YAY.

For my Mag/Design class for school i have to write about 'Teen Problems' and I think well this is going to be a long subject. From my perspective that's all i see happening around me right now is maturity. We have no choice but to deal with it and go with it, continue on with it and accept it. There are many people that will be long gone next year, there will be people that literally have no choice but to just leave, and leave for a very long time. I say that because I know multiple people that will get kicked out of there homes just because there age and parents not being able to handle things anymore. We have to mature up because some of us are way to young to be in this grade, not even 18 and not having the "rights". People go out there and say stuff like,"It's your last year! enjoy this and have fun!" Not many people can do that knowing that they will have to get a job, lose contact with old friends, and go to MORE SCHOOL. Isn't that great? after high school its still not over folks! But whatever, its our economy and government that does this to us. Take a look at the national student debt guys, and listen to stories that have been told about this. Its kinda sad. My mom is even in 9 thousand dollars in debt. Do i know how i'm going to pay for college or get to San Francisco where i plan to move and study music after college? No.

Money Money Money.

I've been looking forward to a lot of things. I haven't been practicing as much as i should but i have started giving lessons to a person who showed up at one of my marimba band performances then later asked me if i'd like to teach her son. We exchanged numbers, and soon enough we got in contact with each other and i'm now getting paid 15$ an hour for lessons for guitar. And i do love doing that because it gives me motivation to do more for music, more for pursuing my dream of becoming a sound engineer/producer.

Plans

Many people don't know but i used to be really into soccer and i played for 10 years. It was my dream to become a professional, soccer was my life. Things changed when i moved and i was put into a lower soccer team for 3 years because i didn't know of any others around i was the best of the team and i really didn't learn to much. High school came and i got health problems and got tired easily it sucked, i was depressed and i stopped. I regret ever stopping something that was so important to me. And that's where music comes in. There are times where i did almost stop playing for awhile it was horrible. It scares me to know i am going to become a sound engineer because i didn't have much confidence as i had in soccer. Being a musician is a tough field especially if you are a woman.

Figure

My question is if its just me that would ever give up something or something of my own for someone to be happy. Someone very important to you or even someone you just think is worthy of that. How do you know if there truly worthy if you don't know them? Well take a look at the facts, maybe they really need it, you  enjoy there energy around, or you just really think they are. A person that is truly important to you will always feel your pain. When they feel a relief you feel a relief when you feel stressed they feel stressed when your mad there mad and let me ask you, if your feeling happy how do they feel? its a comforting thing sometimes when you know its not just you feeling the same way as someone else and knowing they understand. That's how best friends are. And a best friend can be anyone.

MY MODERNIST

Ernest Hemingway because he is the only journalist i looked up that i actually took extra time on to find out more and more, and i think because i also understand and like his work a bit more then the others i have looked up.

Class Discussion: Police Bruitality

In class today we discussed what we found as information toward police brutality. The class period was so short i didn't get to discuss my own information that i found(which i studies all night for 3 hours and 2 hours this morning so i was prepared to say what i had found. So, what i didn't want was to leave things unsaid. I mean, i did find information since i did study about 5 hours straight about this stuff.
What i wanted to figure out was if there is actually anything that they were tought in the academy or anything in the law that shows they cant just shoot a person for a small crime or something that says they're suppose to follow this or they were taught this. My mother joined the academy in San Jose to join the police force back when i was a lot younger, she was hired in Guadalupe when we moved to Santa Maria as a reserve officer. She still got paid for it but didn't want to let go working at Vandenberg tracking station. But anyway i came to her and told her my situation of trying to look for research, she gave me a book(the name was PC 832 concepts iv, peace officer required training) and said yes there is regulations and things the police must follow. I kept reading and reading and i found this,
Decision to use deadly force: many officers complete their entire careers without (fortunately) ever facing the need to use deadly force. However, one must be realistic and realize that such a need may  arise at any time. Therefore, if for any reason you feel that you cannot apply deadly force when necessary in the course of your sworn duty, you should not enter a branch of armed law enforcement.

Moral and psychological aspects: in the consideration of the moral aspects of the force necessary to effect and arrest, one should consider the following quote," The goof of the people is the chief law"
Many officers do not resort  to deadly force unless the suspected felon is dangerous and/or has committed a violent crime( grand theft, armed robbery). To keep things in perspective, one might properly equate the personal consequences of taking a human life against the punishment the suspect might otherwise receive when and if convicted.

Reasonable person rule: if, viewed from the standpoint of the ordinary reasonable and prudent person, such extreme fore was not reasonably  necessary and the arrest could have been accomplished  without it, the homicide is not justifiable.

Duty to public: peace officers owe a duty to the public not to violate anyone's civil rights by the use of excessive or imprudent force.

Basic Professional concepts:

Public approbation of police:the ability of the police to perform there duties is dependent upon the approval of police existence, action, behavior, and the ability of the police to secure and maintain public respect

Minimum use of force: The police should use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when  the excercise of persuasion, advice, and warning is found  to be insufficient to achieve police objectives; and police should use only the reasonable amount of force which is necessary on any particular  occasion for achieving a police objective.

It is also said they can only use deadly force when they do and 'eye search' see if he has a weapon or see if a person by them is in danger. It's just all i see in this book are reasonable force. which is pointed to words and opinions that anyone can really say. was it reasonable? That is just them trying to get your perspective.
