As an ethical consideration, officers are expected to avoid discrimination against colleagues or people on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or others factors that might have them targeted.

A problem with police has been around for a long time. But, recently it has started to make a comeback in an alarming way. Nowadays, a lot of people don't like the police and nobody knows when this hatred for the police will start to die down. Both sides of the argument have valid points on why the police are being treated this way.

As a result of fighting against the social injustice between the authority and Blacks, conflicted groups create a type of hidden understanding and unity with one another. In many scenes of the film, “hot” has been a term to define the intensity of an argument, but as we see toward the end of the film, we observe that the “hottest” scene occurs during an anticipated cold evening. After the minor fight between Sal and Radio Raheem breaks loose, Da Mayor tries to separate the two; however, he isn’t
unpacking the issue around the argument made by Paul Gormley about the Black Realism and how that concept is shown through the two chosen films Boyz in the Hood and Tsotsi, and how although each film are different in context, they have similarities especially with the topic of black masculinity. This essay will argue the various layers that are tackled in the discussion of black masculinities, and how the characters within both films are portrayed as such to support this argument that as black people, we
