- Force decisions : [electronic resource] : A citizen's guide to understanding how police determine appropriate use of force. by Miller, Rory.;
Cooperation, Compliance, Control.In a free and peaceful society where so many have been taught that all violence is wrong, citizens are often confused and dismayed when officers use force, even when the force is perfectly lawful and justified.This book allows you to 'take' a basic USE OF FORCE class just as if you were a rookie at the police academy. Below are some highlights of what is included in 'your' basic use of force class:SECTION 1. TRAINING. I explain policy and laws that officers are taught. We examine use of force, how to define a threat, and the difference between excessive force and unnecessary force.SECTION 2. CHECKS AND BALANCES. This section explains how an officer's decisions are examined if suspected of being bad decisions.SECTION 3. EXPERIENCE. We explore how officers see the world that they live in. Somewhere in the fog between training and experience, the officer has to make a decision. Sometimes decisions will be made in a fraction of a second and on partial information. Sometimes a decision will change the lives of everyone involved—forever.SECTION 4. ABOUT YOU. Review what you should have learned. Why does community action fail? What is it that can really be done? Know how to behave when faced by an officer. Until this section, I have tried to put you in the headspace of an officer, giving you an overview of his training and a taste of his experiences. Now I will try to let you feel like a suspect.That's a lot of mind bending for one book. Get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water.Any civilian, law enforcement officer or martial artist interested in self-defense, or anyone wanting to understand the duties and responsibilities of civilians and police officers needs to read this book. -- provided by Amazon.com.Electronic reproduction.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Nonfiction.; Sociology.; Sports & Recreations.;

- Lift : fitness culture, from naked Greeks and acrobats to jazzercise and ninja warriors / by Kunitz, Daniel.;
Includes bibliographical references ([283]-304) and index.Into the new frontier -- The inner statue -- But is it good for you? -- Feeling, breathing, going to war -- Bodyweight politics -- Hercules and the athletic Renaissance -- Training for the mirror -- Acrobats and beefcake -- The tyranny of the wheel -- From women's work to the women's movement -- Practicing at life."A cultural history of fitness explores the ways in which human exercise has changed over time and what can be learned from our athletic ancestors, evaluating whether today's high-tech exercise machines are actually productive while making recommendations based on early health practices"--"While we humans have been conditioning our bodies for more than 2,500 years, we've done so for a variety of reasons: to imitate gods, to be great warriors, to build nations and create communities, to achieve physical perfection, and, of course, to look good naked. Behind each of these goals is a story and method of exercise that not only illuminates the past but also sheds light on aspects of the widespread, multi-faceted fitness culture of today. Lift begins with the ancient Greeks, who made a cult of the human body--the word "gymnasium" derives from the Greek word for "naked"--and then takes us on an enlightening tour through time, following Asian martial artists, Persian pahlevans, nineteenth-century German gymnasts, and the bronzed bodies of California's Muscle Beach. Kunitz uncovers the seeds of the modern gym in the late nineteenth-century with the invention of the first weightlifting machines, and brings us all the way up to the ultimate game-changer: the feminist movement, which kicked off the exercise boom of the 1970s with aerobics, and ultimately helped create the big-box gyms we know today. Using his own decade-long journey to transform himself from a fast-food junkie into an ultra-fit--if aging--athlete as a jumping off point, Kunitz argues that another exercise revolution is underway now--a new frontier in fitness, in which the ideal of a bikini body is giving way to a focus on mastering the movements of life." -- Publisher's description- Subjects: Physical fitness; Physical education and training; Exercise;
