Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.

    Settling the West, 1865 to 1890 Chapter 4a, Pages 154 to 179 The American Vision: Modern Times Glencoe / McGraw-Hill, 2008 Although the Civil War had inflicted massive casualties on the entire nation, and left the South’s infrastructure damaged, the nation as a whole experience growth during the second half of the 1800s. The fighting of the war had been mostly in the southeastern parts of the country. West of the Mississippi, and north of the Mason- Dixon Line, railroads, telegraph lines, and factories continued to expand. People settled new land and began to farm it. In the West, three opportunities attracted settlers: mining, ranching, and farming. The initial wave of gold mining, the California Gold Rush, lasted from 1848 to 1856, but more and bigger discoveries of lead, coal, iron, copper, and other minerals began in 1859, when silver ore was found in Nevada. In the 1870s, mining began in Colorado, South Dakota, and Montana. Boomtowns grew near mining discoveries. These cities expanded their populations in a single year from near zero to many thousands. The inhabitants of these town were mainly men between the ages of 17 and 40. There were few women, children, or older people. Because of this imbalance, crime and violence were common. Another problem was the slow growth of proper law enforcement: it took time to establish sheriffs and police. Until a city government could be established, volunteers formed ‘vigilance committees’ to keep the peace. Near the boomtown of Tombstone, Arizona, silver was discovered in 1877. The population quickly swelled to 14,000.

  • The Origins of Domestic Police Militarization
    From Warfighters to Crimefighters: The Origins of Domestic Police Militarization Christopher J. Kincaid Masters of Public Administration Candidate 2015 New Mexico State University This is a conference paper. Please do not copy, cite, or distribute without the authors’ permission. 2 Two years ago, United States President Barack Obama spoke at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., giving a speech highly anticipated to be a deliberate reframing of our nation’s counterrorism strategy. Opening his remarks with a passing overview of American conflicts from the Revolutionary War to the end of the Cold War, President Obama then turned to the past decade of conflict. He spoke about the initial quick victory expelling Al-Qaida in Afghanistan, the shift to Iraq, and then the renewed focus on Afghanistan during his administration. The broader purpose of his speech was reflection: considering the decade since the 9/11 terror attacks, he challenged Americans to “ask ourselves hard questions, about the nature of today’s threats and how we should confront them” (Obama, 2013). President Obama asked the country to be mindful of our approach, saying “we must define the nature and scope of this struggle, or else it will define us” (Obama, 2013). His comments acknowledged that a war on terror is a war on a tactic, rather than a tangible foe, and by definition can never end. “Neither I, nor any president, can promise the total defeat of terror,” he declared. He also stated the inherent danger of engaging in conflicts with no end, sharing “…James Madison’s warning that ‘no nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare’” (Obama, 2013).

  • Citizens Confront James-Younger Gang: the Northfield Raid of 18761
    Citizens Confront James-Younger Gang: The Northfield Raid of 18761 James A. Bailey, PhD, Minnesota State University - Mankato, Political Science and Law Enforcement, 109 Morris Hall, Mankato, MN 56001; Jason P. Doyle, MFS, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, NCMEC, PO Box 19853, Alexandria, VA 22320-9853 This presentation is intended to familiarize the forensic community with the historic attempted bank robbery and the types of firearms used during the raid in Northfield, Minnesota. It will examine how the citizens, who used rifles and a shotgun, defeated the James-Younger Gang, who were armed with revolvers, in the attempted bank robbery that became known as the Northfield Raid of 1876. Were the citizens of Northfield at the time skilled marksmen or were the gang members unprepared for the firearms that the citizens used against them? In this incident the locals fought back with rifles and a shotgun against the infamous James –Younger Gang who were brandishing revolvers. The citizens’ heroic actions resulted in the demise of the gang. The plan to rob the Minnesota bank is believed to have originated somewhere on the Osage River in Missouri. One of the robbers, Bill Stiles, had lived in Minnesota and was familiar with some of the towns and roads. He convinced Jesse James that Minnesota had substantial amounts of money in its banks. James was initially against the robbery because Minnesota was an unfamiliar territory but Stiles convinced him he had complete knowledge of the area and friends throughout the state who would provide assistance if needed. After their meeting, James visited Bob Younger in a Kansas hotel and convinced him to join the gang in the Minnesota robbery.

  • The Attacks on Paris: Lessons Learned
    White Paper THE ATTACKS ON PARIS: LESSONS LEARNED A Presentation of Findings Courtesy of HSAC and the Paris Public Safety Delegation June 2016 Prepared by QuinnWilliams, LLC 2 Preface The purpose of this white paper is to document the findings of the Los Angeles delegation that traveled to Paris in April 2016, to meet with key members of the Parisian law enforcement and intelligence communities, as they shared their lessons learned from the attacks on Paris in November 2015. The November 13 attacks were the deadliest on French soil since WWII. The terrorists targeted the Stade de France, restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements and the Bataclan concert hall. In a little over three hours, the nine attackers killed 130 and wounded 368. The Paris law enforcement community did a commendable job responding to coordinated, simultaneous attacks. The death toll likely would have been much higher if not for several key decisions made immediately after the attacks began. The Los Angeles delegation returned with a deeper understanding of the Parisian response and how these lessons learned can be best applied in the Southern California region. These findings are summarized in this "unclassified” white paper and presented to local public safety agencies in the Los Angeles area. This white paper was prepared by QuinnWilliams, LLC in coordination with the Los Angeles delegation at the request of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). 3 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......................................................................................................

On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania BRIEF FOR RODERICK ANDRE JOHNSON IN OPPOSITION David Zuckerman* Samuel J.B. Angell Federal Community Defender Office for the Eastern Dist. of Pennsylvania 601 Walnut Street, Suite 545 West Philadelphia, PA 19106 215-928-0520 [email protected] *Counsel of Record Member of the Supreme Court Bar QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Commonwealth seeks review of a decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania granting relief pursuant to Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963). The questions presented are: 1) Should this Court deny the petition for a writ of certiorari: (a) because the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania simply disagrees with the state court’s fact-findings and application of correctly stated, and well-settled, law; (b) because the Commonwealth did not present to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania the principal argument that it is presenting to this Court; (c) because the Commonwealth’s arguments to this Court raise no important federal question, but rather are based on interpretations of state law; and (d) because the Commonwealth has unclean hands in this case where the trial prosecutor knowingly made false repesentations to the state court about the existence of suppressed police reports and exploited these misrepresentions in earlier related state court briefing? 2) Did the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania correctly find a violation of Brady v. Maryland where the Commonwealth suppressed multiple police reports that a crucial witness, a prolific informant, was the subject of numerous criminal investigations, information which would have exposed the witness’s bias and interest in cooperating with the police and which would have discredited the Commonwealth’s investigation? i TABLE OF CONTENTS QUESTIONS PRESENTED ...........................................................................................................

SEEING THE PAST: JESSE JAMES AND AMERICAN HISTORY IN MOTION PICTURES By Clinton Scott Loftin Thesis Advisor: Dr. Nathan Godfried An Abstract of the Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History) May, 2000 Historically-based films often reveal more about the time in which they were made than about their historical subjects. Three motion pictures about Jesse James made in three very different eras reveal more about contemporary history than they do about the facts surrounding the legendary outlaw’s life. While each film, in some way, purports to tell the “true” story of Jesse James’ life, each offers a different history of that life. In order to understand the reasons for this it is necessary to examine the events that surrounded the making of each picture. More specifically, there are four major forces that must be examined in order to understand Jesse James’ transformation in the three pictures: the socio-political environment at the time each film was made, the state of the motion picture industry, developments within the genre to which the films belong (the Western), and the unique contributions of individual filmmakers.

Lopez* Sociology Department, California State University, Northridge, USA Abstract This study examines the case of ex-Los Angeles Police officer Christopher Dorner comparing it with national data on Special Weapons and Tactic (SWAT) operations. Emphasis is on the final confrontation between Dorner and SWAT. The inquiry seeks to expand what is known on SWAT use of deadly force. Qualitative data from media accounts and a law enforcement dispatch log is fused with quantitative data on SWAT from both the Multi-Method Study of Police Special Weapons and Tactics Teams in the United States, 1986-1998 and a related report to the U.S. Department of Justice. Chi-square tests of significance were applied. Results found Dorner possessed and used weapons common to SWAT suspects, SWAT and Dorner used deadly force, he was barricaded, and he committed suicide. Statistical significance was found for the following; SWAT uses deadly force more often than suspects, narcotics warrant suspects are fired upon by SWAT more than in other types of incidents, and hostage takers are fired upon less than in other types of incidents. Aspects of the case share commonalities with SWAT incidents nationally. Analysis of SWAT use of deadly force found narcotic warrant suspects are at risk for being fired upon by SWAT with hostage-takers less so.
