Miami police and city officials say the simulator will help officers learn how to handle stress situations better, thus reducing the number of police shootings. The city of Miami contracted September and Associates East Inc. to build the simulator in the wake of last December's police shooting of a black man in the Overtown area. The shooting of 20-year-old Nevell Johnson by Officer Luis Alvarez sparked three days of racial disturbances in Overtown. Alvarez was indicted on a manslaughter charge and will go to trial this fall.

Three other Miami officers were' indicted last spring in the fatal shootings of three black suspects in unrelated cases. Two of the officers have been acquitted; the other has not yet been tried. Dade County Judge Leah Simms, a black who attended the simulation, agreed that the scenario presented was not lifelike. But she disagreed with activists who said it would not work. to plead guilty attorney says sought but not paid.

"Robert Anthony Gerald, Mack Lewis Carr, and Clifford Bibbs will plead guilty to a count of kidnapping, and Jennifer Brown will plead to an accessory count," Mann told the court. UbM Prat bteraataoaal MIAMI Black activists say a new $592,000 training device for police to help reduce the use of deadly force will not be effective as long as "officers believe black people are animals." At the first public presentation of the police simulator Tuesday night, several black activists walked out in anger, complaining the device is not worth the money. The simulator, composed of a computer, 33 slide projectors, five screens and a 16mm camera, depicts stress situations in which officers' reactions are measured. Officials showed off the new training device by presenting a simulation of a dilemma in which police officers pull over a car with two armed black bank robbers holding two white female hostages. Bill Perry, director of Operation PUSH, watched the presentation and then charged it had nothing to do with stress problems that have resulted in several police shootings of blacks in Miami in recent months.

"All the simulation in the world isn't going to change police officers' attitudes if the officers believe black people are animals," Four suspects in kidnapping, The Associated Press MIAMI Four defendants in the kidnapping July 8 of the wife of a former El Salvadoran ambassador to the United States will plead guilty next week in Washington, a government attorney said Wednesday.
