Discuss the relationship between law enforcement and the black community.

In an analysis conducted by Rutgers University in August 2019, about 1 in 1,000 black men can expect to die at the hands of police, advancing the argument that there is an unarguably contentious relationship between the police force and the black community –which is often over-policed. ​In a carefully researched argument, take a position that defends, challenges, or qualifies your position on the relationship between law enforcement and ​black Americans.

In fact, cutbacks have generated new words like “rightsizing” and “re-engineering.”Regardless of the language, an economic tailspin forces organizations to explain to laid-off employees that what’s bad for them is best for the company. At eBay, 1,500 employees lost their jobs in a program of “employee simplification.” At Yahoo, the CEO explained layoffs as a way for the company to “become more fit.”No matter how you look at it, people are worried about losing their jobs, and those who remain are worried about whether the company will stay in business.Experts differ on how to reveal possible workforce reductions. Should managers disclose the news indirectly and quietly? Or should they use the direct approach and announce loudly that they are taking forceful action to strengthen the organization in a dour economy? Some say that executives should use bland language to minimize the public relations fallout from mass firings. Vague explanations and even corporate jargon may be appropriate to reduce the negative effect on remaining employees and on recruiting new employees when the economy rebounds. Opaque language and euphemisms may lessen the impact of layoffs.Scenario:Your company has decided to lay off 10 percent of its workforce to maintain profitability. Although every department has participated in cost-cutting measures, expenses continue to mount, and sales are not where they should be.
