Physician

By: Joshua

A physician is a doctor that helps really sick people and gather medical information. I think a Physician is a cool, sad, and happy job. It is cool because you can use cool technology equipment. It is sad because some patient don’t make it. It is happy because you save the life of a patient and feel good about it.

If you want to be a physician you need to graduate from high school, get a college degree, and medical degree it takes 12 years to do all that stuff. The salary a physician gets is 80 dollars per hour but in one week I get 13440.

A physician needs different types of tools like a Stethoscope, Otoscope, Blood Pressure Monitor, Thermometer, Ophthalmoscope, and much more. They use these tool to check if the patient is healthy or not.

I think a physician will still be here in the future because people will get sick every day. The physician needs to save their life so that they can be with their family. There are still some illnesses that are not cured yet. For example, we have not found a cure for cancer. People are dieing because of cancer. So a physician will still be here in the future.

S.W.A.T. T.E.A.M. S.A.

To be a full team member for the S.W.A.T. T.E.A.M you have to go through full time training. Also the other thing you need to do is you have to protect a lot of things and whenever your job needs you, you have to be there on time.

How much they pay you: You get paid at least $10.00 an hour the head chief because they are the one that runs everything so instead of him getting $10.00 an hour they get $13.00.

The process: You have to go to training for 2 in a half years also when you go through training you have to do drills to get on the team.

Their duties include: confronting heavily armed criminals; performing hostage rescue and counter-terrorism operations; high risk arrests; and entering armored or barricaded buildings. Such units are often equipped with specialized firearms including submachine guns, assault rifles, breaching shotguns, sniper rifles, riot control agents, and stun grenades. They have specialized equipment including heavy body armor, ballistic shields, entry tools, armored vehicles, advanced night vision optics, and motion detectors for covertly determining the positions of hostages or hostage takers, inside enclosed structures.

he LAPD promoted what became known as SWAT teams for a variety of reasons. After the racially charged Watts Riots in Los Angeles in 1965, the LAPD began considering tactics it could use when faced with urban unrest, rioting or widespread violence. Daryl Gates, who led the LAPD response to the riots, would later write that police at the time didn’t face a single mob, but rather “people attacking from all directions.” Another reason for the creation of SWAT teams was the fear of lone or barricaded gunmen who might outperform police in a shootout.

LAPD’s own first SWAT unit.

John Nelson was the officer who conceived the idea to form a specially trained and equipped unit in the LAPD, intended to respond to and manage critical situations involving shootings while minimizing police casualties. Inspector Gates approved this idea, and he formed a small select group of volunteer officers. This first SWAT unit initially consisted of fifteen teams of four men each, making a total staff of sixty. These officers were given special status and benefits, and were required to attend special monthly training sessions. The unit also served as a security unit for police facilities during civil unrest. The LAPD SWAT units were organized as “D Platoon” in the Metro division.[6]

Early police powers and tactics used by SWAT teams were aided by legislation passed in 1967-8 with the help of Republican House representative Donald Santarelli. The legislation was promoted within the context of fears over the Civil Rights Movement, race riots, the Black Panthers , and an emerging War on Drugs.

The first significant deployment of the LAPD’s SWAT unit was on December 9, 1969, in a four-hour confrontation with members of the Black Panthers in a densely populated area of Los Angeles. The raid was problematic from the start, leading to a shootout in which Daryl Gates phoned the Department of Defense, requesting and receiving permission to use a grenade launcher. The Panthers eventually surrendered, with four Panthers and four officers being injured. All six arrested Panthers were acquitted of the most serious charges brought against them, including conspiracy to murder police officers, because they acted in self-defense.

By 1974, there was a general acceptance of SWAT as a resource for the city and county of Los Angeles.

I think my job will exist in 20 years because this job is saving people’s lives and it is helping the opportunity to help and stop people from getting harmed.
