Teams had too many Guinnesses before the start of the this game. Sloppy start in Ireland! Why we love college football though

@ClueHeywood Nvm I had it confused for a second with North Central Sports Bar which is also on Northern. Been away from Phoenix too long. Dave’s is great along with its sister bars in Glendale.

@CodyUlm Ute legend!

@ClueHeywood @kentsomers Oh, I’m sure he bragged to me later on about being recognized.

@PizaEric @jnixy Came here to post this as well! Skogan and Mastrofski’s Community Policing chapters are particularly excellent.

[Logan Somers @Logz22]

@ian_t_adams Correct. We also acknowledge on pg. 22 that if we adjusted the RFCS to allow for low levels of hands on physical force the number of escalated incidents would drop to 31 cases. Ultimately, we are talking about very small, albeit important, instances of escalation.

[Logan Somers @Logz22]

@ian_t_adams Absolutely! Feel free to reach out to Bill or I whenever. There is also a lot of additional coding information in the supplemental methodological appendix online. Have a great summer!

[Logan Somers @Logz22]

@ian_t_adams We acknowledge how the RFCS we used can be adjusted in future work as well. Ultimately, this study was a unique opportunity to apply a rigorous methodology (SSO) with recorded officer-citizen interactions to come closer to measuring an ambiguous concept (proportionality).

[Logan Somers @Logz22]

@ian_t_adams While pat downs/cuffing are rarely considered “reportable force”, there is little doubt that compliant citizens would feel as though physical coercion was used against them if they were patted and/or cuffed for no clear or articulated reason.
