You are completing an internship with a local police agency. The o cers you ride with are great and let you come along on everything they do. One day the o cer you are riding with takes you along on a drug raid. You are invited to come in when the house is secure, and you observe six young men sitting on two sofas in the living room. The o cers are ransacking the house and asking the young men where they have hidden the drugs. Four of the youths are black and two are white. One of the o cers walks behind the sofa where the black youths are sitting and slaps each one hard on the side of the head as he walks past. He ignores the two white youths sitting on the other sofa
chance of being hired by this agency will be very small. You desperately want a good recommendation from the o cers you ride with. What would you do?
Group 4,5, & 6
You are a police o cer in New Orleans. During the ood following Hurricane Katrina, you are ordered to patrol a section of the downtown area to prevent looting. The water is waist high in some places, and sections of blocks are for the most part, inundated with oodwater. You come upon one shop where the plate glass window has been broken, and about a dozen people are coming out of the shop with clothing in their arms. The stores' contents will be written o anyway by the owners and covered by insurance. Should that make a di erence in your decision? What if the store was in an area of the city that wasn't ooded and the contents were not ruined? What if the people said they were desperate and didn't have any clothes because their belongings were under water? What if the items being taken were televisions and other electronics?
