He called for his mother

Seeing approaching death, George Floyd cried for his mother; two years dead.

Seeing approaching death, Jesus cried for his father:

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.
which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?  Mark 15:34.

When some of those standing nearby heard this, they said, "Behold, He is calling Elijah." 

Jesus a bible scholar, and Rabbi (teacher) was speaking in Aramaic;  quoting a Psalm. Something that doubtless he would have known, since, as a child, he would often "runn oft"  to the temple engaging in debates with priests and rabbis, whenever his parents went to Jerusalem. This conduct that caused concern to Mother Mary. To this concern, Jesus replied "Wist ye not that I should be about my father's business." He was not talking about Joseph or carpentry.


I do not know if George Floyd called for his mother, in the ninth minute.


Like George Floyd, I may never recover; homicide by asphyxia; for this may haunt me forever. But at least, I have life.

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...

Self-Inflicted Wounds are quite useful

April 6, 2014 Richard Hylton 13166 Jane Court San Diego, CA 92129 HyltonRichard@gmail.com By Email On the day that preceded the presentation of Vehicle Stop Data, by the SDPD, an email was circulated with this leading sentence. Update:   After reviewing the year-long   data   on race released by SDPD, there are major differences between what the   data   showed at 8 months versus at the end of 12 months. We don’t know why the numbers are so different (e.g. the number of stops per month fell significantly between January and December), but this underlines the need for a thorough, independent analysis of the   data   that can be communicated to the public. In light of this development, we have updated the ACLU’s comments below. The above was shocking and surprising, since it came from a writer who knew that a significant –some would say dramatic- fall-off in data collection rates had occurred in the fourth quarter. Evidence of the ...

Deception

Background The United States Department of Justice has an opinion and position that is at odds with that of the San Diego Police Department. It holds that: "The guarantee to all persons of equal protection under the law is one of the most fundamental principles of our democratic society. Law enforcement officers should not endorse or act upon stereotypes, attitudes, or beliefs that a person’s race, ethnicity, or national origin increases that person’s general propensity to act unlawfully. There is no tradeoff between effective law enforcement and protection of the civil rights of all Americans; we can and must have both." In 2011, during litigation, Vehicle Stop data for the prior two years was sought. The City of San Diego, in sworn and other statements or filings, denied having any Vehicle Stop Data and convinced the court of that fact. In January 2013 I learned that the City had committed perjury. Following that I obtained and distributed Vehicle Stop...
