Based on what you learned about legitimacy and its role in strengthening the authority of the police, describe how the policies and actions of the Ferguson Police Department weakened their legitimacy in eyes of the community. In what ways did this impact the authority of the police. Could Michael Brown’s defiance towards Officer Darren Wilson have been partly the result of this lack of perceived legitimacy of the police department? Regardless of where you stand on the issue, please provide an answer. I want to make clear that I am not trying to justify Michael Brown’s attack on Officer Wilson. The attack was unjustified and a grand jury cleared Officer Wilson of the shooting, as did the F. B.I. With that said, Sunshine and Tyler make clear that weakened legitimacy reduces cooperation, which can lead to resistance. Could that have influenced Brown’s behavior, at least initially?

Finally, review the Final Report of the President’s Taskforce on 21s Century Policing and identify at least three recommendations that you feel will improve policing in the United States by strengthening their legitimacy in the eyes of all Americans. How will these recommendations reduce conflict and improve cooperation? As you reflect on this question, think back to all that you have learned in this course, and use that knowledge (and resources) to help guide your recommendations. How can we affect a cultural change in the police that will encourage more empathetic and compassionate policing without compromising on officer safety and public safety. What systemic or structural changes need to be made in society and with the criminal justice system. These are just a few suggestions. Feel free to apply what you have learned.

IMPORTANT: When you complete this assignment, report your recommendations for improvement using Ledarach's model for conflict transformation. Specifically, I want you to make one recommendation to addresses the Presenting Situation, one addressing the Horizon of Future, and one addressing the Change Process.

September 10, 2016: you’ve been assigned to investigate a hit-and-run incident. when you arrive at the scene, it’s raining and foggy. the roads are slick. it looks like the crash occurred during the early evening, about 5: 30 pm, a couple hours before dark. you notice a green 2010 chevrolet camaro lying off the road on an embankment and a blue 2014 toyota camry several yards back. both vehicles are damaged. robert b., the driver of the camaro, had severe back injuries and was taken to the hospital. the only witness is the toyota driver, fred h. fred h. was driving in the right lane when the accident occurred. according to fred, a red ford pickup truck (year and model unknown) suddenly swerved across the highway from the left lane. the pickup truck hit the front left side of the camaro in one of the center lanes, pushing it off the road before speeding away. the camaro lost control and sideswiped the toyota as it skidded across the highway, denting the toyota’s left side panels. the camaro then skidded across the grass to the right of the highway and crashed into a low concrete wall. the hood and both sides of the camaro have extensive damage. the toyota driver pulled up behind the camaro and called the police. the accident occurred near miami, florida, on i-95 northbound, a 5-lane highway. it happened just before the exit 16 offramp. fred h. and robert b. both passed breathalyzer tests. neither had any passengers in the car. as you search the scene, you notice: tire tracks/skid marks left on the pavement deep red scrapes across the camaro’s panels and green scrapes across the toyota’s panels broken car window fragments of a hood or panel a torn rag an empty beer can deep tire marks and footprints in the mud of the embankment at the scene use the information above to answer the following questions. for each of a – e above, give an example of a type of evidence you could collect from that item and how you would collect it. (one to two sentences each) fill out a crash form for the incident. use the form florida crash report and use the information in the description above to create a brief three- to five-sentence summary for the “narrative” section. use the witness’s description to draw a diagram of the incident. if you can’t find a piece of information for the form, just leave that part blank. impression evidence three separate tire marks were collected from the scene. the marks were found in a pattern that supports fred’s version of events. three tire tread marks, a, b, and c. tire a appears to be worn flat in the middle from overinflation, tire b is narrow and appears worn on the outside edges, tire c looks normal and is not worn at all tires leave different types of marks based on their wear patterns. for example, tires that are constantly flat will leave different impressions than tires that are normally inflated or overinflated. the tires tend to wear out on the parts that are most exposed to the road. you checked out the tires of the two vehicles at the scene. here’s what you found: two tires side by side. a camaro tire which appears to be in good shape, and a toyota tire which appears worn on the outside edges the camaro had normal tires, but the toyota’s tires were a little flat and overly worn on the outside edges. the condition of the red ford truck’s tires is unknown. match the three impressions with the cars that most likely created them. what can you hypothesize about the red pickup’s tires? could this have anything to do with the accident? explain your answer. (two to four sentences) a red pickup fitting fred’s description was later seen running a stoplight. police pulled it over for a check. its tire impressions looked like this: a single tire tread mark which appears worn on the outside edges based on the evidence, do you think this was the same red pickup that rammed the camaro? why or why not? (one to two sentences)
