A new database on police use of force and misconduct in California makes public 1.5 million pages of once-secret police records
-
The database — the first of its kind in the nation — will vastly expand public access to internal affairs records that disclose how law enforcement agencies throughout the state handle misconduct allegations as well as uses of police force that result in death or serious injury. The database, funded by the State of California, currently has records from nearly 12,000 cases, including thousands involving police shootings. Every record in the database was released by a law enforcement agency after being redacted in compliance with California’s public records laws. As a result, journalists and members of the public will now be able to search statewide for particular types of misconduct and use-of-force. Police chiefs will be able to use the data to aid in hiring decisions. Researchers will be able to identify trends and patterns.

If Trump is allowed to run again, there should be violent insurrection. If there isn’t, this country is lost.

We're already lost. Trump is a symptom, not the disease

We couldn't even GOTV to slow this process down, what makes you think we'll do a revolution?

If Trump is not allowed to run again, we certainly will see another violent insurrection.
This is assuming we will have a honest and fair election which, by all accounts, is looking less and less likely

Fuck that, BC, WA, Oregon and Cali break off and form the nation of Cascadia.

BC seems like it has more in common with the rest of the west coast than Alberta.

This is just California AND what they've found to make public. Imagine all the shit they haven't released yet and that is so for everywhere else.

I'm sick of this expression. Because we sure as fuck can cure ourselves with that fuck head around.
