Assignment 5a- identifying local opportunities


“Kessee family files lawsuit after jail death” by Jacob McGuire of Gainesville Daily Register.
-       A mentally ill black man, Marconia Kessee died over a year ago at the Cleveland county jail after being arrested Norman Police Officers Daniel Brown and Kyle Canaan after Norman Regional Hospital security staff shared with the officers that Kessee was examined and discharged but was refusing to leave the facility. Thus, kessee was found dead few hours later after being checked by medical staff while in jail. That is why a lawsuit was filed against those who they think are responsible, and they are asking for $75000.

-       The problem here is the fact a sick man is arrested and was ignored even though he was sick. Then they put him in jail and neglected his sickness until it’s too late.


-       It is very important for officers to make sure people that they arrest are not sick, and then make sure they get the right treatment needed once in jail.

“LETTER: Too many fire truck trips” by Staff Writer of Gainesville Daily Register.

-       The letter is about the numerous fire truck trips that are happening in Gainesville. The city sends fire trucks whenever there an EMS assist call. Those fire trucks are not necessary as they can be switched to fire rescue pickups. According to the article, this is a waste of the money of taxpayers. That money could be used to build better roads and still use some fire rescue pick-ups instead of the big trucks in Gainesville.


-       The problem here is the lack of being able to use the money that the city of Gainesville is getting in taxes efficiently. It is being wasted in extra fire rescue trucks that are not needed.

-       This concern the leaders in Gainesville that don’t have good vision, so they have to focus and know how to use the tax money in a great way.





“Woman killed in Norman train collision” by Mack Burke of Gainesville Daily Register.

-       A lady was killed in Norman train collision which happened last Friday around 9pm. She was the only person in the car before the collision and was the only victim. There is no identity release of the victim yet, but the accident caused 2 hours of delay of the train. Also, one of the passengers of the train named Stoner mentioned that train collisions are frequent in Norman, Oklahoma.


-       The problem is the ignorance of a driver that has caused its death. That same ignorance could have caused the death of some other passengers in the train.

-       It is very significant to follow the rules of traffic. As I know, there is always a stop sign once you approached a train rail, and the road actually closes when a train is coming. So, the problem is definitely then car driver.


“Oklahoma ranks in top 5 for break-ins, study finds” by Cass Rains.
-       Oklahoma is ranked number 4 from the states with the most break-ins in USA. This is due to the residents who don’t lock their houses which causes more than 40% of non-forcible entry in houses. Also, there are 67% of burglaries that happens to residence in 2017. According to the article, break-ins are done to businesses, residences and cars. Sergeant John has given some advices that will help avoiding those break-ins such as locking doors, take valuable items out of the cars, and using security cameras which are cheap.
-       The problem is that there are several break-ins in Oklahoma that are happening because of the people that don’t care about their properties. Residents could have made it less frequent, and Oklahoma would have not been ranked in the top 5 states with the most break-ins.
-       Resident that don’t take care of what belongs to them can be victims. You leave your laptop in the car where it can be seen, you forget to lock your door while you’re going out of town, someone will use as an opportunity to break-in.


“Man gets prison time on assault charges” by Megan Gray-Hatfield.

-        Harry Vega Cruzado was found guilty by a jury of Cooke county after assaulting his wife. He was sentenced to 41 years in prison. Before that, he had some negative records such as two sentences before the current one. His wife told the police that she was abused by Harry for 2 years, and she was getting hit, abused verbally and choked. It is a very sad story.



-        The problem here is that a lady that is supposed to be a happy wife is being abused for 2 years. Also, a guy with that kind a record should’ve stayed in jail in order to prevent future offenses.

-        The wife should have left instead of waiting for two years before denouncing her husband. Also, the husband should put his hands on his wife if he really had some love for her. I can say that both individuals can be blamed.
