Musings of a crackpot

The California Department of Justice has had the power and obligation to take all necessary steps to ensure that the laws of the State are equally applied and that persons are not denied the protections of the California and United States Constitutions, on prohibited bases. That the CA-DOJ has failed in this undertaking; has failed spectacularly is not open to debate; see first its 11 month-tardy implementation of  the base requirements of AB953. The CA_DOJ has had access to Sacramento's Database of Police interactions which Database are the basis for officer evaluation— an early warning system—and failed to act on it. That the local stewards of the business of the City of Sacramento, failed to curtail the exercise of the baser instincts of the "S hootists", of recent renown, is worse. Their inclinations towards Blacks shine plain and have done so for years. There is at least 2 years of data to prove it. At this writing, I do not have the identification of the individu...

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. ...

Around two weeks ago, VOSD published a piece that asserted that the SDSU-produced report was  watered-down . The piece claimed that there were several places where analysts had made findings of "bias" but had changed those findings to findings of "disparity." All that water evoked remembrance of The Rime of The Ancient Mariner. It is a [an ancient Mariner] racist policeman,  And he stoppeth one of three.  'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,  Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?  Following that watering-down revelation, Myrtle Cole, full of fury, had her say. So did the ACLU. They both know better and so both signify nothing, for either or both saw the barely-hidden water can(s) as early as fall 2014 . And some of you, certainly, saw evidence of or heard complaints about the strangeness of SDPD data by spring 2015 . Do not allow yourself to be beguiled by stalking horses; horses placed in the public pasture on behalf of persons with inf...
