－誰是下一個「龐德」?－
　
　
　雖然說，自【皇家夜總會】以來，丹尼爾克雷格的龐德，已經成為了新世代的經典；這位屬於千禧世代的007，其剛毅木訥、憂鬱沉痛的形象，早已深深地烙印在觀眾腦中了。
　不過，隨著龐德系列電影即將再次面臨演員換人、世代更迭的轉戾點，「誰是下一個飾演007的男星」儼然成為影迷之間最關心的問題（可能比新片【No Time To Die】還關心）。
　而目前，在討論中呼聲最高的男演員，大概就屬以下三者：
　
亨利·卡維爾（Henry Cavill）。
　在【超人：鋼鐵英雄】中擔任「超人」一角而知名度大開之後，亨利·卡維爾更是參演了蓋瑞奇【紳士密令】和【不可能的任務：全面瓦解】等諜報片，其時而瀟灑風流、幽默風趣，時而冷酷無情的間諜形象，幾乎可是在為飾演007而累積履歷了。
　
湯姆·哈迪（Tom Hardy）
　因【黑暗騎士：黎明升起】、【瘋狂麥斯：憤怒道】而家喻戶曉的英國男演員湯姆·哈迪，也分別在【諜影行動】（Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy，2012）、【特務愛很大】（This Means War，2012）當中飾演剛正耿直、具紳士精神的特務，可說最符合觀眾腦中「龐德印象」的一位候選人。外國媒體The Vulcan Reporter甚至在官方作出決定、正式公告之前，就已經等不及地宣布他是新007了。
　
伊卓瑞斯·艾巴（Idris Elba）
　除了兩位白人男演員之外，伊卓瑞斯·艾巴也脫穎而出，名列大家最期待的龐德候選人的名單之上。因【雷神索爾】系列、【環太平洋】而打響國際知名度的伊卓瑞斯·艾巴，亦參演過【全面逃殺】（The Gunman，2015）、【巴士底日】（Bastille Day，2016）等諜報動作片，雖然其「間諜／特務」的形象還不甚清晰，然而若真是伊卓瑞斯·艾巴擔任新007，那麼這位「黑人龐德」肯定也會讓大家耳目一新。
　
　而藝術家 BossLogic 則為三位呼聲最高的候選人，製作了各自的007粉絲海報，提供給影迷加以參酌、想像。
　各位心目中，最適合是演龐德的男演員是哪一位呢？

We Expect Police to Be Brave For Us. But What Happens When They’re Not?

When Lt. Craig Cardinale got to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as a mass shooting ( ) was unfolding ( ) last year, he found Deputy Scot Peterson pacing outside, repeating, “Oh, my God. Oh, my God.”

The deputy, who was assigned to the school, was behaving in ways typically associated with fear or panic, the lieutenant told investigators. He was moving “back and forth ( ),” talking to himself and “breathing heavily.”

What he was not doing was what the prevailing ( ) law enforcement protocol ( ) says was his first responsibility: Go into the building. Stop the gunman.

Peterson has been castigated ( ) and criminally charged with endangering children and culpable negligence ( ) in connection with the attack that left 17 people dead. The case against him is highly unusual and promises to raise all manner of legal questions, such as whether a police officer’s failure to perform as trained can lead to ( ) prison.

But it also raises a larger moral question: How much bravery do we expect, or demand, of law enforcement officers? What level of courage rises to the level of heroism — and what is just part of earning the paycheck?

Officers themselves are likely to hear inconsistent ( ) or even contradictory messages that may reflect the public’s polarized ( ) view of police as protectors or oppressors. Police officers rushed into the twin towers as they were collapsing; they have also shot and killed unarmed people for fear of losing their own lives.

“Every cop has heard some variation of ‘Your first job is to go home at the end of your shift,’ some version of ‘It’s better to be tried ( ) by 12 than carried by six.’ And every cop has also heard ‘You are the heroes; you are the front lines of defense; you are the ones who are supposed to run toward the gunshots,’ ” said Seth Stoughton, a former police officer who now teaches law at the University of South Carolina.

Expectations and training have changed drastically since the Columbine High School massacre ( ) in 1999, when law enforcement was criticized for failing to quickly confront ( ) the assailants and 13 people died. Until then, typical police protocol had been for officers to wait for backup, or for the SWAT team to arrive.

But after that, many departments rewrote policies to emphasize that every minute could mean another death. Officers were instructed to impede ( ) or take down the gunman immediately.

Dan Oates, who was the chief of police in Aurora, Colorado, when 12 people died and 70 were wounded in a shooting in a movie theater there in 2012, said officers are now drilled ( ) in tactics that put the well-being of hostages and innocents first.

人們期望警察勇敢無畏，但要是他們做不到呢？

去年，當克蘭格．卡丁納爾小隊長抵達發生大型槍擊案的馬喬瑞史東曼道格拉斯高中時，他發現警官史考特．彼得森在外頭踱步並不斷說著「我的天啊、我的天啊。」

小隊長告訴調查人員，這位被派往該校的警官表現出來的，是跟恐懼與驚慌有關的典型行為，他「來回」移動、自言自語，而且「呼吸急促」。

而他沒能做到的，是履行現今通行執法準則下他的首要職責：進入大樓內制止槍手。

彼得森受到嚴厲批判，並因在這起17人死亡的攻擊事件中使兒童性命陷入危險，且有重大疏失而被以刑事罪名移送法辦。他的這個案例頗不尋常，而且肯定會引發各種法律問題，例如警察是否會因未能按照受過的訓練行事而導致入獄。

而此案同時也引發一個更大的道德問題：我們對執法人員的勇敢該有多大的期望或要求？要有多少勇氣才能達到英雄的水準？只用來賺取薪水的勇氣又該是多少？

警察本身可能會聽到不一致甚至互相矛盾的訊息，而這些訊息反映了民眾對於警察是保護者或壓迫者的兩極看法，警察曾經在雙子星大樓正在倒塌時衝了進去；而他們也曾因為害怕失去自己的生命而開槍打死手無寸鐵的人。

出身警界、目前在南卡羅來納大學教法律的塞斯．史托頓說：「每個警察都聽過『你的第一要務就是值完班回家』這樣的論調，以及『被12個人審判總比被6個人抬著要好』之類說法，每個警察也都聽過『你們是英雄、你們是防線的最前線、你們是應該向槍聲奔去的那群人』。」

1999年科倫拜恩高中大屠殺發生以來，人們的期望與訓練有了巨大變化。當時執法部門因未能快速對抗攻擊者，以致有13人死亡而受到指摘，而在那之前，典型的警察準則是讓警察等候支援，或是等特警小組抵達。

但在那以後，許多警局改寫了準則，強調每分鐘都可能意味又有一人死亡。警察也奉命立即阻止或擊斃持槍歹徒。
2012年，科羅拉多州奧羅拉市一家電影院發生12人死亡、70人受傷的槍擊事件，時任奧羅拉市警察局長的歐茨表示，警察現在受的戰術訓練是將人質與無辜者的福祉擺在第一。
