Peer review has gone well; author I cite replied "I found your post on Eleazer Early and his kin to be fascinating." I return from Jackson Democracy feeling slightly soiled.

@tdhacker @EdWilso33943109 @k_rambo_ Part of US v City of PDX, I advocated for psych assistance throughout officer career. PPA went ape. PPB culture depicts after-action eval as unmanly, "Riding a desk." As w training eval; PPB are not a self-reflective lot. Cops dislike questioning, prefer unquestioned compliance.

Not only does @JH4PDX campaign emerge from success in #SmallDonation constituency, @OpenPortland reports her opponents draw more contributions from beyond PDX, take more out-of-state $. Whose agenda is being voted on?

[Jo Ann for Portland | One Portland for Everyone @JH4PDX]

We are a people-powered campaign. One way you can tell?

Jo Ann's average donation: $56.71.

2/2 Dozens of entities share responsibility for regulation & scrutiny, responsibility to hold local police accountable. Doctors, academics, media investigators; not all are intuitively linked to justice delivery failure.

1/2 "People who did hiring, supervised training, set budgets, devised legal architecture & created incentives" need to be held accountable as justice is misdelivered. Corporations would address systemic failure. Disparate political entities act surprised.

@kmahoneylaw Some will remember PDX falsely portrayed PPB homicide victim James Chasse as possessed of drugs. Then as mentally ill. City perpetrators serially depict victims as in need of extrajudicial killing. In this case, to shunt awareness from likelihood that Chasse was stomped to death.

@kmahoneylaw Some will remember PDX falsely portrayed PPB homicide victim Keaton Otis as a Gang Member. Then mentally ill. City perpetrators serially depict victims as in need of extrajudicial killing. In this case, to shunt awareness from likelihood that Otis was unarmed and compliant.

Long chat this morning with Luann Pannell, director of the LAPD training division. We'll have her speak at the Mental Health Alliance in January about shaping the new "academic dean" position at PPB.

Earth just had its fourth-warmest October on record.

Octobers have warmed by 1.3 degrees F per century since 1880, making Octobers today nearly two degrees F warmer on average than they used to be. Learn more from @NOAAClimate: https://t.co/FjdczmIvEX

Today is an excellent day to donate to the Chúush Fund to restore water access for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. They haven't had clean running water since 2019. https://t.co/vTuNV0vEOf

@AlissaAzar Few justice advocates realize, in the rush for Body-Worn Cameras, that lenses face the wrong way. We need PSAs making copwatching a civic responsibility ... a public good. A neighborly thing to do.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Did you know it's possible to talk to someone and interview them without sharing their political ideology or agreeing with them on all or even any of their views? This premise was foundational to journalism before digital outlets degraded journalism into an ideological mission.

@JohnLeroyBrown @MacSmiff PDX City Atty hid Kapitän Kruger's Nazism from civil suit. After he was outed, PPB Chief tasked Kruger with delivering command staff training … targeting anti-war protesters who had sued. Corrupt culture reinforcement.

@MacSmiff Took a course on Alternative Futures: unleashed imagination engendered contagious fun. Gotta introduce what's possible before choosing what to nurture. I imagine coming to agreement is always going to be a little less fun, but to BUILD a preferred future = delayed gratification.

@NoviceAnarchist @JakeDockter @NickKristof @nytimes Thanks @NoviceAnarchist. "Putin has steered Russia from a dictatorship of the left to a dictatorship of the right (Chinese leaders have done much the same thing)." I contend top China families will meet inherited US wealth at Authoritarian Capitalism.

When I tallied the data on traffic stops in Jefferson Parish by race, I could hardly believe the results myself.

@RichardAWebster's investigation shows what a lack of data can indicate about racial profiling https://t.co/bvX5sYRs2k
