Operational Command in the Case
Sir Ian Blair left the Metropolitan Police amid a great deal of scandal over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. De Menezes was not guilty of anything, but was mistaken for someone else and shot. Blair and others in the Met attempted to cover up what had happened, because they did not want to be charged with any kind of crime. Ultimately, however, the Met was found guilty and fined a considerable sum of money. Blair also left.

Pacifism -- a Doctrine of Non-Violence Pacifism
Pacifism is a theory which provides the basis of anti-violence behavior. It is an ideology which defines the permissibility of violence on the basis of morality and ethics. Where pacifism is appreciated and consider as a necessary behavior required for having stability in a society as it promotes tolerance; a lot of criticism has also been made on this particular theory. It is said that Pacifists are inconsistent. For they consider violence (or war) an absolute evil; but an absolute evil must be resisted by all necessary means, and pacifists reject using violence (or war) even when it is such a necessary means. The strict nature of this theory gives rise to a confused situation where decision regarding justification of war and violence, is difficult to ascertain.
Pacifism is the fundamental ideology of all those who are against initiating and contributing in a war. Other than just being against warfare, it further asserts that repellent use of force against force is not justified and is immoral. Hence, Pacifism provides a just model which if duly followed can help in eliminate all the evils in the society.

Racial Profiling the Distinguished Harvard Professor Henry
The essay is an argument on the injustice of racial profiling. Racial profiling is the practice of law enforcement officers in stopping an individual of a certain race or ethnicity and investigating them based on their ethnicity. Such practices may occur in traffic routines, guns or drugs (African Americans), illegal immigration (Hispanics or Latinos), or in matters connected with security (Muslims and Arabs).
Racial profiling was authorized in 2001 with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, a division of the Office of Justice Programs, United States Department of Justice, establishing the web-based Racial Profiling Data Collection Resource Center. The website was designed to train police officials in the ropes and tactics of racial profiling and also served as clearing house for police agencies, legislators, community leaders, social scientists, legal researchers, and journalists all of which can be used to collect and formulate racial profiling analyses (*The Institute on Race and Justice at Northeastern University. (2011).). In 2003, however, the Department of Justice issued its Guidance Regarding the Use of Race by Federal Law Enforcement Agencies forbidding the practice of racial profiling by federal law enforcement officials (*Amnesty International USA.(2007)
