Birth of a Nation

Rlong1985 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:19:13 GMT

Throughout my course work I have been presented with many controversial ideas and political theories, but never have I seen such contrast between today’s societies as it is presented through the media and how it was presented in the early 1900’s. Birth of a Nation was revolutionary in its time for its film techniques, and was the highest grossing piece of the silent film era. The film displays reconstruction from a southern prospective; racism and hate run throughout but a sense of misunderstanding of black culture is also evident. I encourage you to watch the clip, if not the whole film. This movie played a large role in white support for the Klu Klux Klan and I believe is instrumental in planting the seed for the Klans increased membership in the depression era.

Can you sum up in about 6 sentences of why ethics and police character are so important in the field of law enforcement?

Thanks

I was one of about 175 police, including the air wing, dog squad and mounted patrol that played with the hoons last night as part of Operation Friction2. :thumbsup:

This week about 20 of them that weren't there last night will get a knock on the door and they'll get to contribute to the State's finances. =]

Florida School Question?

Guillermo — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:38:30 GMT

I Had gotten a ticket for running a yellow light. The officer said it was a red light , After everything ; I paid for the ticket and to get my lic reinstated since at the time i had no work and could not pay so i got my lic canceled . Well i go it back everything was ok . After moving from my old apt . I never got a letter stating i had to go to school the 4hour one. Well yesterday 10/05/2010 a broward Officer stopped me because my front windshield was fully tinted all the way . I gave him all my paperwork including my lic when he came back he said that my lic was canceled because i never took the School . So i told him i did not know if this and he had my Girlfriend Drive. The ticket says
DL CANCELED DUE TO FAILURE TO COMPLETE BDI F.S.322.0261
Now my question is do i take the 4hour class or the 12 hour since my lic is canceled once again??
Before it was a 4hour according to the Lady in the court house .

22 month old attacked by pet dingo-cross

kazz — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:01:17 GMT

The inquest heard Emergency nurse Clinton Lawrey talk of the injuries inflicted on 22-month-old Kara Compton by the Bunyip family's dingo-labrador cross were "horrific''.

The toddler, who had Down syndrome, died after the family's dog attacked her in her bedroom on February 1, 2006.

Sadly children are killed year by "pets". :nonod:

Mother gets 18 yeras for killing her 2 boys.

kazz — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:54:26 GMT

DONNA Fitchett, who murdered her two sons, has been sentenced to 18 years in jail for her "truly appalling" crime. Fitchett, 51, was convicted of killing Thomas, 11, and Matthew, 9, at their Balwyn North (Victoria, Aust) home in September, 2005.

Fitchett was found guilty of murdering her children in 2008 and was sentenced to a hospital security order of 24 years with a non-parole period of 18 years.

She successfully appealed and went to retrial earlier this year. She was again found guilty!!!

To me, 18 years for killing her two boys seems obscene. =/

Dumbest law you've ever enforced

Penta — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:27:42 GMT

Let's face it: Some jurisdictions have some weird, strange, and occasionally stupid laws still on the books. Usually, they aren't enforced; usually.

However, sometimes they are. And sometimes the LEOs here get to enforce them.

So my question:

What's the weirdest or stupidest law you've actually found reason to (or been told to) enforce?

Aloha

TSOC357 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 01:19:22 GMT

Aloha,

My name is Craig.

I thought I posted an intro when I signed on last year but apparently I didn't or it doesn't show up due to my lack of use. My roommate and I were over in Afghanistan when we open this up and I am the only user now. He was using it to look at job stuff since he was retiring and I was using it to keep up on LE stuff since I haven't worked it in a while.

I am currently desk bound do to a knee injury in Afghanistan, so I maybe on here a bit more depending on the topics.

I am currently stationed with the 8th MP Brigade at Schofield Barracks Hawaii. I have been here since 2008 and just got back from overseas deployment (number three total thus far for me).

Someone sent me a private message inquiring about my career thus far because they were interested in joining the MP Corps.

I will say that depending on where you get stationed at, one might do Law Enforcement work and one might be training to do our primary mission, Combat Support. I would say to expect doing Combat Support and expect to deployed and if you don't have to do either, then think of it as a bonus and be happy as hell.

Here is my career line thus far. I left it kinda vague (no companies listed) but it will give you an idea what I have done in almost my 17 years of Active Duty service.

Hey

ruffneck19 — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:10:01 GMT

I have been here about a few months, I just realized I didn't introduced myself properly. I am a USMS applicant. I also applied to several other agencies to include ICE, NCIS, CBP. I have finished the process for all the aforementioned agencies. The information I have obtained here has been very valuable and helpful with my quest into getting into federal law enforcement.
