The Rookies

it comes to the police force. Some of the earliest police corruption can be traced back to the late 1800s. For over 120 years, police have been using their badges, uniforms, and power to get what they want. All officers start off the same way: as rookies of the police force. Over time, they can work their way up the rankings and eventually venture off into the path of being a good cop or a corrupt one. Even though this problem is hard to deal with, it’s slowly being solved. Generally, police…

The NBA season is well underway, and teams are gaining a clearer picture of their rotations and paths towards success. An infusion of youth has made the NBA exciting this season, but who are the most impactful/most disappointing rookies from this year's class? Let's take a look, shall we. Best: Pascal Siakam: The young power forward wasn't projected by many to go in the first round, but went 27th overall to the Toronto Raptors. He's responded by becoming an analytical darling, recording 1.1…

of a program of rigorous physical training and initiation. Picking on rookie players has become a tradition for many football teams. They make the rookies do the “dirty” work, which is work that they do not want to do. The information recorded on The Learning Network by Michael Gonchar tells readers in a nutshell that, “older players make the rookies lug around bags and equipment and sometimes leave them tapped to goalposts.” Something that is seemingly good and fun to one person, can be clearly…

The Los Angeles Dodgers is a professional baseball team that is a part of the Major League Baseball (MLB). The team is originally from Brooklyn, New York, and the name “dodgers” originated from people who were trying to dodge the trolleys in Brooklyn (Los Angeles Dodgers: Timeline). When the Brooklyn Dodgers came under new ownership of Walter O’Malley, he decided to move the team to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for four years. In 1962, the Los…

Mob mentality is how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors. I would describe the police rookies experience with force as mob mentality. The other cops are persuading and making it acceptable to use force when not necessary which has now become a widespread problem. Media is now only picking up on police brutality and if this behavior continues it is never going to end. I believe that our society's fatal flaw is our willingness to follow mob mentality. Many are willing…

“I thought he had a typical first day,” said Lovie Smith on 1st overall pick Jameis Winston’s first day with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “We saw a lot of good things today.” Sure, Winston is a very talented player, a BCS National Champion, and the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner; but unfortunately the name ‘Jameis Winston’ draws to mind a lot more than his accomplishments on the field. His career has been shrouded in scandal and misbehavior since he arrived at Florida State, with the rape allegation…

all these accords. Many believe that it was a lack of supervision. I learned that to every four rookie on patrol, there should be one lieutenant or sergeant supervising. But, there isn’t enough Lieutenants or Sergeants to conduct supervision. So rookies were sent out on patrol in pairs of two, with just 6 months of training. Another reason was the lack of training, many polices officers already on the job informed me that they didn’t feel completely prepare for the job after training. Some…

In the article “Underachievement Among College Students” by Megan Balduf states that some high-accomplishing understudies don't scrutinize their scholastic achievement. They do well and are content with the study abilities they have created to guarantee that they accomplish their objectives. On the other hand, these students, whose high schools thought of them as achievers, experience challenges and occasionally disappointment in circumstances where they had beforehand experienced achievement.…

2015 marks the time when the Toronto Raptors will have six free agents on the team. In light of the fact that the center position is considered the most important position combined with the fact that the two center players that have been signed are rookies, there is an implicit problem facing Dwane Casey as well as the managers of the only Canadian basketball team in the NBA. That problem is what to offer Greg Stiemsma, the senior most center player currently playing for the Raptors, as an…
