You are patrolling the Centervale industrial park at 11:45 p.m. You see two youths in their mid-20s walking from the closed industrial center area toward a local transportation center. They are talking animatedly, seemingly in a rush, and carrying small athletic bags. As this is your patrol area, you know that there are no open industrial buildings and that the night cleaning crews are already gone.

 

 

 

You stop the two youths to ascertain their business in the area. Neither of the youth wants to cooperate; both seem to be in a hurry and mention that they “will miss their bus.” Will you let the two youths proceed?

I need at least 50 words responding to the following post.

 

 

In 1990, a guy by the name of David Koresh formed a group of followers who believed in the book of revelation as an apocalyptic in the New Testament of the bible who called themselves Branch Davidians.  Koresh was a high school drop out that possessed a young charismatic religious belief.  Koresh’s followers called him, “The Lamb of God.”  The group formed outside Waco, Texas in a well-built compound built to survive judgment day. 

A mailman, in 1992, noticed a partially opened package that contained grenades.  The mailman reported this to the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).  An investigation was opened on the group and Koresh.  As a result, a search warrant was granted to search the compound of weapons and explosives. 

February 23, 1993, a 75 man tactical team formed outside the compound for a raid, which was met with force.  Four agents, and six of Koresh’s followers were killed.  This incident lasted for 5 days.  The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) assumed control over the raid once it commenced.  The FBI started a raid them selves containing tear gas and armored vehicles.  All equipment being used in the raid was fire retardant and would not cause bodily harm to individuals inside. 

Time passed by and negotiations were initiated.  Attorney Janet Reno gave the order to commence with a full-scale attack at six o clock in the morning on April 19, 1993.  At five fifty five on the morning on April 19, 1993, FBI agents contacted the group to inform them a raid was in progress.  A member threw out a phone to negotiate but nearly six hours later everyone was dead.  Minutes passed by six o clock and the raid began in full force with tear gas plus armored vehicles crashing into walls as they crumbled to the ground.  At eleven forty five, a white sheet was hung outside a compound window that read in orange lettering, “We want our phones fixed.”  Noon approached and the compound walls from the outside were down and the interior roof had collapsed.  Shortly after the hour, smoke was reported as being seen by the FBI.  Flames began to spread throughout the compound but fire trucks arrived after thirty minutes passed and the building by then had entire collapsed in flames.  Twelve forty five arrived and the entire three-story compound was full of melted ammunition and grenades.  Helicopters began to carry out the victims burned in the fire and transported them to a nearby Hospital located in Dallas. 

Post interviews prints a very vivid story of the events in Waco, Texas surrounding the April 19, 1993 incident.  Established expert, Carlos Ghigliotti, an expert at thermal imaging and videotape analysis for the FBI believes the acts that day were not as stated to Congress.  Ghigliotti believes and FBI agent fired shots towards the compound during the raid.  After reviewing the footage from multiple angles, Ghigliotti believes without a doubt that shots were fired.  It’s understood that the Davidians fired shots but the FBI reported no shots being fired in their affidavit to Congress.  The rules of engagement were straightforward and its believed FBI agents fired multiple automatic weapons shots behind the compound out of media eyesight.  A notable mention would also be the note Koresh wrote surrendering himself after he completed his writing.  The use of military officials also showed the Posse Comitatus Act was violated in the use of millions of dollars worth of equipment and members. 

The leadership changes would have occurred by following protocol.  It seems as if the FBI wanted this incident over fast due to the rapid perception and media attention this was drawing.  I believe the leaders skipped a few steps in order to achieve the objective of ceasing this incident.  It could have been avoided if leaders would have communicated the correct information in order that the correct decisions and solutions would have been properly initiated.  The leadership changes should have occurred once the incident progressed over the course of the days.  The ATF jumped the gun with this one and the FBI covered up the dirty laundry so the perception is that all is well and the individuals in the compound caused the reckless acts of violence.

Please use peer reviewed material and cite the source.  This is a response to this post listed below.

Will pay the 3.00 up fron to avoid your fees from PAYPAL

 

A)   The labeling theory is most important when it comes to children.  This theory has been around as early as the 1950’s with the work of Becker and Lemert.  Edwin Lemert made the distinction between primary deviance, and secondary deviance.  When children are in school around teachers and peers, they seem to transform or take on the role of the students they are around.  Most talkative students group together so they can talk.  A lot of children who misbehave seem to group together as well.  You can also add a child who is not so talkative to the same group who has been labeled as the “talkative group”, and eventually they will also assume that role along with the rest of the group.  Although there was no desire to change in the first place it still happened.  I have noticed as a parent that even my children change depending on whom they are “hanging” around at that time.  The activities they are interested in doing even change. For example I have a 12 year old and at home my other children have joked around and said she is going to be a bully.  She is a lot taller than the average 12 year old in 6th grade at the middle school she attends.  I have never had any sort of problems with her being anything but sweet, kind, and very friendly, she was the complete opposite of a bully.  The first year of middle school I got two parents knocking on my door (her former friends) saying she had been making fun of their children and also threatening to beat them up.  I take bullying very serious, but honestly before the second parent came I was on complete denial about it until the second parent came.  I asked my other children and they told me yes, they think she is because she is so tall and she had started hanging with a new crowd of girls and boys labeled as trouble makers, therefore she was also labeled as a troublemaker and actually became one (secondary deviance).  Needless to say I nipped that in the bud, and got to the root of the problem.  I never knew how much being called something could actually transform you into something that you are not.  Also add the fuel of a “bad” crowd can have major influence on individuals.

1. John was driving his car in a careless way, failing to drive as a reasonably prudent person would under the driving conditions. Ramona was crossing the street in a careless way, failing to cross as a reasonably prudent person would. John struck and injured Ramona with the car John was driving. At the trial, it was determined that John was 80 percent at fault and Ramona was 20 percent at fault. The injuries sustained amounted to $100,000. Explain how much, if any, recovery Ramona would receive in a state that applies the contributory negligence rule. Do the same thing for a state that applies the comparative negligence rule.

 

2. An art collector commissioned an artist to create a sculpture for the collector. The artist wanted a substantial amount of money for the sculpture. This caused the collector some worry regarding possible dissatisfaction with the artwork once it was completed. To ensure that payment would be made only if the collector was satisfied with the sculpture, a condition was written into the commission contract. It required that the collector would have to be satisfied with the artwork, relying on the collector’s taste and judgment, before an obligation of payment would be created. The artist imagined that a collector could possibly refuse a creation of his and allowed the condition to be placed within the contract. At the completion of the sculpture, the collector claimed that she did not care for the artwork and therefore refused to pay. Can the artist force payment in this situation? Would it help if the artist could establish that the collector actually approves of the sculpture but has temporarily run short on funds, and that this is the true motivating factor in refusing to accept the sculpture?

 

3. Rundles,Kreiger, and Larson formed a partnership to breed and show horses. Rundles and Kreiger each contributed $25,000 to the partnership. Larson contributed four(4) horses valued at 25,000. The partnership agreement provided that the partners would share profits equally. When the horses failed to perform as expected, Rundles and Kreiger decided to reduce Larson’s share of the profits. Larson claims that this decision mut be unanimous to be binding. How will the case be decided?

 

4. The Miller family, who operates a musical instrument manufacturing concern, has decided to incorporate. The three (3) members of the Miller family, Mary, Mark and Sue, would like to become a corporation and obtain limited liability; however, taxation at the corporate level would be very costl for them. If possible, Mary Miller would rather be taxed as a partnership. Mark Miller is worried about the additional paperwork and meetings that incorporation would surely bring. Sue Miller does not want a large board of directions to be formed. Sue fears tha the board would somehow detract from the family goals and orientation the business has always enjoyed. In light of these concerns, is there a corporate form that would better suit the Miller family?

Discussion Thread Question Assignment: Bivens and You

/in /by

You are required to read the article on Bivens from Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology. The purpose of this article is to understand that a law enforcement officer is not immune from civil lawsuits.

Where once police and law enforcement agencies thought themselves immune, civil lawsuits against law enforcement officers are quite common nowadays. These lawsuits are based on whether the law enforcement officers correctly followed the guidelines meant to protect the citizens, guaranteed by the Constitution.

The purpose behind Bivens is to some extent protect private citizens from police misconduct. The other side of the coin is that if we so circumscribe the actions of officers, citizens may not be protected from the criminal acts of others. The point of the assignment is for you to begin to recognize this balancing act.

 

What You Are Required to Do . . .

 

Research on the Internet or the Argosy University Online Library and find some cases where officers have been sued in civil court for failing to follow the guidelines meant to protect the citizens from police misconduct.

 

Submission Details:

 

in a minimum of 250 words, post your responses to the following topics

  • Describe a lawsuit, the issues involved in the trial, and the verdict. Do you think public safety in terms of the safety of the public was improved? Why or why not?
  • As a law enforcement officer, what would your reaction be to being sued by a suspect in a case? How do you think that lawsuit would impact your personal life? How would you handle the pressure of being accused of violating the Constitution?
  • Do you think you might change the way you would act as a law enforcement official if you were aware that you could be sued by a suspect you apprehended? In what way would it impact your duties as a law enforcement official?
