Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
in connection with policing, usually refers to the departments outreach efforts; many departments today recognize that they have lost touch with the people they are supposed to protect. In this

meant, in effect, removing Jasons face; they scraped all the way down to the bone (Arrillaga). Schechterle wasnt given much of a chance, but he fought like a tiger
