect, and thousands of couples are clamoring to exercise that right at secular offices and religious institutions throughout the state. These thoughts were inspired in part by an email, received Monday, with a link to the New York Times review of a new movie, Chris and Don: A Love Story, about the British-born writer Christopher Isherwood and his life-long companion, the artist Don Bachardy.

This article outlines how deceiving, and even ignorant the Black Lives Matter movement really is to claim that police are racist. A Harvard Law professor and his students conducted a experiment compiled of more than 3,000 hours of data, and concluded that in fact there is a race that is more likely to be shot by police, Caucasians, as there will be the least blow-back, or media coverage from the public about racial tensions, and racist police officers. The Black Lives Matter organization as of late is based off of the idea that police are killing in cold blood based off the idea that the victims are black. This idea is ludicrous and has been debunked several times before in the past. However BLM uses deceit and raises lots of money in order to recruit, train, and buy weapons for shooters such as Micah Xavier Johnson did in Dallas. The BLM organization has strong ties, and was founded by the Black Panthers, a known terrorist organization that targets Caucasians and police officers. It deeply saddens me that people can so easily tie themselves to a movement with such rotten foundations, which is deceiving millions of innocent people and taking advantage of them, using them as martyrs.

This article briefly cover the changes that the new president has made in his first week in office.

I worry about how fast he is doing things and that he isn't really thinking through consequences. I'm not a big fan of Obamacare, but when faced with that or nothing, I'd stick with it, at least until something better can be found to make sure everyone has access to affordable health care.

This site provides a lot of information on the power of a police officer. There are a few things I personally was not aware of. It is scary how much power they have. I like this site because it provides the steps an officer or yourself would take, beginning to end.

I like that this website notifies you of what police can and cannot do. Not everyone knows the laws like we should so things like this can be a lifesaver. It is important to know when you are being taken advantage of even if it is an authority member doing so.

This article is just upsetting. CPS failed to remove 3 children from their caregivers home after an officer reported concern, several other reports, and signs of neglect. Unfortunately, today only one of the three siblings are alive. CPS should be accountable.

This article is so heartbreaking. CPS should have done something from the beginning when they first started noticing abuse. I have experience with a bad social worker before when I was fostering a child. She was suppose to come every month to check on him but wouldn't show up for months. CPS needs to find a solution to get these social workers to do there jobs to protect these children.

is heartbreaking how a little mistake can change a lot of people's life. In this case 2 children are death. CPS need to have professional workers that know how to identify the emotions of the kids. This case show us how life is unfair with some people and how sad it can be when some people don't do their job right.

This seems like a comprehensive collection of police shooting occurrences. When doing any research paper about law enforcement it would definitely be helpful. It is horrible that unjust killings exist.

It is hard to discern the situation after-the-fact. Police officers are put into life-threatening situations but many times, they are dealing with someone who has a mental illness. In addition, the insurmountable evidence of police brutality is undeniable. I think we should re-evaluate our shoot first, ask questions later approach.

It is not illegal for someone from the government to violate your privacy. If they have a warrant or not they can still invade your personal life. If they do not have a warrant and find you not guilty then the police officer would be punished.
