Telling the new lie was just a matter of time; or as I call it, a matter of transparency

The piece on your website today that featured incoming chief Nisleit, is more of the same. It is not “fake news” but it is “weak news”, and so it is not news. It fails to accurately represent the essential findings of a watered-down report that was prepared by your station’s license holder, San Diego State University.  I daresay that the fine folk from SDSU, despite their inability to understand the nature of data, found much more than what you have stated. The widespread disparities, requiring corrective action as reported by SDSU, went well beyond searches, alone. Indeed, the most massive disparity was in the use of Field Interviews, an item from Nisliet’s wheelhouse.


The above is an attempt at a remedy for it is an excerpt of my still incomplete measurement analysis for 2017 Stop Data (I am focused on San Francisco's) 

Additionally, I have little doubt that you know that Councilman Cate, “the leaker” committed the city to the production of Stop Data reports, around a year ago, as a part of the motion for the acceptance of the now aged report, the one dating back to 2014 and 2015. You should know, as does the public that reads that Zimmerman refused to do such reports. To put it bluntly, the reports are aged, dating back to 2014 and 2015 because the SDPD refused or failed to update them.
I would not give a shilling for that which you are doing.

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

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

Duffy United States Attorney U.S. Attorney's Office Federal Office Building 880 Front Street, Room 6293 San Diego, CA 92101 The Honorable Vanita Gupta Civil Rights Division U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington D.C. 20530 Re: Racial Profiling or Biased-policing City of San Diego and disturbing recent trend Dear Ms. Duffy and Ms. Gupta: I represent no one other than myself. Most people would be outraged if they knew what I know. On numerous occasions, I informed the United States Justice Department, California Department of Justice, and anyone else who may have a passing interest, that the City of San Diego is unique in terms of its use of racial profiling in policing decisions. Within the last 30, or so, days, others have echoed similar sentiments or views. I join with the Att
