Justice (Department) Delayed is Justice Denied

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.

Collecting, Categorizing and Analyzing Demographic Data in San Diego in the years of the Profiling Plague.

A letter essentially identical to the below was sent to Chief Lansdowne on the date indicated. I refrained from using my preferred expression "bullshit detector" and instead used the lame "balderdash detector." I must and will do better. February 15, 2014 William Lansdowne Chief, San Diego Police Department By email to : sdpdpolicechief @pd.sandiego.gov Subsequent to my communication, to you, that contained my analysis of 2013 stop data , I located one or more Official San Diego documents that contained other analyses and officer comments. The analyses were not at odds with mine. So were the observations and comments, including those of the officers and supervisors. I harbour no doubt that you are familiar with all of them. Aside from directing you to the obvious, i.e. the possibility of constituting stop analysis data from Citation data [1] , I will let you re-read them for yourself.

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...

Even More Fatally Flawed And Still Unfit for Purpose or The Great Distraction

Subject: RIPA Advisory Board – More Fatally Flawed and Still Unfit for Purpose   I wanted to wait until I came into possession of the actual 2025 Annual RIPA Report, before writing this, but I found myself between a rock and a hard place. My strongest motivator was fear; fear of reading a newspaper or web-account of the RIPA results or seeing a TV Broadcast that is ruled by lies and/or happy talk. I remember last year too well.  I also feared that, as was the case with the reports from the last few years, the RIPA Report, to which the press has early or immediate access, would not become available to me for several days.  Because of that, I decided to write this.   “Racial Discrimination is an inference that may be drawn from Racial Disparities.” In the absence of other inferences, or plausible explanations, our choices become limited.   There is an abundance of racial disparities to be found in RIPA data. I am unaware of any adverse disparity that has...
