CNN lies about police violence

While I was reading the article that I posted in the bibliography, it was interesting that the special interest groups use the main stream media to help fuel the anger toward the police and the violence. This just shows me how lazy we have become as a society. We just believe what the media tells us instead of searching for the truth and wanting to know the truth.

Police violence

Well this is such a heated and touchy subject. I feel that the police are trained to defuse any situation and that violence is the last resort. There are those officers who feel that the only way to solve the problem is with violence. These are the ones that need to be either re-trained or fired from their jobs. With main stream media the way it is today, always looking for a story, the real truth about police violence gets distorted and the public is misled. It gives the officers that are upholding the law a bad name and then all police officers are labeled as violent and that all of them only solve the issues with violence instead of peaceful solutions. The questions that we need to ask, " How did we as a society get to this point?" Is it the fault of the police officers or is it society that has created the criminals?  Why does violence have to be the main way for solving problems?

College life with blogging

I have never blogged before this class. It is going to be very interesting for me. I seem to be more of a writer than a talker. I can express what I am thinking better in writing. I feel that blogging in college and learning how to is very beneficial for students and for teachers. It allows for students to get information, help with subjects, and allows for collaboration. This is beneficial for everyone. I like the idea that we can pose a question or viewpoint about things and get the feed back about it. I feel that it is going to very beneficial for me in this class.

Leonard----All about me

Hey Class. Sorry that this blog is late, but I have been having some issues with getting it started. I want to let everyone know a little bit about me. I am Tim Leonard, I am currently working on getting my degree in Healthcare Management. This has been a long and tough road. I have been in school for close to eight years part time. I am a father of four children, their ages are 27, 24, 17, and 15. I also have one grandson that is almost two. I was in the Army for three years and was in Desert Shield/Storm. After getting out of the Army, I went to work for an allergy practice and have been there for 22 years now. I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life and getting into management. I hope to one day run a medical practice and put my skills to good use. Well that is about it. I look froward to collaborating with you all and having a good class. Good luck to you all.
