The time is not right

Thank God!

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

funny if true but that is an awfully accurate and powerful throw. I'd say the Sox should sign him if true but we are so stacked we don't have room in a rotation above A.

I'd say the Cubs should sign him but their coaches would ruin him and then the fans would send him racist letters.

What is the next step? I think the message has been heard by those that are opening their ears, eyes and minds. The message has most peoples attention now so how does society take the next step and actually begin to fix this? There is a group in Madison here who is demanding the abolition of the police and the release of prisoners from jail or they will keep destroying property. I mean its one group, its in madison of all places and its probably a small percentage of people demonstrating but they threw out clear demands.

I thought the various mayors, reps....that were joining marches was powerful and hopefully more do so. Hopefully some true leadership emerges from the ashes of this as most of those in positions of power are just dickheads trying to win votes.

I do also think it would be good for a release and discussion of the "analytics" of police abuse. I think all of us could use the coolness of the hard numbers behind the rhetoric.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Nobody really wants that though. Especially politicians.

The fact that the statistics aren't widely cited to the point that you dont know them already tells you all you need to know about the hard analytics.

It's easier to just repeat something over and over until it becomes truth.

The "enhanced training" is just going to feature a bunch of connected city contractors getting giant consulting gigs to stage workshops and seminars that the cops blow off and dont take seriously. The police by-and-large know what does and doesn't get them in trouble but there is a colossal problem in that all it takes is one of the over one million police officers in America to fuck up once on camera for people to go into a full scale riot.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Yes, but those numbers will show less racial bias than perception, so they won't be taken seriously.

But these numbers don’t tell the whole story. While the nationwide total of people killed by police nationwide has remained steady, the numbers have dropped significantly in America’s largest cities, likely due to reforms to use-of-force policies implemented in the wake of high-profile deaths. Those decreases, however, have been offset by increases in police killings in more suburban and rural areas. It seems that solutions that can reduce police killings exist, in other words — the issue may be whether an area has the political will to enact them.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

No it just takes one in over a million doing it that happens to be recorded. Let's not get it twisted. The only reason we are having this discussion is because it was recorded. It wasn't because he committed the violation.

And I say this as a person that isn't really anti police. I do understand that the rules are heavily tilted in their favor however when it comes to this sort of thing.

I'm not sure that's true but we are moving towards data driven society. I think each of us would find some preconceptions erased by the data.

I don't say by FACTS of course, because stats can also make liars of us all.
