It follows research showing that oximeters – which monitor oxygen levels in the blood and are used to assess whether Covid patients need life-saving treatment – are less accurate on people with darker skin
Last year in Oakland, Highway Patrol cameras spied on us speaking at vigils, kneeling, participating in die-ins, making signs, & even handing out water & dancing.
They spend all this money spying on us.
It'd be better spent on schools, housing, libraries, etc.
Important reporting leading to important questions. But to be clear:
A “diversion program for people cited by deputies for infractions related to walking and bicycling” for the first time is not decriminalization. And it will NOT stop LASD from continuing its racist stops.
TY @SupNoraVargas for calling @SDSheriff on his dog whistle tactics to try to conflate the San Diego-Tijuana border with violence & threats to public safety. Our binational community is vibrant & essential to our region. #2021SDTRUTHActForum#StopICETransfers
The fact that @SDSheriff calls immigrants "aliens" when so many of us are in the room, says a lot about his disconnect with the community he is supposed to "serve and protect". #TRUTHact2021

Another attempt by SDPD to dismiss the numerous studies and lived experience of residents calling out systemic racial profiling. Just another transparent attempt at PR theater. Pillars of the Community President @KhalidPalexand take is bellow. https://t.co/lYx1sJnrYo
