Contemporary psychology (for some theorists) holds that our memory systems can be modeled after the modern-day computer. Using this model, one can say that the
human memory system has to translate incoming information into a meaningful code ("encode"), store the information, and retrieve the stored information at will, much like the operation of
a sophisticated computer. Is William James's notion of "memory" consistent with this modern day analogy? Why or why not?

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, the death of a homeless man incited a violent protest over police brutality. Protesters claimed law enforcement officials abused using deadly force after officer’s shot and killed James Boyd, a 38-year-old homeless man with a history of mental illness who was illegally camping. Albuquerque police confirmed that officers fired six rounds of live ammunition while Boyd was lying on the ground and the police let loose a police dog. Boyd pleaded to the officers “Please don’t hurt me anymore. I can’t move”. Chief of Police, Gorden Eden, said the shooting was “justified” since Boyd had threatened officers with his two knives. Eden also brought up Boyd’s criminal record, which included a physical altercation with a police officer. Boyd died in the hospital the next day. Do you believe law enforcement officers were justified in shooting Boyd because he threatened them with two knives and had a prior record? Should have the officers stopped after Boyd pleaded with them? Did law enforcement officers violate Boyd’s civil liberties? Did law enforcement officers engage in excessive use of force? If law enforcement officers new Boyd suffered from a mental illness, could they have responded differently? Defend your answer. Be specific
