Florida Gun Violence Makes National Headlines

Florida Gun Violence Makes National Headlines The confusion and sense of loss that follow when gun violence occurs is always terrible but matters become murkier when there is a Stand Your Ground case like the killing of Markeis McGlockton. This case in particular is problematic because Michael Drejka initially provoked the victim and then shot after McGlockton reacted and attempted to turn to leave, meaning that it does not appear that the incident immediately meets the requirements of Florida Stand Your Ground Law. The matter has garnered additional attention because Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri has refused to arrest the shooter. The...

Police Hold “Mission Impossible” Star Ving Rhames At Gunpoint “Mission Impossible” star Ving Rhames proved again that racists are emboldened on the U.S. and police are all too willing to do their bidding when he recounted the story of being held at gunpoint, by police, in his own home.

Police Officer Punches Hospitalized Woman The national narrative regarding police violence continued when a Detroit police officer was suspended with pay after a bystander captured a video in which the officer was witnessed punching a possibly mentally ill women nearly a dozen times at a hospital.

When she then turned her back on the officer, he chose violence over de-escalation techniques. Incidents of police brutality present challenges to the individuals harmed by...
