Police Officers vs Minority/ Deontology and Consequentialism

Half a Page answer for this Topic

For the past several years, there have been incidents of police officers involved in the deaths of African-American and Latino men and in many of these cases, police officers were not indicted and/or convicted when brought to trial. These cases have brought about a wide range of emotions, conversations, policy proposals, protest and actions.
Studies of Americans’ unconscious beliefs shows that most people — White and Black — think Black and Latino people are dangerous and both average folks and police are quicker to shoot minorities than White people.

Where does this cognitive belief that Blacks and Latinos are dangerous come from? Also, Why do Blacks and Latinos tend to have more negative views about the police than non-Latino whites do?

• Deontology and Consequentialism (most often referred to as Utilitarianism) are two of the primary schools of ethical decision-making. After completing this week’s readings and viewing the videos, discuss why you consider yourself more of either a ‘deontologist’ or ‘utilitarian.’ Also, consider the following situation: You are walking through the woods and come to a clearing. You see 10 people standing at gun point. For our purposes, you know they are all equally innocent people (none deserve to die more than any other). The men with the guns inform you that they want you to pick one person that will die and then they will let the other 9 go free. If you do not choose, they all die. There are no other options such as choosing yourself (though a noble choice) or defeating the gunmen. Will you choose? If so, how? If not, how do you justify your decision?
