Brief Fact Summary: This was a case under the Supreme Court of the United States that was between Leonel Torres Herrera who was the petitioner v. James A. Collins the Director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. Herrera was convicted for a murder of two officers but later produced evidence that he was innocent.

Oscar Grant ended up being shot and killed. Some thought of this to be an accident, but many factors go to show quite the opposite. This killing was intentional, and in no way was it an accident.

The men in the posse refuse and want to take matters into their own hands which later on results in them hanging innocent people. Somewhere towards the end after the men that had been believed as the fugitives are hanged the sheriff comes by and lets them know that the men they hanged were not responsible for the shooting. This is an example of how sometimes people of power forgets to enforce the rights of anyone. The deputy that was present at the hanging forgot his job to enforce the rights of the supposed ‘fugitives’ and allowed their rights to have been violated that often are seen in the ‘real’ world with police brutality. It is law enforcement's job to enforce human rights and sometimes they fail to do that, it is not their only

One soldier, Captain Thomas Preston, was the man who fired the shots that killed five people. Three civilians died immediately; two died in the hospital for their wounds. The shooter was arrested for manslaughter. A little over

In today’s modern society, many feel that is okay for a police officer can kill a man armed with a harmful weapon at any cost. On many news channels, there are various amounts of articles and reports about a police officer committing this act. Even though a police officer has the right to take action against an armed man, this could be argued in many circumstances. In the 2013, Sammy Yatim was a young adult with a mental illness and was armed with a weapon on a streetcar in Toronto. Yatim was confronted by Const.

His neighbor may have died that night if it were not for this modern technology. It is for this and many other similar situations that law enforcement should be allowed to use Tasers.
