If Aledda weas really trying to protect Dr. Kinsey they would have continued to shoot and successfully shot Mr. Rios, but only one shot was fired and it was very clear who the target was. I do believe that not all police on the scene were crooked and evil. I believe that the one police officer who shot Dr. Kinsey surprised his comrades by his actions, but they would cover for him at all cost, even if that meant lying during the investigation and being suspended without pay. Clearly Dr. Kinsey was no threat to anybody, so why was he shot? No one will ever really know the truth, but it is clear to see that the life of blacks does not matter in this

They kept him handcuffed and questioned him for fourteen and a half hours and refused his repeated request to speak with his attorney.

The evidence will show that the State's main witness, Jay Wilds, who was allegedly involved in the aiding of the victims murder, is an unreliable witness. Jay’s testimony has many inconsistencies and misleading information. During Jay’s interrogation with the police, he changes multiple parts of his story.

Except this time was only a few weeks ago and probably less dramatic too. So, I was on my way home from Conway late at night and as I was passing over the flats I didn’t realize how fast I was going. Little did I know there were three cops right behind me. As I came over the first hill about to enter the flats, I see blue lights in my rear view. My heart sank…

Institutional, legal and social hurdles affect the prosecution of cops for on-duty homicides. In the United States, the law gives police officers the power to use force when dealing with uncooperative criminals. Thus, it is hard for the juries to indict an officer. Besides, police receive massive support from the public, which makes it hard for the jury to determine if an officer violated his/her code of conduct in the event of a homicide. A conflict of interest arises amid the prosecutors and police officers in the course of an investigation.

There are many policemen out there right now on the streets doing their job. Either by sweeping around a neighborhood to keep a lookout for suspicious activity or pulling over drunk drivers who’re endangering others. Not all policemen are the same though, many are six feet tall and weigh around two hundred pounds of muscle, and there’re many shorter ones around five feet tall. They not only are all different physically but mentally also. Many officers out there know the rules, regulations, codified laws and do what they’re supposed to do, not what they want to do because of their own intentions.
