If police use the real bullets people die, police not want people die
Police use rubber bullets to injure people deter them from riot
A violent public disturbance is a chaotic event involving physical violence, destruction of property, and a lack of control over the situation. Examples include riots, brawls, and mass protests that escalate into violence. Such disturbances pose risks to public safety and often require intervention from law enforcement.
Force has been called upon to maintain peace in situations of armed conflict, riots, protests, and civil unrest. This may involve the deployment of police, military, or other security forces to restore order and protect civilians. The use of force is often a last resort when other methods of conflict resolution have failed.
A bill granting good conduct time allowance to prisoners who participate in literacy, skills and values development programs has been approved on third and final reading in the House of Representatives.House Bill 4925 provides that a prisoner can earn time credit for satisfactory progress towards earning a post-graduate or college degree, high school or elementary grade diploma, vocational or technical skill or values development certificate.The bill also covers prisoners who get credits for teaching subjects or courses in the mentioned programs, according to a press statement posted on the House of Representatives website.Under the proposed measure, participants in the program will be provided a maximum time credit of 15 days for every month of study time.The measure covers prisoners in detention facilities and those who are serving their sentences by virtue of final judgment.Prisoners whose sentences are under appeal could also be entitled to a good conduct time allowance.The approved measure is a consolidation of bills authored by Reps.Raul Gonzalez Jr. (Iloilo City), Teodoro Locsin Jr. (Makati) and Rufus Rodriguez (Cagayan de Oro City).Gonzalez said increasing literacy and skills standards and strengthening moral values of prisoners would facilitate their integration into mainstream society as reformed and productive citizens."The granting of good conduct time allowance will result in the reduction of their incarceration period. This translates to a decrease in the overall cost of correction through jail decongestion," Gonzalez said.He added that aside from decongesting the prisons, it would prevent jailbreaks and riots as prisoners devote their time and energies in productive endeavors.For his part, Locsin said the bill can turn reformed and rehabilitated prisoners into productive members of society again.He said giving prisoners an incentive to lessen their sentences by showing that they are capable of and willing to consistently behave humanely in a prison environment is a giant leap towards the goal of total reformation.
=== ===A man-made hazard is a threat having an element of human intent, negligence, error or involving a failure of a system. Man-made disasters are the result of man-made hazards for which adequate emergency management measures have not been adopted. == ==== : Arson is the criminal intent of setting a fire with intent to cause damage. The definition of arson was originally limited to setting fire to buildings, but was later expanded to include other objects, such as bridges, vehicles, and private property. Arson is the greatest cause of fires in data repositories. Sometimes, human-induced fires can be accidental: failing machinery such as a kitchen stove is a major cause of accidental fires. : Civil disorder is a broad term that is typically used by law enforcement to describe forms of disturbance. Although civil disorder does not necessarily escalate to a disaster in all cases, the event may escalate into general chaos. Rioting has many causes, from low minimum wage to racial segregation. And example of riots were those in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, California in 1965 and 1992. The 1992 riots, which started at the intersections of Florence and Normandie streets, started immediately after the Rodney King verdict was announced on live TV. Approximately 50 people died in the 1992 riots. : Terrorism is a controversial term with multiple definitions. One definition means a violent action targeting civilians exclusively. Another definition is the use or threatened use of violence for the purpose of creating fear in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological goal. Under the second definition, the targets of terrorist acts can be anyone, including civilians, government officials, military personnel, or people serving the interests of governments. In the early 21st century, terrorism has been considered by some a constant threat to all people of the world, after the worst disaster of its kind struck on September 11, 2001 (known primarily as 9/11). : War is conflict between relatively large groups of people, which involves physical force inflicted by the use of weapons. Warfare has destroyed entire cultures, countries, economies and inflicted great suffering on humanity. Other terms for war can include armed conflict, hostilities, and police action. Acts of war are normally excluded from insurance contracts and disaster planning. Industrial disasters occur in a commercial context, such as mining disasters. They often have an environmental impact. Structural collapses are often caused by engineering failures. Bridge failures may be caused in several ways, such as under-design (as in the Tay Rail Bridge), by corrosion attack (such as in the Silver Bridge), and by aerodynamic flutter of the deck (as in Galloping Gertie, the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge). Failure of dams was not infrequent during the Victorian period, such as the Dale Dyke dam failure in Sheffield, England in the 1860s, causing the Great Sheffield Flood. Other failures include balcony collapses. : A power outage is an interruption of normal sources of electrical power. Short-term power outages (up to a few hours) are common and have minor adverse effect, since most businesses and health facilities are prepared to deal with them. Extended power outages, however, can disrupt personal and business activities as well as medical and rescue services, leading to business losses and medical emergencies. Extended loss of power can lead to civil disorder, as in the New York City blackout of 1977. Only very rarely do power outages escalate to disaster proportions, however, they often accompany other types of disasters, such as hurricanes and floods, which hampers relief efforts. : Bush fires, forest fires and mine fires are generally started by lightning, but also by human negligence or arson. They can burn thousands of square kilometers. If a fire intensifies enough to produce its own winds and "weather", it will form into a firestorm. A good example of a mine fire is the one near Centralia, Pennsylvania. Started in 1962, it ruined the town and continues to burn today. Some of the biggest city-related fires are The Great Chicago Fire, The Peshtigo Fire (both of 1871) and The Great Fire of London in 1666. Casualties resulting from fires, regardless of their source or initial cause, can be aggravated by inadequate emergency preparedness. Such hazards as a lack of accessible emergency exits, poorly marked escape routes, or improperly maintained fire extinguishers or sprinkler systems may result in many more deaths and injuries than might occur with such protections. See e.g. Category:Fire disasters involving barricaded escape routes. == When nuclear weapons are detonated or nuclear containment systems are otherwise compromised, airborne radioactive particles (nuclear fallout) can scatter and irradiate large areas. Not only is it deadly, but it also has a long-term effect on the next generation for those who are contaminated. Ionizing radiation is hazardous to living things, and in such a case much of the affected area could be unsafe for human habitation. During World War II, United States troops dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a result, the radiation fallout contaminated the cities' water supplies, food sources, and half of the populations of each city were stricken with disease. The Soviet republics of Ukraine and Belarus are part of a scenario like this after a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant suffered a meltdown in 1986. To this day, several small towns and the city of Chernobyl remain abandoned and uninhabitable due to fallout. In the 1970s, a similar threat scared millions of Americans when a failure occurred at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant in Pennsylvania. The incident was fortunately resolved, and the area retained little contamination. == : A catch-all initialism meaning Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear. The term is used to describe a non-conventional terror threat that, if used by a nation, would be considered use of a weapon of mass destruction. This term is used primarily in the United Kingdom. Planning for the possibility of a CBRN event may be appropriate for certain high-risk or high-value facilities and governments. Examples include the Halabja poison gas attack on the Kurdish purported by Saddam Hussein, the Sarin gas attacks in Tokyo and the preceding test runs in Matsumoto, Japan 100 kilometers outside of Tokyo,[2], and Lord Amherst giving smallpox laden blankets to Native Americans.[3]. == : An aviation incident is an occurrence other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft, which affects or could affect the safety of operations, passengers, or pilots. The category of the vehicle can range from a helicopter, an airliner, or a space shuttle. One of the more devastating events occurred in 1977 on the island of Tenerife of the Canary Islands, when miscommunications between and amongst air traffic control and an aircrew caused two fully loaded jets to collide on the runway, killing over 500 passengers. == : A railroad disaster is an occurrence associated with the operation of a passenger train which results in substantial loss of life. Usually accidents with freight (goods) trains are not considered disasters, unless they cause substantial loss of life or property. One of the more devastating rail disasters occurred in 2004 in Sri Lanka when 1,700 people died in the Queen of the Sea train accident. Other notable rail disasters are the 1989 Ufa accident in Russia which killed 574, and the 1917 Modane train accident in France which killed 54 == : Space disasters, either during operations or training, have killed around 20 astronauts and cosmonauts, and a much larger number of ground crew and civilians. These disasters include either malfunctions on the ground, during launch, or in orbit with technology, or of natural forces. Not all space disasters result in human fatalities, for example, unmanned orbiting satellites that drop to the Earth can incinerate and send debris spewing across the sky. One of the worst manned space disasters, the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion of 1986, cost all of the lives on board. The shuttle exploded several seconds after taking off from the launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Another example is the Space Shuttle Columbia, which disintegrated during a landing attempt over Texas in 2003, with a loss of all 7 astronauts on board. The debris field extended from as far as eastern New Mexico to Mississippi. An example of a space disaster killing nearby residents occurred on February 15, 1996, in Sichuan Province, China, when a Long March 3B rocket crashed during takeoff. The Nedelin catastrophe in 1960 also killed 126 when an R-16 ICBM exploded on the launch pad.
The National Guard began using rubber bullets in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a means of crowd control during civil unrest and riots. These less-lethal projectiles were intended to minimize fatalities while still allowing law enforcement to manage potentially violent situations. Their use has evolved over the years, often sparking discussions about their effectiveness and the potential for injury.
The "rubber bullet" you may hear mentioned in the news being used to control riots is not a standard firearm cartridge. Typically fired from a weapon similar to the 40 mm grenade launcher, it is about the size of a golf ball. Imagine being hit by a golf ball traveling at VERY high speed-
They held riots in Vancouver, set fire to two police cars (at least). This cause the police to fire rubber bullets and tear gas at them, and took anyone on the streets within a certain few blocks into custody. Go Canucks, go!
In Ireland, when there is riots (especially in the North) the police use water cannons. Up to about 20/25 ft away you have no chance of staying standing, you will definitely be put to the ground. The only problem I have seen from experience is that usually this gets the people even more hyped up and then petrol bombs and what not are introduced. Another weapon the police use here is rubber bullets. It's not great for taking down a whole crowd. But usually when a few police officers just start shooting the crowd and a few people are brought down the rest of the crowd will start running. I find that rubber bullets keep the peace more so than water cannons. However its being known that rubber can kill.
