The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has substantially declined since the 1970s. Data shows that 2015 was one of the safest years for American policing in history, both in absolute terms and adjusted for population. FBI data also shows that police officers are being attacked and injured less frequently. While it would be unreasonable to think that being a police officer is risk-free , the bottom line is that it has never been safer to be a police officer. So why do police…

II. Diction In the novel War is... people talk about when they served in the military and how it was a very difficult time for them. There are multiple authors in this book so you hear a lot of different voices. The mood these authors all set for these stories they tell is very solemn and indifferent “For the people of one country to try to kill as many of the people of another country as possible makes no sense at all, in terms of our common humanity ” (Campbell 3). Occasionally some of the…

The Ping-Pong ball must land at any given distance within the range of 3 to 6 meters. The device designed is powered by the extension of two springs, and shoots a Ping-Pong ball through a PVC pipe, which acts as a barrel. Calibration was achieved by altering the extension of the springs. The method of testing…
So going into the second quarter we knew that they would start doing a full court pressure. It’s our ball at half court, and Katie threw the ball in to Bethany. She dribbled to the three point line and threw the ball to Lisa. She tries to shoot the ball but the other team hits it out of bounds. The ref called it as our ball. Katie called the play “red robin”, and we stacked under the basket. When she hit the ball for us to break, I ran to the foul shot line and she passes to me. I dribbled…

If that happens some would just go back for entertainment and some for fixing mistakes. Nevertheless, going back in time maybe would cause problems in the history, because maybe not everyone would know how to…
As I previously stated, one of the two reasons officers may shoot is in self-defense or at the defense of others. For example, if someone is pointing something that the officer may mistake for a gun, he can legally shoot the person. The second reason is to prevent escape when the suspect serves as a significant threat to the community. An example of this would be the 1985 court case between…
