Here are a few thoughts, as I've studied this issue for many years. In fact I have a presentation I give on this subject as part of the ACM distinguished lecturer program and the IEEE Computer Society's distinguished visitor program. 1) There actually have been academic programs called computer science engineering, but the name never caught on.
The color black represents strength, seriousness, power, and authority. Black is a formal, elegant, and prestigious color. Authoritative and powerful, the color black can evoke strong emotions and too much black can be overwhelming. In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.
It is a crime for one or more persons acting under color of law willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive another person of any right protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. (18 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 241, 242). Color of law simply means that the person doing the act is using power given to him or her by a governmental agency (local, State, or Federal). A law enforcement officer acts under color of law even if he or she is exceeding his or her rightful power. The types of law enforcement misconduct covered by these laws include excessive force, sexual assault, intentional false arrests, or the intentional fabrication of evidence resulting in a loss of liberty to another.
