Cleveland (my continuing commentary)
Around a dozen cops fire 137 shots, into a car, killing two unarmed Blacks. The prosecutor charges one with manslaughter, because he and he alone climbed upon the hood of the suspects' (black = suspect) car and emptied his gun while firing through the windshield.

 He was acquitted Saturday of criminal charges by a judge who said he could not determine that the officer alone fired the fatal shots. And the people in Cleveland do not seem to understand that the judge  was forced to his conclusion by a prosecutor-engineer. Fear the cops; fear the prosecutors more; FBI Director Comey and his foolish opinions be damned (Comey, in a speech a Georgetown University, several months ago, asserted @9:40, and beyond, that legal inequities had little or nothing to do with biased policing prosecutors or judges. Tell him to look at the SDPD data.)

Well played Mr. Prosecutor!

The Justice Department will be reviewing the case. This is the Justice Department that did not notice (or act on the information) that Whites use drugs at around the same rate as Blacks but that Blacks were four times as likely to go to prison for it, and for a longer term; no litanies today.

According to Denise Viera, the Justice Department has 20 lawyers assigned to Civil Rights matters. Perhaps,  in part, because of this staffing problem, this same Justice Department assigned the PERF characters, who spent a full year investigating police misconduct, yet failed to include the misconduct that affects Blacks and Hispanics to a massively disproportionate degree. Moreover some aspect of it is a revenue generator.

Meanwhile this City Council is attempting to allow a SDSU professor to sit on findings from his data analysis -which findings are intending to determine if the SDPD practices biased or targeted policing-  for 10 months. I suppose the simple plain language of the Rose memorandum is insufficient.

Videos can and will be defeated by clever manipulative prosecutors who wish to nullify the evidentiary value that they contain. In New York we had 5 fat cops involved in the take-down of a big fat guy. Four are given immunity in exchange for their testimony against the one who applied the choke-hold.  The video shows some fat cops on top of the fat guy, pinning him to the ground, while one has the choke-hold applied,

The Grand Jury is asked if Pantaleo, the choke-holder, caused big Eric's death.  The video shows that Pantaleo AND others contributed to Garner's death. Moreover, big Eric suffered from asthma and a heart condition and his obesity was obvious.

Well played Mr. Prosecutor. That the Grand Jury could not conclude that Pantaleo ALONE caused Garner's death was a foregone and prosecutor-engineered conclusion.  

And today the U.S. Attorney General announced that, after investigating for one year, the U.S. DOJ has found that the City of Cleveland in a Pattern and Practice of using excessive force and has or will enter into a "Consent Decree" agreement with the DOJ, bloody wonderful. 

I suppose that had the conclusion been arrived at two weeks ago, that twelve year-old terrorist with the toy gun would have had a greater chance of surviving that encounter.. 

Chris Rock asked "how come they never shoot white kids?" I have nothing to add other than yesterday the Missouri AG admitted that his state's use-of-force statute is unconstitutional. He should have made this known before last Monday. Better yet, he should have appeared before and said so to the Grand Jury looking into the Mike Brown affair.

The sin of sloth.

The truth:She is so precious that often she must be protected by a bodyguard of lies (about threats)

 In the van we find the feckless and reckless fucker, Xavier Becerra (shadowed by the obverse on the same coin, William Barr) kicking up dust to deflect; to detract to direct us to shiny objects. Objects that would absorb our attention; objects that when examined are or will found to be bullshit. Don't blame me, for even cursory examination of Becerra's pronouncements produce evidence of his lack of character! No wonder the CHP and the Department of Justice are both infected. As Barr, by implication, threatens those who began the investigation of TrumpelThinSkin, we have Becerra unleashing his errand-boy, Montano The Illiterate, who doubtless failed at reading comprehension, to threaten me; no matter what he says now or shall. The errand-boy, who, in a former life, was certified as a Jackass, claims or asserts that he found something threatening in this passage: Soon after, insulted, un-surprised but not enraged, 1, by a communication  posted on its web-site, asked POST t

Hylton Remembers: While The Mich Cows Remain Productive and The Beatings are Unabated

 Around 1970, when I was but a wee boy, of nineteen, Nikita Khrushchev published a memoir: Khrushchev Remembers. I liked the sound of the title and emulate it often. Hylton remembers that POST, the sister Agency of the CA-DOJ, the one that launched the investigation that brought about Montana’s investigation of Hylton, including the interception of his mail, was an award-winner too .  Yes, on recollection, the YouTube video and perhaps RIPA documents and including items on YouTube, claim, rather trumpet, that POST’s video productions, a central part of its now, much reviled curriculum, was an award winner too.   The following is what the California Department of Justice has to say about its ward, or its ward's the award-winning spawn or relative:   After the DPA’s award-winning 2020 audit of SFPD’s use of force policy, SFPD implemented about half of DPA’s recommendations by June 2022. The DPA is increasingly closing cases based on evidence, rather than claiming the evidence insuff

Data Availability, Data Integrity and Other Fictions

    In the within, I wrote about the mayhem or “rodgering” caused by “Consensual Encounters Resulting in a Search” when searches were not conducted , and other forms of fiction that compose much of California Department of Justice-provided Stop Data. Outside of this, I have importuned the CA-DOJ about its misrepresentations in claiming to have complied with the legal requirements contained in Article 6. Audits and Validation, § 999.229 of AB953. Included in my rants were regular references to the admonitions of Chief Medrano, a current employee of the CA-DOJ; the clearest that I have heard on the matter of Data Integrity, Auditing and Validation.   Early this year, or late last year, I found occasion to adjure the CA-DOJ on the matter again. In that adjuration I referred to the participation of CA-DOJ’s own personnel in the publication of an excellent discourse, rather a manual, on Stop Data Collection. It is a document that, by definition, incorporates procedures meant to ensur
