Blog 5 assignment

Hello readers, today i ill revisit one of my posted blogs and re-write it.


in the book. Zeitoun is forced out of his home by unmarked policemen (believed to be from companies trying to keep order) most likely because of how he looks and his skin color, when he arrives in prison, he is denied a phone call and was labeled a terrorist by the people who arrested him. I call this Federal injustice, when the government fails to keep order of it's own people, they hire companies to do the dirty work for them. An example of this is in the book, Zeitoun is thrown into a vehicle to be sent to prison he asks "why am i being jailed", the policemen tell him "i don't know, I'm from India"(Zeitoun 209), showing that the man was most likely hired by other people outside of the country to help keep the peace. The police also use extreme force to control a person that did not resist, it's just plain wrong. Another example of this is when Zeitoun is calling for help and he is completely ignored by the police who are there to save people. When the people need the power of the government to help them in their time of need, you shouldn't let companies do the work for you, they don't care about the people, only what's in their bank accounts. But i also strongly believe that this will also happen in new york once another major disaster happens, i recall this martial law being implemented in queens where there was mass looting and crime.
