Carter states that, “Earp was a man who instinctively responded to a crisis” (66). An example was given by Schillingberg, agreeing to this by stating that there was a time when Wyatt heard gunshots in town, approaching the scene he could see that the criminals were getting away so he took a shot at them to hit and wounded one who died later that day after a complication with the amputation of his arm (220). While Earp served three terms as marshall there was no record of him intentionally killing someone in his time there (Carter 69-70). Earp was often found in many tough situations involved or not it made a bad name for him that he didn 't necessarily want (66).

Hi Professor Feldman, In deontological ethics, I believed that the Sheriff was not acting ethical. The duty of the Sheriff and employers is to ensure that their employees are treated fairly based on the employment laws, the professional codes of conduct and moral values. The Sheriff took advantage of the employees by not providing the 5% raise. Based on virtue ethics, I think the Sheriff and lieutenant is failing since he or she is not doing anything to ensure that the employee is treated fairly.
