In their day to day, on-duty social interaction with the public, politely and with respect - and in carrying out their "official" contacts, and in the execution of their offical duties, politely but firmly - and if they meet force, quickly escalate their response so that THEY and not the other person has the advantage.

What are the police brutality laws?

Police brutality laws refer to laws that have been put in place to protect citizens from misconduct by police officers. These laws vary from state to state and are designed to provide a level of accountability for law enforcement officers. Generally police brutality laws make it illegal for officers to use excessive force or to act in a way that violates a persons rights. The laws also provide a way for people to file a complaint against an officer in the event that they feel their rights were violated. Generally police brutality laws include the following: A prohibition on the use of excessive force A requirement that officers use only the amount of force necessary to complete their duty A requirement that officers treat all citizens equally and with respect A prohibition on discriminatory profiling A requirement that officers report any incidents of excessive force A requirement that officers be held accountable for their actionsThese laws are designed to ensure that police officers are held to a high standard of conduct and that citizens are protected from misconduct. It is important for citizens to be aware of their rights and to know how to file a complaint if they feel their rights have been violated.


Why you should respect people in a public place?

You need to always treat people how you want to be treated.


Do I have to smell drugs in my apaRTMENT of public housing Manager does nothing?

I live in an apartment complex. Never mind the Management: treat the matter as if it was a neighborhood. Besides, the complex is a community. You need to report any drug activities to the police, not Management. Many Housing projects owned by a housing authority have their own police department and such activities should be reported to them.


What can you ask police?

If you are a police officer you would not need to ask. A police officer doing his duty will treat another police officer as any member of the public (if they are out of uniform and off duty).


Where can you get a list of stockholders of a public company?

You can't generally get them all. You can get the 10% owners and key officers from publicly filed documents with the SEC. Otherwise, in the US, most companies treat the specifics of minority owners as private and confidential.


Should we respect public property rights?

Yes. Because something does not belong solely to you, since you may be using it (you at least have the opportunity to), you should respect it and work to keep it in good condition. This applies to all things: roads, schools, PUBLIC BATHROOMS(PLEASE!), parks, land, historical places (including museums), airports, and even lesser known objects, such as public railroads and train cars. In practice, few people respect public property and treat it as their own, but as a "shareholder" (taxpayer) you should rightfully view public utilities as partially yours and treat it as best as you can.


How should you treat your in-laws?

Is it police is coming or police are coming?

The police "is" coming because it is a group so you would treat it like it is singular and 3rd person. It may not sound right, but 'are' is for multiple subjects.

No, its part of our rights as humans to all be treated equally. It doesn't matter what you did or who you hurt, no one should be treating anyone any differently then how they would want to be treated.
