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 Poverty Penalty

May 21, 2016 Richard Hylton CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED The Honorable Laura E. 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...
