Respect the Law

Looking at our world today there has been a lot of corruption going on in society, in the government and even with the local police men. Every day I see another unjust ruling occur, in a supposedly nation where justice sought after. In the army thousands of women report an occurrence of rape and what does our justice system do? They sweep it under the rug like it never happened. For so long have the women in this country been suppressed, we need to take a stand and fight. They act as if the 19th amendment was never put in place. Things like this are what infuriate me. Instead of sticking together like one great, powerful nation we put down the very people that helped this nation flourish. I am tired of living in a world where the government can be paid off to keep their mouth shut!

The men and women hired by the government serving as our police men or justices or congress men should be sought after that they rule fairly. From experience I can also say that I have also dealt with unjustly behavior. As I said in my previous blog Justice my sister and I were not helped at all when we were attacked by those people. How are we as citizens suppose to feel safe, but when I needed them the most they were nowhere to be found? Also I recently went on a ride along with an officer patrolling the streets of Palmdale and so did other students in my Law and Order Practicum class and they shared their experience with their assigned officer. I heard stories of police officers trying to pick up women while on the job. What an example? There is someone being robbed but wait the police officer is across the street trying to get a woman’s phone number. My friend told me his story of his encounter with the local police station. His sister was robbed of her possessions and they called the police station but they responded by saying they would not be able to inspect the home until five days after. The government pays them to their job so why is reporting a robbery such a problem?

When I graduate I plan on attending a university and later applying to law school. I plan on working in family law and helping troubled families in need. I know I won’t turn down a family in need. “If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable” – Louise D. Brandeis
