"Crooked Cops"

Three police officers were accused of brutally assulting a man, Michael Mineo, on October 18th ,2008 in Brooklyn. Mineo was allegedly being arrested for smoking marijuwana. During the arrest, officer Kern struck Mineo withy his baton. A fourth officer has recently admitted to seeing officer Kern jab the baton between Mineo's buttocks. Medical examinations suggest the injuries Mineo had may have been caused by teh baton. The baton was taken from officer Kern for DNA evaluation. The trial is yet to be had.
The idea of police officers not fulfilling their duties as police offiers is a scary thought. I feel police are given too much power and authority and at times it may get to their heads. Injuring any suspect for any reason other than the suspect hurting you, I believe, is injust. No matter the case, no amount of harm should have been exerted on Mr. Mineo.

"Metallica fan found slain"

Almost a year after the disappearance of Morgan Harrington, her body has finally been recovered. Morgan went missing in October last year at a Metallica concert. “Harrington attended the concert with friends, but after getting separated, she called them to say she was outside the arena, couldn't get back in and would try to find another way home. Her phone and purse were found the next day in the parking lot of the venue,” a reporter of E Online, Erik Pederson stated on Tuesday, January 26 at 4:10PM. Tuesday morning, a farmer found the remains of her body in his field. The police have no suspects at this time.
If higher security measures had been taken on the premises of the venue, could Morgan be alive today? Perhaps, they should have called Morgan a cab or made sure she was safe until off the premises. The point is there were many other security measures the security team should have taken for this young woman leaving into a dark parking lot late at night. Maybe these are some things concerts should consider for people leaving concerts alone and without a ride to a safe place.
