After reviewing Darrel Stephens Police Discipline: A Case of Change, examine the two articles about two police-involved shooting incidents in Louisiana. Many have argued that the discipline issued in both incidents was motivated by race, but could other factors have helped to decide on the disciplinary techniques used in these incidents. Post a commentary addressing what role the departments, jurisdictions, laws and organizational culture play in leading to how these officers were disciplined. In addition, if you were the head of the agency these officers were assigned to, do you feel you would have administered the same form of discipline?

Officer who fatally shot Alton Sterling has been fired, other officer is suspended: BRPD

All commentaries must be at least two paragraphs or more in length.

Provide three references to support your commentary and list those references at the end of your commentary. (APA format your references- use website www.citefast.com to assist).

After, posting your commentary in the forum, pick two other classmates to provide feedback on their commentary on the topic.

Feedback should not be an I agree or I disagree answer, but rather an avenue to provide insight and introduce components that the person who wrote the commentary might not have thought about.
