At one point on the first day of grand jury deliberations, one of the prosecutors laments to the jurors that they can’t play all the body cam videos because of time. A juror responds loudly: “We got time!”— Roberto Aram Ferdman (@robferdman) October 2, 2020

The timing of this sucks, because it is getting swept away by Trump's positive covid test. Preliminary reports sound like the prosecutors just threw some shit in front of the jury and said, "What do you think?", which afaik is not how these things usually work.

Sherriff should be arrested. "hey we didn't know if they were going to kidnap the governor or just make a totally valid citizens arrest?" Is that really his argument?

Gov. Andy Beshear and others reacted with outrage Friday after learning Kentucky State Police training materials used quotes from Adolph Hitler and advised trainees to become “the ruthless killer.”The story was initially reported by two student journalists at duPont Manual High School in Louisville and published online by the school’s newspaper, the Manual RedEye.The presentation used in the past was immediately denounced by some for emphasizing violence from police rather than minimizing force and reducing conflict.The slideshow titled “The Warrior Mindset” includes a quote from Hitler’s Mein Kampf: “The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence.”“It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge,” states another quote attributed to Hitler in the PowerPoint presentation, which the student newspaper posted online.

burrito what is going on
― error prone wolf syndicate (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 31 October 2020 21:45 (three years ago) link
basically I see them as a distraction, though they could turn out to be worse than that
Research on the impacts that body-worn cameras have on policing is mixed. Some studies have found that cops who wear them are less likely to use force or be the subject of civilian complaints. But a 2017 randomized control trial that included over 2,000 police officers in Washington, DC, found that the effect of body cams was too small to be statistically significant: Officers who wore the cameras used force and received complaints at about the same rate as their colleagues who didn’t. A 2016 analysis of 10 previous studies of body cameras also found that they had “no discernible effect” on the use of force, and actually increased the likelihood of an officer being assaulted.That’s reflected in the experience of some law enforcement officials themselves. “You forget about the body camera pretty quickly,” says Betsy Smith, a retired police sergeant with almost 30 years of experience. “It doesn’t change our behavior, because most cops are just going out there and doing their job. If people think, Let’s get these cops body cameras to change their behavior, I think that’s really naive, and frankly it’s kind of insulting to law enforcement.” But Smith isn’t opposed to body cameras. She says she’s in favor of equipping every police officer in the country with one, but not necessarily because filming cops keeps them accountable.By design, body-worn cameras point outwards into the world, often aiding police officers in monitoring communities, rather than helping communities watch police. And surveillance technology is only growing more sophisticated: At least one body cam manufacturer has pitched adding live facial recognition as a feature to police departments, OneZero reported earlier this year.

In 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice laid out nine ways in which Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson and his deputies violated people’s constitutional rights in the county, through “a pattern or practice of discriminatory policing.”The DOJ, under the Obama administration, filed a lawsuit over the accusations, but a Republican-appointed federal judge threw out the suit. The DOJ appealed, then agreed to drop its legal threats in exchange for Johnson agreeing to actions including “bias-free policing” training for his deputies.Johnson since been re-elected sheriff twice, in 2014 and 2018. Both times, no one ran against him.

like anyone who would safety pin an ACAB patch onto the punk jacket of dialogue, table is smart enough to know that all cops aren't actually worthless pieces of shit, just like anyone with a gun in their hand doesn't automatically turn into a killer. it's just a kewl thing to say to provoke a reaction and trick the blue lives matter crowd into engaging with it. I get that! and I'm a dope for letting it irritate me.
but I also shared some details on a police shooting in my neighborhood from a few months ago because I was kinda interested in getting an ACAB person's take on it. like, what exactly did the cops do wrong here in this particular instance? what could/should they have done differently? I guess I'm just hoping for some sort of an acknowledgement that no, not all cops are Derek Chauvin and yes, every fatal shooting unfolds under unique circumstances and it all needs to be taken into consideration if you want to actually understand the ways policing can be improved. I don't actually think that acknowledgement will substantially change anything, but if you honestly think all cops are inherently irredeemable, do you also think systematic improvement is an impossibility?
