Alcohol consumption does not excuse sexual assault. Being drunk does not excuse sexual assault. Getting blacked out does not excuse sexual assault.

Rulings like this perpetuate victim-blaming and false notions of consent.

Another example of protester-police tension with many layers: officers arrive in tactical gear, protesters respond with flashing lights, police responded with rubber bullets and arrests-amidst a homelessness crisis and a pandemic..

And I wonder what racial disparities might exist related to police misconduct complaints and sustained outcomes... would it be similar to what Headley and colleagues (2020) found in their recent Chicago police study?

A step towards police misconduct transparency and accountability, so much data! I wonder how many complaints were/were not followed up... (given our readings, I’m guessing about 90% of these allegations had no repercussions)... @jgaub_uncc #cjus6130

"It's not the individual cops-as bad as they are [that are the problem]. It's the culture." Mr. Serpico also refers to speaking out as "breaching the blue wall," pointing to the color blue as a symbol of police/police culture.

This recent article reviews two books that examine day-to-day police work and positions both within the "defund the police" movement. Notably, cynicism was stated as being one of the greatest threats to effective police work.

Aaron Appelhans has made history in Wyoming, as he has been elected as the first Black sheriff in the state. Increasing police diversity was discussed at length in this weeks' readings, and this election is a sign of progress.

Although not technically a "current" event, I wanted to share this NZ police recruitment video that I came across during our weekly readings. So charming! Would a similar recruitment video work in the US? To diversify the police? @jgaub_uncc

#cjus6130 This article introduces “Accountable Now,” a new database that aims to gather data on police use of force (an understudied feature of policing discussed in this weeks readings) by using publicly available data. @jgaub_uncc
