A police officer responds to a call about a young person with a gun sitting on a park bench. Upon arriving at the park in his cruiser, the officer tells him three times to “show your hands.” The young person did not show his hands and may have reached toward his belt. Within two seconds of arriving, he was shot and killed by the police officer. The young person turns out to be 12 years old and the gun turns out to be a toy. Is this a justifiable use of force by the officer? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: I would suggest looking at the Tamir Rice and Tyre King cases. Most of the 911 calls describe them as men with guns, and don't indicate an age. Now police officers don't have the luxury of knowing whether or not a gun is fake, and that's why it's a dangerous job. In both cases, the 911 operator failed to mention that these "guns" these young boys were carrying might be fake, and that they are most likely juveniles, so their was a miscommunication there that could've saved someone's lives. In regards to the Tamir Rice's case, the fatal shot that killed Rice was shot within seconds of the officers arriving on the scene. Why wouldn't an officers first instinct not be to neutralize a suspect non-lethally? These are hard questions and answers. Now parents fear that if there child is seen playing with a toy gun outside then they may be shot and killed. I guess by law they replica guns are indistinguishable and if an officer fears for their lives it's justified. Personally, I think it isn't it's very clear looking at Tamir Rice he is a child!!! I think deadly force should be a last result, and for them to pull a gun on him without evaluating the scene makes me think it had more to do with racial stereotyping more than anything.

When bike lanes and shoulders are in disrepair, vulnerable roadway users often have to ...


A. go slower than normal.
B. go into the main traffic stream.
C. use the grassy medians.

Answers

The correct option is A. When bike lanes and shoulders are in disrepair, vulnerable roadway users often have to go slower than normal. Shoulder Bikeways are separated by striping, are paved, and have a minimum width of six feet to properly accommodate cyclists.

What is the importance of bike lanes?

Bikers can ride at their preferred speed in bike lanes without being hindered by the current traffic situation, which also makes bicyclists' and motorists' motions and conducts more predictable.

Several roads in particular that either lack shoulders, had the shoulders removed, or have shoulders that are unsafe for bicycle usage were regularly identified by cyclists in the questionnaire.

In regards to whether economic costs of automobile collisions include hidden costs, this statement is False.

When there is a car collision, there will be costs to all parties involved in the accident and one such cost is economic costs.

Economic costs will include explicit costs such as the cost of fixing the car, as well as implicit costs such as the cost of time taken to fix the car that could have been spent pursuing other endeavors.

There are no hidden costs when it comes to economic costs.
