What is your definition of a righteous police officer?

Learning Goal: I’m working on a criminal justice multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

1. PREVIEW BOTH THE MOVIE AND ITS LESSON. THE LESSON AND MOVIE ARE IN THE SAME SEQUENCE.
2. WITHIN THE LESSON, DECIDE WHICH QUOTES, QUESTIONS, AND VOCABULARY TO FOCUS ON. HIGHLIGHT OR CUT-AND-PASTE CONTENT YOU PLAN TO USE.
3. ESTIMATE HOW YOU’LL USE AVAILABLE TIME FOR BOTH WATCHING AND DISCUSSING THE MOVIE.
4. REMEMBER: MOST QUESTIONS IN THE LESSON ARE EASY FOR A NATIVE SPEAKER OF ENGLISH TO ANSWER, SO THE MOVIE ITSELF IS THE ANSWER KEY.
Answer the following questions, we will discuss them in class:

What is your definition of a righteous police officer?
What is your definition of an unethical act?
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that a police officer used an unethical method to make an arrest?
How would you describe the average citizen’s perception of a police officer that used an unethical act in order to get a “bad guy” off the streets?
When Denzel and Ethan go to visit the Spanish gangsters towards the end and Denzel gives the presents, Is the money inside the blender for them to kill Ethan’s character, or is it simply he owed some money? If then the money wasn’t for them to kill him what reason did they have to kill him?
Why didn’t the gangbangers kill Alonzo at the end? Did he just get away with no trouble? I thought they were going to kill him because he was hated in the neighborhood.
After the incident at Rogers, where an officer was shot, both Jake and Alonzo are back out on the street in a very short time. One would think they’d be tied up giving started m statements, etc, for the rest of the day, and put onto leave after such a dramatic situation. How is it that they are back in action such a short time after an incident of that magnitude?
What exactly is Alonzo asking the three wise men for at the restaurant? Do they give him the go-ahead to steal from and kill Roger? And more importantly, are the three wise men, corrupt cops, like Alonzo?
