Tactical Training is something that is huge for the criminal justice classes to learn and to practice over and over again. We must learn to protect ourselves in times of need and when to use certain force while working in the field. Last Friday we worked on our leg sweep and had worked with different genders and different body types. Mr. Lavery had explained that we are not always going to be faced with someone who is the same gender of us and the same weight of us. So we could be faced with someone who is high on something and has an adrenaline dump and may have way more strength than us and we may have to take them down using a different take down technique.
Mass Spectrophotometry was what we are working on for forensics. It's a machine that separates the two atoms based on their masses. Spectrophotometry is something that helps forensics scientist classify drugs or determined what an unknown substance or powder is. The mass one has more parts than the one that uses light waves. The mass spectrophotometer uses energy to break bonds from the electrons so that they can be moved throughout the machine and hit the detector. The detector allows the forensic scientist to take the test results and analyse it to determine what the substance is.
When Mr. Lavery had been absent we had Mr. C and we worked on our Spanish commands. We went into the lab room and worked with varies partners to place them under arrest using all Spanish. We had also worked out and had learned how to work out our core by just sitting and lifting your legs up and down using balance. When we came back to the room we had watched Dallas swat and learned more about how the swat team works. They have briefing time and than they have to carefully plan how they will make entry almost keeping in mind that the circumstances that they have thought of during briefing may change. He or she may not be home or they may be armed so they have to be prepared for all situations.
The unit that we are on is police patrol, we have been taking notes on this for a couple days now. The topic of police patrolling has not changed a lot throughout time. Just the technology has changed and dramatically advanced over the last thirty years. As we took notes it made me realize that a lot of different calls are put into a different department. But an emergency is different to everyone so one that may be an injury is important for everyone but an animal in the backyard may not be real risk or real emergency so it gets transferred to another agency. When the agency may be closed like animal control the officer will have to take the call if he or she is on patrol.
Food Dispute Led to Ohio Murder-Suicide-
The husband of a woman dying of cancer had committed murder than killed himself once everything was said and done. The husband had peeled an orange for his wife and before he had the chance to give it to her someone else had come and given her tea and toast. He had been really upset about this and left the living room to go get a gun. He than decided to shot everyone in the house except the son who had children and the woman dying, his wife. This man, her husband, he been in jail for over 10 years for the murder of another man and when he had been released from jail he changed his name and moved.
This article definitely grasped my attention because it is such a little thing, but sometimes they can be the last straw. He may have had a lot of anger held inside of him and the tea and toast was the last thing he could deal with. But killing everyone and than killing yourself seems insane to me and makes me wonder if that man would have always been crazy and would have become a serial killer if he continued his life after the death of some many people his wife loved.
