I encourage you to please take the time out of your day to read this piece.

Ramsey Orta, the man behind the video of Eric Garner’s death has endured constant unjust acts while being imprisoned. Officers have attempted to poison his meals as an act of revenge for documenting police brutality. It’s incredibly astonishing that this has continued to go on for so long. Officers have literally told him it would be better for him to kill himself instead of being locked up.

There needs to be ongoing conversation about this to address these unjust acts. This is beyond inhumane. I’m so saddened to have learned that this is happening, but without news like this, the world would be unaware.

The story of Ramsey Orta is one of continued and unending police harassment.

8 second video. Police brutality clearly shown.

Apparently the man bit the officer, but that does not constitute to beatings. One of the officers, closes the door. What will happen to the poor man? Will he suffer from life threatening injuries? But more importantly, when will this stop??? This is an act of injustice. Police officers must be trained more appropriately to handle such occurrences.

The UDHR is a distinguished document that describes the basic human rights for all individuals around the world. Despite 48 countries signing, often times they are not reinforced and the rights are overlooked. Many people are also unaware that this document exists, which is a problem in-and-of itself.

Several Articles specifically outline rights of individuals in the criminal justice system, but yet, they are disregarded especially because the UN has no legal authority to exert pressure on countries that decide to pick and choose or blatantly ignore the document.

Adam Foss describes the need for a better justice system that "replaces wrath with opportunity, changing people's lives for the better instead of ruining them."

When a kid commits a crime, the US justice system has a choice: prosecute to the full extent of the law, or take a step back and ask if saddling young people with criminal records is the right thing to do every time. In this searching talk, Adam Foss, a prosecutor with the Suffolk County District At...
