How to use police in a sentence?

  1. Lorella Praeli:

    In the Warrant Service Officer( WSO) program, as it is called, sheriffs deputies would receive one day of training. Unlike the more involved 287( g) ICE program, deputies would not interview a detainee to ascertain his or her citizenship and immigration status. Instead, they essentially would file a federal warrant, directing the local jail to hold a criminal alien for 48 hours after the scheduled release until an ICE agent shows up to take custody. It is cheaper and may allow sheriffs to act without violating sanctuary laws. Expect blowback and scrutiny from opponents. This program is just the latest scheme by ICE to enlist local police in its abusive deportation agenda, the agency explicitly aims to subvert the will of local communities that have passed ordinances to prevent exactly this kind of cooperation between police and ICE.

  2. Kenneth Nunn:

    I don't think the average White juror or average White citizen wants to see Black people killed by the police, but when they do see those killings, they weigh that with' well we are concerned about safety in our community, these are the people who provide it, we want to give them some leeway.'.

  3. Matt Lewis:

    In the era of Facebook Live and smart phones, it’s hard to come to any conclusion other than the fact that police brutality toward African-Americans is a pervasive problem that has been going on for generations. Seriously, absent video proof, how many innocent African-Americans have been beaten or killed over the last hundred years by the police—with little or no media coverage or scrutiny?

  4. Ralph Goodale:

    The investigation is at a stage where no further information can be confirmed at this point, the police are conducting obviously their thorough investigation to determine what happened and why it happened, the motivations involved.

  5. Malik Yusef:

    Police brutality has a long and carved history in America, the candidate that I'm going to choose is going to have this issue at the forefront of their mouth, as well as climate change.
