Wondering what the world and our nation will look like as time marches on, not saying as we move forward, because in many ways we are moving backwards.

@GaryVanson In an effort to further militarize a civilian police force we have RPD. Will they be screening for PTSD?

[Annmarie @amvanson]

@CountyExecBello Agreed, but the culprit here is the DA’s office. They neglected to hold a preliminary hearing, which is designed to minimize jail time before a finding of guilt. They didn’t do that, the judge corrected that by releasing the man with conditions.

@GaryVanson @AcctProgressive @JohnnyFiorica @rsgaddy20 Personal troubles negatively impact on the job performance and this can only contribute to a community’s distrust of them.

@Karmabih_jE @MrAndyNgo @rachbarnhart Like the January 6th people?

@AcctProgressive @gcraig1 Oh the poor old the GVC suffer.

@BobLonsberry The plastic cube was provided by a private group not the bus company.

@Marcus4Roc So it’s not just the Puerto Rican festival that results in obnoxious behavior. The mayors office needs to be on notice.

@AcctProgressive @GaryVanson @RochesterRants @rsgaddy20 @marylupienroc @rachbarnhart @GinoFanelli The Locust Club has abdicated other functions over the year: parking monitors, crossing guards, dispatchers, property clerk, and technicians. There are civilians who write police reports. The city could have just done it and dealt with the consequences.

@AcctProgressive @GaryVanson @RochesterRants @rsgaddy20 @marylupienroc @rachbarnhart @GinoFanelli The Crisis Team emerged when City Council wanted to pretend they were taking money away from RPD. They moved FACIT out from under RPD and turned it into the Crisis Team. FACIT had a 30+ year history. It could have just as easily stayed where it was and expanded its operation…

@GaryVanson These members of City Council had the opportunity to watch the BWC. Other departments release BWC videos immediately. RPD should do the same. Let the people see for themselves.

So exactly what did the passenger plead guilty to? The article does not give the reader the necessary details.

One of two brothers facing charges in connection to a high-speed chase that led to a crash in Brighton that killed a 92-year-old man has accepted a plea deal that includes a 10-year prison sentence.

@GaryVanson @BobLonsberry @BobDuffyROC @BobLonsberry you surprise me.

3/3 The primary job of the police is harm reduction. They cannot prevent all crimes nor can they solve them all. But they can take actions that can help people & neighborhoods without arrests. It requires alternative action and follow up. This is doable.

1/3Recently I over heard a conversation between a neighbor and a member of the RPD. The neighbor was asking what could be done about a homeless man who is living in a bus shelter. He has now moved furniture onto the sidewalk. The officer responded with the police mantra:

2/3 “If he does anything illegal I could give him an appearance ticket but then he would be right back.” The neighbor nodded understanding the futility of the situation. That is a false narrative. There are interventions that the RPD has access to which might be helpful.

[Annmarie @amvanson]

Why is a dead person called “a body”?

[News 8 WROC @News_8]

Police are conducting an investigation on Oscar Street. News 8 has a crew at the scene and is working to learn more. #roc https://t.co/nEIqL5x65u

@GaryVanson They were struck. They were there as a barrier between the protesters and the police. They did not engage in throwing projectiles of any type.
