Officers dealing with defense

As a law enforcement student I always hear of how police do countless amount of police brutality but people seem to forget that officers have their view of the situation. for example dealing with a man who has his hands always in his pocket and countlessly staring at your abdominal area, people may not really see this as a threat but to an officer this is a possible threat. Many officers fear that once the person has their hands in their pockets they may pull out either a knife, a gun, or even a crowbar. Having being in a law enforcement class I've watched many videos and it's very understanding to see why considering a lot of officers on duty have been face to face with this problem.

Though there are cases where an officer may abuse this excuse, the threat is still very real and is out there to look at. In the line of duty officers may need to kill not because they want to kill but because they live by a code to go home at the end of their shift and if not for that code then may officers would not be alive to this day. For instance the shooting of Micheal Brown, Officer Darren Wilson had engaged Brown but during interface with Brown the officer had engaged in a struggle where Brown would attempt to take the officer's side arm but was killed before doing so. Officer Darren stood trial for the incident but was deemed not guilty due to it being in self defense. Even with people saying that the case decision was crap, until someone personally steps into a situation where they have to fight for their life then they don't understand the true pressure.

Another example is the encounter of Officer Johnna Watson. From policeone.com, Officer Watson had been called to a simple trespassing crime but had escalated to out fight. She had simply come up to him and ask him to leave the premises of a residence's home in Oakland California. The Homeless man had then gotten angry and struck several times in the head with a heavy chain and horribly injuring her but before she could black out from shock and be rushed to the hospital she shot the man and saved herself from dying that day. So it all comes down to the decision and a will, it's in our hands to survive another day or die from not reacting,

Man Made and Natural Catastrophes


World war II was a very memorable part of history and full of catastrophes but one of the biggest catastrophe was actually preformed by the US. America had a way of taking care of our enemy Japan, and at this time in history America had a huge grudge against the Japanese for destroying Pearl Harbor one of our major naval bases with Japanese Type 99 Assault planes. Along with that it would also be the last step toward the end of world war II itself. This battle against Japan lasted for 5 years and was grueling with harsh jungle terrain with the fear of not knowing where the enemy may appear from, when you were going to be ambushed or when the time may come where they would need to be on the ready for the Japanese.

The weapon that had ended this horrid war were two atomic bombs named "Fat man" and "Little boy"both weighing close to 10,000 lbs. and final projects to the perfect end game of the WWII campaign. Before the 2 bombs were released no one was aware this was going to happen and no one was warned about the B-29 bomber, the people of both Nagasaki and Hiroshima were oblivious to the bombing that would come. The bombing and poisoning of both "Fat man" and "Little Boy"proved to have been catastrophic causing 90% of Hiroshima to have been destroyed along with 90,000 lives to die by Fat man and in Nagasaki, about 40,000 to die from Little boy.

After the Bombing happened A pilot from Japan had went to Hiroshima only to find that it was covered in a humongous cloud of smoke and radiation. Many were dead or seriously injured, it's fascinating to this day that there were survivors that to this day still show signs to this day of the horrifying after effects of these horrific bombs. The true rebuilding actually happened in May of 1959 where Japan would make several laws to help the rebuilding of not just Hiroshima or Nagasaki but of the people would had survived and had to deal with memories of it.
