OSHA Manual

There is another 600 pound gorilla in the room that nobody seems worth mentioning: the introduction and utilization of Affirmative Action.

I'm not talking about the regular practice of race inclusion.

In 1984, there was a comedic movie brought out called Police Academy. In it, the leadership of the area decided to throw out the height, weight, physical conditioning and gender restrictions for acceptance into the academy to show how progressive they were. In it every form of human showed up and were eventually turned into police officers. During the movie, we were all shown how these "screw-ups" and "losers" could eventually pull their weight and saved the day when push came to shove. THIS was the beginning.

Yes, I understand that this was just a movie. Nevertheless, this in itself is the real underlying problem. You have people out in the field grossly out of shape or entirely undersized to be able to handle most violent criminals in a one-on-one, or even a two or three-on-one without having to resort to extreme levels of unnecessary violence. More so, it's just not having women on the force that is the issue. There are plenty of undersized, or overweight, men on the force who can't pull their own weight either.

Both of these instances are recent where the officers just weren't able to handle the suspect without using a taser, shooting the suspect or even controlling them once they were handcuffed. Personally, I'd want all of my Police officers to look like Bubba Smith or Richard Kiel. They might not be pretty, but they sure could get a situation under control. Back before the Weather Underground and their ilk of the 60s made it acceptable to target police officers, you could have gotten away with having an all inclusive police force. Back then, the uniform got respect without having a linebacker fill it. Now, you need that linebacker out there to get the respect, whether it be through fear and intimidation or actual approbation. Either way, Sergeant Hooks and Officer Sweetchuck just ain't gonna get the job done today.

I blame the failure for many of these remakes on a couple of things:

1) Lack of reading: people don't read anymore. Without reading, your imagination gets stifled and doesn't grow. Watching electronic media doesn't activate the same centers of the brain that reading does and thus you can't create new scenarios.

2) The idea that works need "refreshed" or "contain a positive message" for the next generation: It seems an agenda needs to be included in every show, movie, and even book today. You just can't just have entertainment anymore, you have to push something along with it.

3) Reinventing the wheel (AKA I can do it Better): There is a reason why a classic is a classic. Either it's chemistry with the cast/crew/writer/director, the individual talents of one or a combination, unique imagination of the writer...something that makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The new recent trend is to replace male leads with female ones and tell the same story (Ocean's Eight (and why only 8...you couldn't find 11 strong female actresses in the world?), Ghostbusters, etc). Every time, even when they stack the deck and limit release competition, these movies just fall flat. Humankind is NOT unisex...we are not all equal in everything. Just Stop!

It's the only movie that I've ever seen Cruise play where he isn't the Natural Winner (even though he never loses in this one either) who can do no wrong.

I agree, the beginning of the movie was outstanding. The action and suspense were both fabulous and the special effects were top-o'-the-line for 2005. Once they got to the part with the crashed airliner, it just fell apart.

Did you also read about his extensive criminal record?

The 46-year-old had left behind his past in Houston after being released from prison stemming from a 2007 robbery.

He plead guilty to entering a woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money, according to court records.

Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in jail for having less than one gram of cocaine in a December 2005 arrest.

He had previously been sentenced to eight months for the same offense, stemming from an October 2002 arrest.

Floyd was arrested in 2002 for criminal trespassing and served 30 days in jail
He had another stint for a theft in August 1998.
