It is very important for a job like this where lives are at risk, for your “street smarts” to be sharp, a paper and pencil test does not test for these skills. It seems as if most of America’s Fire Departments have rejected the paper and pen test and are using other methods to choose qualified candidates for promotion. The use of assessment centers and on-the-job challenges are common
Portfolio Project #3 No suppression for ‘no knock’ search Hudson was upset because he felt the entry of his home was unlawful and a violation of the knock-and-announce rule. Hudson argued that, police will now feel that they can skip past the knock-and-announce rule with no exclusionary rule sanction. Hudson brought forth that there were a few published decisions to date that announced big damage awards for numerous knock-and-announce violations. Hudson felt there wasn’t a difference in his case. Antonin Scalia noted that the “knock-and-announce” rule is constitutionally mandated.
Article One The purpose of the article is to state why Measure Q, a proposition on the November 2004 ballot in the city of Berkeley, is negative and should not be passed. Measure Q it set up to make enforcement of all prostitution laws the lowest priority of Berkeley's police department. Mr. Weitzer claims that there are three main reasons why this law would not solve the social problem of prostitution. First, the author of Measure Q does not provide adequate statistics to support their claims. Furthermore, author of Measure Q tries to validate it by mentioning privacy rights,
The problem here is that once you start camping out on City Halls doorstep, you are interfering with the rights of others to use public property. Also, these protesters have very twisted ideas about free speech. Like most demented liberals, you are free to speak, only if you agree with their political views/opinions. Community activist Zuma Dogg found that out the hard way when he went down to Los Angeles City Hall and set up his microphone and tried to do some "free speech." He ended up getting attacked by an angry mob within one minute of starting his speech.
She states that if we continue to participate we will be a “repressive society” which to me seems very one sided, she speaks to everyone in this essay, because she wants everyone to know that if you participate in the pc, we are not only being ridiculous but we are being a “repressive society.” This essay, or what seems to be an essay, is not an effective argument because of the way she argues, she does not see things from both sides, but she chooses to voice her side and why she thinks it is ridiculous! By just reading the essay once, made me believe that this is not a great essay or argumentative essay why? Because she just argues her point and not seeing it through how other people think of it, just her point of view. As I have stated in my introduction,
This in our eyes is a morbid and gruesome way to be brought down, and the thought that it was almost voluntary and the whole town participates women, men, and children is more then most can stomach. In our minds he who is with out sin shall cast the first stone. Jackson was making a point to Americans through The Lottery that societies are not all as innocent as they believe themselves to be, thus no stone should ever be cast. She illuminated this point through the townspeople's belief that there is no inherent evil in the annual stoning of an innocent victim, because they themselves are without sin. The reader is, nevertheless, incensed by such an act.
When the judges attempt to accuse Proctor because he had plowed on Sunday, Hale curiously says, “Your Honor, I cannot think you may judge the man on such evidence.” He realizes the court’s methods are peculiar and not very justifiable. The end of Act Three is a major turning point in the play as well as in Hale’s character. The girls are feigning an attack by Mary Warren and Hale comes to realize the girls have been playing everyone the entire time. He becomes so frustrated with the court that he decides to quit. It was an audacious move for Hale to leave Salem, but even more so for him to return.
The phrase ‘death chariots’ with their association of death, violence and destruction has the intended affect to fear readers of these manic, destructive young teens. It is this appeal to fear which evokes activity in the community to promote a change in society. Wowser also refers to the waste of ‘our tax dollar on a futile and ineffective effort to lower road toll by advertising’ reiterating that the law in place is not desired. This evokes hostility and a want for change in readers. Wowser adds an appeal to community service in saying it is rare ‘to find a young person who is a member of the Salvation Army’.
Which is why he remained silent for a decade after his voice was played over and over again on the news. Dennis Rader knew that strangling victims and binding them was wrong, he feared police catching him, and Dennis didn’t care if he lost the respect of his church, his scouts or family. Rader also let the sexual pleasure he gained from the crimes control his actions. It was his choice to plan out the murders and follow through with them. This is a perfect example of the rational choice theory (Siegel, 2008 p.84).
