Case Studies Manila Hostage Crisis

The reporters did not help the negotiations at all. Inmates with battery powered TV’s were able to see sharpshooters position themselves on the roofs. Some negotiators believe the riot could have ended hours after it had started when prisoners tried to negotiate using bullhorns but could not because of helicopters hovering so low. The media wasn’t always a bad thing though one reporter was able to exchange a hostage to allow an inmate some air time.

A San Antonio, Texas man, Gilbert Flores was fatally shot by police officers while he appeared to be surrendering with his arms in the air. The officers are now on administrated leave and being questioned why none of the officers administered first aid after the shooting. Sheriff Susan L.

Media spiked many thoughts that police brutality is a big deal in today’s times, which then lead to the huge riots throughout the city of Ferguson where Darren Wilson and his family had to be protected from thousands of protestors who threatened his life as well as the entire city. The real story as well as the autopsy reports later came out to show that officer Wilson did not shoot him numerous times as he was running

I was shock and applaud to learn the San Bernardion police let the media into Syed home. Not only was the media interfering with the crime scene, they were treating it like a circus show. I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure the media just violated Syde fourth amendment right.

People have jobs and need to execute them without fail, but, with that being said, the people who do execute these duties need to have knowledge on the situation before brutality kicks in without warning. The victim, Shoshana Hebshi was embarrassed in front of the whole plane without even knowing what was going on. “They were handcuffed and then detained, the only three on the plane to be arrested.” Hebshi later was placed in a cell where she was stripped naked, squat, and cough while an officer looked at her. This type of action is the reason why riots and forceful action is answered back, because of the unlawful enforcement against innocent people.

On April 29th the day of the verdict, there were reporters both inside and outside the court room. This would add to how wide spread the unrest would occur and how fast it would develop. The verdict had come out that all four police officers were found not guilty on all accounts except for one account on one officer in which it was ruled a mistrial on that account.4 With the large amount of media coverage and the anticipation of a guilty verdict by many of the local citizens, the disturbances and violence spread quickly .

On November 4th, 1979, a group of enraged of Islamic revolutionists invaded the United States Embassy in Tehran. They had taken 60 Americans hostage for 444 days until President Ronald Reagan had taken Oath of office. It was nearly minutes after Reagan had taken office that they were released. Ayatollah Khomeini enforced an anti-Western Islamic theocracy, overrode the pro-Western monarchy of the Shah of Iran. Iran had felt that the United States was interfering with their internal affairs. They feared that they would return the Shah to power. The Shah had fled to mexico and the doctors there had uncovered that he was suffering an aggressive cancer.

Not only did the American public hope to be able to rely on and trust their federal government, but they also desired strong management of foreign affairs. During the Presidency of Jimmy Carter, America faced many blunders overseas. One particular high-profile issue was the Iranian Hostage Crisis where, “Iranian students stormed the U.S embassy in Tehran and took 53 Americans hostage,” and the attempted rescue of said hostages which resulted in a collision between two helicopters and eight dead marines (Davidson, et al 937). The Carter Administration’s handle on foreign affairs proved to be disastrous. As a result, the Republican party’s platform for the election of 1980, in which Carter was running for reelection, focused heavily on

The government has failed at creating a sense of justice for the people. How can anyone feel justified when someone is murdered then let go. A sense of justice where each party member is not equally represented. The government did not step in and handle the situation peacefully and respectfully, instead looked at the situation as good guy bad guy. In this situation the government also failed at keeping the domestic peace. From the people's perspective the police officers were viewed as bad guys, and the police officer view the citizens as bad guys rather than trying to aid them. Riots spurred up from peaceful protests, what else can be expected from oppressed and abused people who cannot even walk down the street and feel safe in their own

Imagine being held hostage for four hundred and forty four days. The thought alone is scary but this was reality for Fifty-three Americans when they was held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran. This was a tough situation because America and Iran had bigger problems to deal with. Insurgency broke out and former King Reza Shah Pahlavi was forced into exile by the people of Iran. The United States backed the former King and when Pahlavi came to America looking for refuge this caused a serious situation. The United States learned that Pahlavi had cancer and made a choice to let him in for treatment. This angered the people of Iran and forced Iranian students to protest outside of the American embassy. On

In his 1979 state of the Union Address, President Jimmy Carter stated “We have no desire to be the world's policeman. But America does want to be the world's peacemaker.” However, nearing the end of Carter’s presidency the peace within the American Embassy located in Tehran, Iran was broken. 53 Americans were taken hostage by Iranian militants on November 4th 1979. The Iranian Hostage Crisis caused a loss of American confidence, caused Americans to view middle easterners differently forever, and also cost Jimmy Carter the chance of a second term.

Held by prisoners because of the unfairness that was happening with them at that period of time, it cause a lot of problems such as a lot of people being injured, including guards. I personally believe that the riot was wrong and right. I believe that the riot was wrong because it caused a lot of problems, like so many people got injured and most importantly over 40 got killed, and that is a big problem because now the guards and the government have a reason on why they treated people so harshly they can say that the inmates are very violent and that's why we have to be harsh , which would only make things worse. What the inmates

During the riot, the first fire started at a shoe store on 12th. Officers were starting to line up with shields standing next to each other to block the rioting from spreading any further. There were authorities having a meeting to try and stop the riot. They were trying to make peace patrols but the police officers were blocking them from entering the area of the riot. The police officers were still trying to take control of the situation but their officers were being injured and the rioters started to outnumber them by a lot. As the police officers were giving up the firefighters were putting out fires. There were new fires starting as fast as they were being put out.
