Justice (Department) Delayed is Justice Denied


An E mail having roughly these contents, was sent to the California DOJ on Saturday Sept 5, 2015

subject:If any question why they died say its because the DOJ dallied
mailed-by:gmail.com


The title  or subject line from Kipling's Epitaphs of the (Great) War (written while mourning his son, John.)

If any question why we died
Tell them, because our fathers lied.


On or around August 23, 2015, I wrote the attached or linked communication. It was delivered to the DOJ on or Around August 30, 2015. I had notified the DOJ and the DMV about elements of this mess years ago; and repeatedly. To kill them you have to stop them first.

On or around September 2, 2015, your initiative was announced; serendipitous I say, but tardy too, because your department, and the country, as a whole, has long known of these things, but chose to deny them. With videos, the denials have subsided but have not disappeared. The videos need a) enhancement; b) re-enactment; c) do not tell the whole story; d) need to be withheld from the public (who cannot be allow to trust their lying eyes.) Since some have criticized the documented police murders, there is "War on the Police." There has been humour too. The policeman directing a group  or marching protesters, who chanted "Pigs in a Blanket, fry them like bacon", was heard to broadcast, over his radio, "Well at least everyone likes bacon." Some in positions of leadership, in this city, seized upon the chant  by claiming it was a call to murder cops.

For the foregoing reasons, I shall not permit you, or anyone, to cast any of the data, that you now show, as something "new"; other than the "newness" of your paying  attention or being being focused on these things. You do not have my interests at heart. Concealment is your game. Play alone; but first:

An answer to the Attorney General's question; "What are the numbers?" she said. "What are the facts around how we can improve these numbers and improve the situation?" may be found in my August communication under the caption or heading Statistics. The mentioned Appendix is linked here.
As is obvious, from what little I have sent, a significant number of the dead were initially contacted through vehicle stops, of the "chicken shi[1]t" variety, as we saw happen in Ferguson, Carolina, Texas and Cincinnati,Ohio and elsewhere.

San Diego's data shows that, here, people are stopped for being Black and, to a lesser degree, for being Hispanic as a direct result of the training curriculum and other training regimen that are employed by the SDPD. All or the foregoing are a). "facts that we know that we can actually quantify, that can help influence public policy", and b). can be proven or supported by statistical or mathematical formulae; the very items that the AG seeks.



Finally; In the next stanza of his poem of penance[2], Kipling became prophetic, but some here would put this to another use:

I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

I will write again next week to point out the shortcomings of your data sets and shall be making suggestions; lots of them.


[1]  According to the prosecutor in the Cincinnati case, where Mr. Dubose was murdered. 
[2] The champion of imperialism had forced the boy to enlist and, when he was found to have physical shortcomings, had “pulled strings” to have him accepted.

Not a Shark Tale

About a week ago, one of my many daily emails was more than a little bit interesting. I believe it came from the Los Angeles Times. These communications usually close with a short tale from contributors that describes a California experience. In the instant story, this person had gone to the beach and found him or herself in the midst of a school of playful dolphins. The recounter was impressed by the magical nature of California life. My story is the same, but some would not think so. It was about 1967 during summer vacation. One of the clique, composed of Gladstone Douglas, Clive Mollison, Claude Foster and the writer, decided to build a raft- superior to that used by Tom and Huck, I assure you. Since Jumbo's (Gladstone Douglas) house was a mere 50 metres from the sea (Kingston Harbour) the engineering works were sited there. The chief engineer produced a contraption where an oil drum was placed at either end, and each was secured, by rope, to a "bed" made of 2 X 4s...

Berkeley; the bastion of progressive values?

April 26, 2018 Yesterday, I sent the within to the Mayor of Berkeley and others, in the mayor's office, as listed. Much nothing will come of it; not until Berkeley is sued for some  atrocity in policing. Believe me, it is just a matter of time. Doubtless we will have the usual protestations, denials and promises. The lot below shall not be able to say that they did not know of the rot; the oppression; the bias. Berkeley's data is, for want of a polite expression, piss-poor. This opinion may be partly driven by the fact that the data is not in the form that Berkeley represents it to be; that over 3,400 records have no demographic data, and that it leaves out some of the most basic, the most common, policing data elements. On the other hand, it carries data of other persons involved in the stop, but one cannot determine who is driver and who is passenger. It is, as it is, but it tells the same old story, and it tells plenty; albeit less vividly than most other places. Mayor...
