heart of Tangerine, by the citrus, and his friends. Like when going to a match with his soccer team, the War Eagles, his teammates marvel at the pretty gates and nice neighborhoods, commenting how it was like a movie, Paul is thinking “It was like a movie- like a movie set, anyway- painted on plywood and propped up on two-by-fours” (188). Paul is seeing his neighborhood through eyes that have seen the lies and deception that cling to the walls surrounding it. He can see past the gilded gates and the fake turf and see the paint peeling on the inside, and how it is not as perfect as it looks. Much like Paul’s family, there are dark secrets under the pretty exterior. Everything turns on a dime though when Paul’s memory is triggered by the spray paint on his wall saying “Seagulls suck” and the text flashes back. “And I remembered Erik’s fingers prying my eyelids open while Vincent Castor sprayed white paint into them” (263-4). In that memory Paul has now gained full insight into his past and how his mom and dad kept a secret from him for so long. Furthermore Paul can see it was not his fault for the loss of his sight, and he could see he was not “the stupid kid who looked at a…
know you could have been in deep trouble, we understand that you want to protect your friend, you can’t lie about something this serious, someone died!” “Yes sir I understand.” “You are free to go home.” Adam walks to his house, runs up to his room, slams the door, and punches the wall. “Why didn’t I just lie? Why? It’s all my fault Scott would not be dead and Joseph would not be in jail, if I hadn’t suggested to go drinking. Tears came rolling down Adam’s cheeks. A week later, George…
Good morning/ afternoon guys and Mr. Tobin. My topic today is “Should Victoria police carry Taser guns?” On March 18, 2012, Brazilian student Roberto Curti tragically died in Sydney. He had stolen only two packets of biscuits and as a result, he was chased by 6 police officers. They fired Tasers at him 14 times each delivering a charge up to 50,000 volts to his body, more than enough to stop his heart from beating. Curti’s death is at least the fifth death in Australia after a Taser shooting. It…
3. What are the causes and effects of non-lethal weapons, in regards to Tasers and pepper spray on a suspect? 4. When a subject is sprayed with pepper spray, can OC cause the death of a suspect from not being able to breathe? 5. What impacts do non-lethal weapons have on society? The use of less-lethal force by law enforcement personnel started in the “1960s during the civil rights and anti-war movements” (Wilson…
Title: Everything About Hydrophobic Spray Description- A hydrophobic spray is mainly used for making a surface water-proof but it needs to be used carefully due to its easily damaging nature. A hydrophobic spray is also called hydrophobic coating and it is basically a nanoscopic layer which repels water. The droplets that hit this spray can rebound in a column shape or like a pancake. This coating is made of different materials which include zinc oxide polystyrene, manganese oxide polystyrene,…
expanding technology for non lethal weapons (Hambling, 2005). When new technology comes out for non lethal weapons there is sometimes a generational block which limits number of officers who can actually use the weapon (Hambling, 2005). Age plays a factor on how someone is able to operate or use the new technology. Some people simply cannot learn the new tool or system and resort to older less advanced technology (Hambling, 2005). For others using a new tool or weapon comes naturally and is…
Bobby enjoyed tagging because it energized or relaxed him to do it. One day when Bobby was going to be late to school because of the baby he dropped the baby off with a friend called Coco and suddenly found extra time he wasn't used to having. What Bobby did with that time was collect four spray paint cans, go to a restaurant called Mineo's and then finally head to where he was tagging. When Bobby arrived to where he was tagging he decided to paint a picture of a young man and a baby going…

While mayo is a widely accepted food in our society, it is only acceptable in small amounts. As a condiment, it would be viewed as foul to eat it in large portions. The wafer dipping sticks looked almost identical to a brand of dog treats that we found while shopping. Dog treats are generally not consumed by people. Lastly, we put the blue Gatorade in a plastic spray bottle. Not wanting to specifically put it into a Windex bottle, we took a Windex sticker and just stuck it to the outside of our…
and launchers are the only ones that got upgrades, the traditional TASER is not able to shot a longer distance with the XREP. “The XREP is essentially a long-range wireless version of the traditional taser, firing plastic shells that each contain sharpened electrodes, a battery, a transmitter, and a microprocessor”(Hager). Now that the TASER is able to shoot farther, law enforcement are now able to stop an existing threat without having to draw deadly force. Some threats may also need to be put…
