Police accountability advocates organized in response to the 2011 Cincinnati police killing of David “Bones” Hebert. Acts 4:20. Lawyered up.

Bones' killer, serial fuckup Andrew Mitchell is a classic case of “Cop of the Year” syndrome. –@radleybalko https://t.co/SPcf3X6lnv

[Comrade Ohio @ComradeOhio]

Akron has 228 officers per 100k residents. That's more officers per population than 86% of police departments.
Ohio is a bipartisan police state.

Cincinnati has 150-200% more officers per capita than her regional peers, concentrated in 1/3 the geographical footprint.

My new favorite chart by @TheBasinLA:

[Patrick Jaicomo @pjaicomo]

There’s already a bill—the Bivens Act—tailor-made to create a constitutional cause of action against federal officials and nothing more (or less).

It adds 5 words to Section 1983.

Congress should pass it.

On the same day CPD cuts off the media's ability to cover active public safety incidents in the city by fully encrypting radio traffic, they have the arrogance to ask the media to cover a graduation.

An Iceland based web hosting company has refused to take down a website with leaked data on DHS personnel. It’s probably too late anyway, because the database is all over the internet: https://t.co/oi3jEIK9Ks

@equalityAlec he's been making the rounds arguing against defunding by saying LA and Berlin are the same size but Berlin has more cops. It's not even an apples to apples demographic comparison, but LA also spends 50% more to have fewer cops. And Berlin polices differently with the cops it has.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Malcolm Gladwell just published a new book and gone on one popular show after another arguing that the U.S. needs to massively expand the profitable police surveillance state. The entire argument is based on an embarrassing factual error.

The thousands of unauthorized Flock searches by a Highland Heights dispatcher are an example of potential abuses of the technology as experts weigh pros and cons. https://t.co/OHSPMYrGYO

Until the Cops' own pensions are at risk from the lawsuits, nothing will change

[Joseph Cox @josephfcox]

New: the DHS officials who tried to search the man who wiped his GrapheneOS phone lied. They pushed him about having child abuse images. Documents reveal that was a pretext; he wasn't suspected of this at all. He's a Stop Cop City activist https://t.co/zrsME3rBux

[Austin Kocher, PhD @ackocher]

A federal judge in Brooklyn on October 15 dismissed the Justice Department's lawsuit against New York City's sanctuary policies, writing that no federal law obligates states to take part in immigration enforcement.

@alex_nicole4 @U_arctos it’s like saying there should only be sales tax on things you borrow.

[John Shjarback @Shjarback_CCJ]

Police use of force tends to vary by place – even depending on how space is measured. (what think we know).

@alex_nicole4 @U_arctos i think it’s terrible that you can’t tell if i’m serious.
