UCLA Communications Race And Law Tackling Implicit Police Biasedness This is for my communications, race and law class that I’m currently in at UCLA.

The professor has posted the prompt and we can choose one of the 4 that works best with you and that you can write.

It needs to be double spaced with 12 point font like a normal paper with cited sources at the end.

Everything is on the papers I attach below.

Please let me know which prompt you will be starting and what you will need!

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask as I am very easy to talk to 🙂

The paper is due Thursday at 5 pm so I would like it before then so I can print it out.

Thank you!!! in similar social circles for the past few years. You know, for example, that he has taken
and completed “Race, Racism, and the Law.” You also know that he remembers the case of
Officer Justin Volpe who sodomized Abner Louima with a broomstick in 1997 (page 14, Racism
and the Law) and that some of Mr. Barnacle’s favorable comments about Officer Volpe’s actions
have catalyzed your concerns and anxieties.
In various relatively recent parties that you have attended where he has been present, Barnacle has
often said that when he goes on patrol, he’s going to “get me some
or some ‘illegal
immigrants’ and watch the blood flow when he is a cop.” He also said “I’ll be the Volpe of SC!”
and “it’s time for some real ass kicking of these so-called people of color.” You have also seen
white nationalist literature on his laptop and also seen the tattoo on his arm that reads “WHITE
PRIDE” (these are fully protected under the First Amendment). But you also know that Barnacle
is well liked among fellow students and that he often invites them to his home for parties. Your
even attended one yourself and actually enjoyed the event. You noticed that Barnacle’s apparent
girlfriend had some bruises on her arm that she tried to conceal. You couldn’t be sure whether
she was a victim of abuse, but you certainly had suspicions. You’re not 100% sure that Barnacle
meant everything he said; it could be the alcohol talking.
In an informal conversation you recently had, Barnacle mentioned that he’s been offered the USC
job and has accepted and will start in August. . You worry he is the kind of police officer who
could wind up like Justin Volpe. You also know that the neighborhoods surrounding USC are full
of racial and ethnic minorities. But you know that saying anything would brand you a “rat” and
that anything you say might not do any good at all; in fact, if it got out, there might even be some
danger to you because Mr. Barnacle has a lot of friends. You are not sure what, if anything, you
should do. You are not sure procedures, if any, are available for you to follow. What, them, will
you do, if anything at all? Write a clear and detailed 6-7 page essay, giving your decision and the
reasons supporting it: (Although not specifically relevant to this scenario, the book Ethical
Ambition by Derrick Bell is a valuable resource).
4. Constitution Week in a U.S. observance to commemorate the adoption of the United States
Constitution. It runs annually from September 17 to September 23, although it is not an official
national holiday. President George W. Bush officially declared the inception of this week in
September 2002. In 2004, Congress declared that Constitution Day should be observed in schools
each year on September 17 with educational programs about the history and signing of the
Constitution. The two requirements of the law were that the head of every federal agency provide
each employee with educational materials concerning the Constitution on the 17th of September
and that each educational institution that receives federal funds should hold a program for students
every Constitution Day. Some states, local governments, and civic organizations also hold essay
contests in conjunction with Constitution Day.
Here is another hypothetical: your old high school, complying with the law, has decided to “get in
on the act on the occasion of the 232st anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution. It
decides to sponsor an essay contest for all its alumni: “The Majesty of the United States
Constitution.” The winner’s essay will be shared in an assembly with the entire student body of
your old high school. Because the contest also carries a generous cash award, with high
university and other costs, and student loan debts looming, you decide to enter the contest.
Write this essay. Keep in mind what you would like to share about the Constitution (including its
origins) to high school students. You are free to go in any direction you choose. You can offer

any perspective you wish—favorable, critical, mixed, etc. It need not be merely of Justice
Thurgood Marshall’s critique as briefly reported on page 28 of Racism and the Law. That, of
course, is also a legitimate response, but like any response, it requires a more comprehensive
argument with examples
, support, and persuasive reasoning. You should draw extensively on
both the text (including original and other parts of the Constitution) and on class discussions in
your essay.
example). While the campus population at Utah State is likely aware modestly of some of the
incidents we have covered in class, it is reasonable to assume that most of the students there
typically favor police institutions and most often give police officers every benefit of the doubt
when conflicts arise between them and citizens, including citizens of color.

Your presentation should be written and focus specifically on what, if anything, America should
do about this recent police misconduct. Because you are writing for a specific group (the
assembled students of Utah State University), you need to pay specific attention to how you
structure your presentation for maximum effectiveness to this particular audience. In other
words, be very aware of the generally conservative views of your audience. (You are not limited
to any particular viewpoint; although many, even most, students in Af. Am. 176 probably
regard police brutality and misconduct as a major problem, you could, for example, argue that the
highly publicized examples only reflect a few largely isolated and unfortunate examples of poor
policing in a generally fine institution and that police forces should be given even greater public
support. The point of this assignment is to formulate a policy proposal and support it with
supporting argumentation. )

2. The UC Regents allow one UC student to serve for a year as a Student Regent. Imagine that
the Los Angeles Police Commission has decided to do the same by appointing one student to
serve for a year as a Student Commissioner. YOU have been selected. You have been requested,
as your first task, to submit a 6-7 page essay to the Commission on the problem of implicit bias
in policing and your personal proposal about changes in police selection and training
procedures that would address this significant issue of implicit bias.
This happens to be a theme we have explored in the first weeks of our class. It arose dramatically
in the case of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates. In week 3, your instructor mentioned a very
recent case at Barnard College in New York City. Other examples from Charles Ogletree’s The
Presumption of Guilt were also mentioned. Further examples can be found on page 26 of the
course text. Many other recent cases have occurred and substantial evidence exists about racial
profiling (see, for example, The Stanford Open Policing Project).
Indicate why you have chosen your particular reform about police selection and training (it may
be one or several) and then argue in depth why you believe it would have beneficial consequences
for the future in addressing the problems of implicit bias against racial and ethnic minorities. Your
proposal should be reasonably detailed, going beyond what we discussed in class. In composing
your answer, you should make specific reference to cases relevant to your proposal that are treated
in class discussions, readings, and/or the film we saw the first day of class. Obviously, any
specific policy about changes regarding police training or practices cannot fully address the
deeper issues of institutional racism in America, but it is certainly appropriate to note that reality
as part of your essay.
3. Imagine the following hypothetical scenario: You are a UCLA undergraduate about to graduate
in June. You know that another student, Bill Barnacle, also about to graduate, has applied for a
position as a Public Safety Officer I at the University of Southern California. Holders of
that position are sworn police officers. They investigate crimes, make arrests, patrol
communities to make them safer, work with the community to solve problems and
provide general police services. PSOs carry a firearm and have peace officer “powers of
arrest” authority pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the LAPD
while on-duty. You know several things about Mr. Barnacle because you have travelled

1. In the past few years, your teacher has given a series of public presentations in Canada, the
Czech Republic, Armenia, and Holland on several topics, with a major focus on the highly
publicized U.S. police killings and beatings of unarmed African Americans that we have
examined in our class. These issues reflected such examples as the killings of Michael Brown in
Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, Eric Garner in New York in 2014, Laquan McDonald in Chicago in
2014, Walter Scott in South Carolina in 2015, and many others, all of which we have seen and
discussed in class. During these discussions, the issue of “Black Lives Matter” arose and your
teacher indicated his general knowledge and support of that movement. As in this class, he
expressed a highly critical view of police conduct in his international presentations. These foreign
audiences were generally knowledgeable about the police killings in the U.S. and were also
generally sympathetic to the viewpoints expressed.
For this topic, imagine that you have been selected, as a result of your stellar academic
performance at UCLA, to give a presentation on the same topic of these police killings and
beatings to an audience at Utah State University in Logan, Utah as part of its program to attract
excellent undergraduate students from throughout the U.S. to its campus.
Both the state of Utah and Utah State University have very few African Americans and also have
generally conservative reputation. (Donald Trump won the state in 2016 by a large margin, for
