Swat

more time trying to figure out who you are as a person and what you want to do with your life. So I finally settled on the selection of going into law enforcement for my career field of choice. I would like to be part of a K9 unit, then work toward SWAT, then reach my final step on where I really want to be a United States Marshall. In order for me to do the things I want, I am getting my bachelor degree in criminal justice first. Then I will go to a police academy and learn what I need to, in…

Growing up, I never thought losing family members would change my whole family’s perspective on things. When I was younger my cousin committed suicide, and a year later my uncle did too. I interviewed my aunt, my cousin’s mom, and I must say the interview went well. She started off by saying that what happened was devastating to her. What happened to all of us was quite tragic, but we all had to get through it. I believe suicide traumatizes entire families and requires serious counseling, yet…

The Thrill in the Kill…….And What it Does After Elham I. 8-1 I’m a deadbeat. There is no way to sugarcoat it (and frankly, I don’t want to). Being as profound and logical as I am, I decided to do something aside from my part-job at a convenience store: rob a bank. I probably would have gotten myself killed, but hey, no more having to reject minors for alcohol, right? Ember sprinkled my lap as I lit my cigarette. We were in the van headed toward the bank. I looked at my fellow criminals:…

were killed in the bathrooms, because they were trapped and couldn’t escape. Simply, there was no way out. Finally, eight clubgoers escaped at 4:21 AM, when police removed an air conditioning unit from the side of the building. Armoured vehicles and SWAT teams broke through the restroom walls about 5 AM. The few that were still alive and trapped in the restrooms fled out of the broken wall. Mateen had the same idea, and tried to exit the building too. A policeman saw him and shot him, and on…

coined in Superman #18 to define the unified threat of Japan and German armies (Harrington). More and more superheroes are being drawn into different propaganda positions like Captain Marvel. On one of his comic covers that is called, “Capt. Marvel Swats the Japs” in 1939. Daredevil, Batman, Robin, Cat-man, Green Hornet, etc. have all been seen battling against Adolf Hitler and all of them…

When one contemplates about a author that makes the reader analyze and investigate each individual word and action of the characters, William Shakespeare, George Orwell and Stephen King come to mind. However, one that makes the reader feel as if they were present in the character situation or time period is, Anton Chekhov. This brilliant author proposed many ideas about the Russian culture and their beliefs; an example can be seen as The Bet. From this story, one can investigate the question,…

The average American may struggle with something that is out of their control. In recent news, people have to have insurance or their other option is to pay a fine if they don’t have it. Healthcare insurance is one the most essential things to have because life is unpredictable and it is good to have if in case of emergency. Unfortunately, healthcare is not accessible to many people for a multitude of reasons. To further prove the difficulties that many people face with health insurance, the…

even if it was just the two of them face-to-face. Dr. Linda Woolf of Webster University argues that, unlike in television and movies, killing a person is much harder to do than portrayed, especially for one who isn’t professionally to do so, like a SWAT or military personnel. It may be even harder for a teacher if the shooter is a familiar former student, their hesitation potentially being enough for the intruder to act. Woolf also brings up what she refers to as the “Weapons Focus Effect”, an…

because all that is known about Miss Havisham coming into Satis House is she is part of an affluent family, and after Pip witnesses how Miss Havisham treats him and uses Estella for her own vendetta, using her status to attract men like flies and swat them down as such. However, even though Havisham is a deceitful character she does give Joe “five-twenty guineas”. but shuts Pip out of any further contact after Pip asks “Am I to come again, Miss Havisham”? (Dickens 73) This evidence indicates how…

On July 12, something beautiful happened, sparked by Malala Yousafzai’s birthday wish, thousands of people stood up with her to tell world leaders why they chose #booksnotbullets. Malala’s new campaign is another one of her many attempts to fight for the right to education, especially for girls. When I read the email from Malala’s organization, I knew what I had to do; join the cause. So I started reading the responses, thousands of people had responded to the hashtag, and many of the reasons…
