Minneapolis mayor, police chief call proposal to cut department funding 'irresponsible and untenable'
By artappraiser on Mon, 11/30/2020 - 6:18pm |
Both said they support community alternatives to policing, but not at a drastic cost of staffing.
Minneapolis's Mayor pushes back on proposal to cut police funding as shootings and violent crime spiking in city https://t.co/tzY5mcDIgm

There's something libertarian about politicians being taken to task only for police abuses under their watch but not record homicides in many parts of the country taking place under their watch. Doesn't the state have an obligation to protect people, not just not abuse them? https://t.co/4B866dlt0U
So for instance, Ferguson, MO was the target of intense media scrutiny following the killing of Michael Brown, which was ruled justified, and the use of predatory ticketing/fees, which weren't. But no one is held accountable for record homicide rates in the metro area this year?
Does the government have a responsibility to protect people from homicide or only to prevent a potential police abuse from occurring?
I imagine if you're Jeff Bezos and have a team of ex-Special Forces people protecting you or whatever he has, you'd be fine with the standards set as they are now, where no politicians are held accountable for under-policing and record homicides mostly impacting the poor.

Try to keep up, you're still falling for faux solidarity messages of yore! It's every color and gender and "community" for itself now, the one with the most appointments wins. And fuck Joe Biden with his "we're all Americans" shit.
P.S. do note that the Minneapolis police chief may look like part of "the black community" but then you see his name: Medaria Arradondo. Very very suspicious, must actually be from one of the traitor tribes.
The chief of police is listed as the city's first African-American chief
He faced opposition from some African-American activists
This opposition was overcome by other African-American activists

I really really really wish you didn't and would leave me alone to do your own thing and not go on my old private threads which I try to keep out of public eye. I have gotten less than nothing but grief out of any time I spend talking to you. But when I try to stay away from you, you follow me around like a puppy dog attacking a mailman. I started this thread to give you your space away from my thread to talk about what you wanted to talk about with whoever you could find willing to talk with you. BUT NO WHAT DO YOU TALK ABOUT? ME! You lie, you care very much what I think and I think that is absolutely ridiculous and stupid of you. AND I AM REALLY STARTING TO LOSE PATIENCE. i I hate this.
! I am an pseudonymous person on this website. Why do you care so much what I think? I could be making it all up! so could you. GO AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IMPORTANT PEOPLE USING THEIR OWN NAMES THINK. For chrissake. I am sick of this silly game of arguing about what should be done about the world as if I make a frigging difference. I don't . If you continue to do this, act like a child, I really don't know if its worth it to continue to post here. Waste too much time dealing with your stupid shit when there are so many brilliant people to interact with elsewhere.
What you don't seem to understand is that I want to talk with people who like to analyze what is happening, you call the "triumvirate" we like to analyze. We loathe to say who we "support", that should be of little concern.
How many times can I say I am not interested in activism much less your kind which I see as counterproductive.. Leave me alone, please stay off my one private thread I have asked. QUIT MAKING IT PERSONAL, you are the one that continually makes it personal as if I live in your head. Stop talking about me as if you are trying to argue to mom that I am mean to you. Just cut it out. GROW UP stop talking like a 12 yr. old whining about your sibling.
You have repeated posted about me.

Oh no, the dangers of hubris are well know for so long they're a theme in Greek Mythology. I'm just trying to help. Think of how Biden will have a more modest and humble outlook if there's someone at his side to daily remind him he didn't vote for him and in fact, doesn't like him very much.

Jilani says politicians are not being held to account
He then points to an article criticizing politicians for decreasing funding to the Minneapolis PD
There is an article about Chicago which says cash strapped Mayor Lightfoot that she wants to direct funding to a high crime area
We also note that there is no basis for the charge that bail reform resulted in increased crime.
It seems people are looking for solutions
If Jilani has magical solutions, he should offer them up.

We know homicides are increasing
Stop and Frisk angered more people than it prevented crime
Police show up after the homicide, not before
It is unclear what triggered the increase in homicides and how to prevent them.
If homicides decrease after Biden takes office, we will wonder about the role of an autocrat in the increase.

Obama: Broad slogans like "defund the police" lose people
By Sara Fischer @ Axios.com, Dec. 1
Former President Barack Obama told Peter Hamby on the Snapchat original political show "Good Luck America" that "snappy" slogans such as "defund the police" can alienate people, making the statements less effective than intended.
What he's saying: "You lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done," Obama told Hamby in an interview that will air Wednesday morning at 6 a.m. EST on Snapchat.
"The key is deciding, do you want to actually get something done, or do you want to feel good among the people you already agree with?"
Obama also addressed why President Trump gained support among young Black men this election cycle, saying: "I think men generally are more susceptible to public figures who act tough, try to project a stereotypical macho style. I don't think Black men are immune to that any more than white or Hispanic men are."
The big picture: The former president is one of a few high-profile Democrats to say that using provocative slogans hurt Democrats in the election.
In an interview with Axios earlier this month, House Majority Whip James Clyburn blamed "sloganeering" for losses.
The Snapchat interview was a part of a larger press tour for the first volume of Obama's new memoir, "A Promised Land."
Obama also acknowledged that younger generations should be elevated more in politics [...]
First noticed the story because I saw that there wa repeat coverage of same story at The Hill, I presume because this has already been a topic of much discussion among their audience:
The helicopter that patrols my neighborhood every night of this week, albeit noisy and annoying, has been a welcomed deterrent to the rampant mass shootings that threaten innocent people.

Also Obama from Volume1 of his new book
Recalling the arduous 2008 path that ultimately led to his first term in the White House, Barack Obama writes in his new presidential memoir, A Promised Land,that his campaign was careful to avoid leaning into any issues that might be construed as "racial grievance." By this, of course, he means Black concerns about the lethal consequences of institutional white supremacist power.
"[T]oo much focus on civil rights, police misconduct or other issues considered specific to Black people risked triggering suspicion, if not a backlash from the broader electorate," Obama writes. "You might decide to speak up anyway as a matter of conscience, but you understood there'd be a price."
http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/obama-speaks-racism-33136
Found Yglesias discussing Obama's point with the NYTImes' Astead Herndon and Perry Bacon Jr. on Twitter:
Perry making the impt point: hand wringing abt the alleged ineffectiveness of slogans like defund the police come from electeds or pundits who only see change thru electoral politics. That is not the goal of many activists. They are not setting out to help Dems win elections https://t.co/gUy2AJp2XG

Most Democrats felt that the activists who pushed for the Massachusetts Supreme Court to rule in favor of marriage equality hurt them at the polls in 2004.
The activists could say in response that they *actually won marriage equality* which was their focus.
Ultimately, though, the endgame for the mariage equality litigation strategy was:
— Obama pretends to oppose marriage equality.
— Obama wins the election.
— Obama appointes judges who rule in favor of it.

Denial = a river in Egypt.
Actually, got me thinking how Obama sizes up situations. If you remember that he was raised by a white mother who was sensitive to racial issues, spent grade school years with an Indonesian stepfather with poorer less privileged Indonesian kids all around where he was an American, finished being raised by white grandparents in a multi-culti multi racial private high school in Honolulu. Later he sought out his father's family and learned about the results of tribal behavior in Kenya.

I am not Steinmetz-Jenkins. As they say on Twitter "retweet does not mean endorsement".
The more interesting issue and the one of import to reality is not what artappraiser and rmrd think about it but how the big world out there reacts to what Obama wrote and how it reacts to what he is saying publicly now. Even if what catches the zeitgeist.is not what he intended to say.

Snippet tweets are the new standard of scholarship
Snippet tweets are like your mother collecting newspaper clippings. Don't talk bad about your mother. No, this is not "scholarship" - it's a blog, thus the name.
also too there's that this thread is on policing, not about all of Obama's book, doh
Which reminds me for some reason (sarcasm intended) of the Yglesia/Herndon/Bacon discussion elsewhere on this thread about purists demanding the whole world change the way they think vs.making some actual basic changes to the way things are done.
really it's truly an aggravating waste of time--why do I have to even explain this after so many years? these news threads are to collate differing takes on a single story that one sees of interest in order to analyze what's going on. everyone is free to add to that. You would thing I'd get some thanks once in a while for sharing all that I see and others pitching in with what they find. BUT NOOOOO, it's "you must agree with this or that for posting that", always trying to figure out what my take is on it. And then fucking wanting to argue about bigger issues ad nauseum, the same old same old. I'm posting what influencers are saying. Don't care to be one myself!
(Those who want to be one are not posting on dagblog, or like to waste their time "winning" a game they play on this site. I can guarantee that on my deathbed I am not going to say "gee, I wish I spent more time pwning rmrd on dagblog")
I started off wanting to be an influencer, and found myself more under the influence. Social media is the opioid of the messes.
In all honesty I started off wanting to be a politician. I wanted to make changes for the better. Luckily I realized before I graduated from high school I didn't have the leadership qualities needed to influence people to follow me.

Interesting Obama comment. It could also apply to the homeless and especially the mentally ill homeless and their relationship with the police. That relationship also has a lot to do with our failure to meaningfully address the underlying problems and laying the responsibility on the police.
I think that's overthinking it. I've had white guys break into my house and into my van. If a cop saw me prying open a door or window, i hope he/she'd verify it was mine. That's a far cry from the obnoxiousness of a cop hassling a black guy cleaning up his yard, or one sitting calmly on a porch waiting for his mother, throwing the latter on the ground. If you make even asking questions verboten, police don't have any way to do their jobs politely and professionally.
The issue with the mentally ill is super complicated. People talk about sending out trained therapists of some sort with the police, but that's a whole new more complex ballgame.
Oh gosh what a surprise NOT, look what's trending nationwide now today in politics topics:
Obama warns activists against using the phrase 'defund the police,' sparking criticism
During an interview on Wednesday, former President Barack Obama referred to the phrase "defund the police" as a "snappy slogan," saying: "you lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done." The remarks sparked pushback from the progressive wing of the Democratic party, and sparked a discussion among activists about the true meaning of the slogan.
including full articles at outlets like Politico.
Who told you about it last night? arta did, because she follows "influencers" on Twitter and reposts what she finds that she thinks might be "hot" as to news. Does she ever get thanks for that? Nope she gets grief as if she was trying to push an agenda. Yeah, I have an agenda, an agenda against ignorance about what's going on. An agenda against agitprop cherry picking on dagblog as if one could become an influencer if one just argued with oceankat for enough years about what "the black community" thinks.
Here's my attitude: post articles or tweets, your choice, of a genuine influencer of "the black community" (whatever that is, depends) on the topic related at hand, and I'll genuinely be interested in knowing what that person thinks! On the other hand I have very little interest in what pseudonumous rmrd on dagblog thinks should be done about topic and whether rmrd considers the person friend or foe. I am interested in deconstructing what such an influencer thinks and is saying and why with other minds on dagblog like NCD, Orion pp or oceankat. I am not the least interested in how that affects any of those pseudonymous persons personal politics, that's their own business, why the fuck should I care? (Those that care: if you won an argument with one of those "people", how would you even know they're not lying under the pseudonym? What did you really win?) And least of all: I have zero interest in OGD childish meta of scatological cartoon and gif ratings on comments by as if dagblog posting was a team sport or video game or one was responding to a crazy Drumpf tweet; cough up some kind of content or be considered a peanut gallery to be ignored if not ridiculed.
Black Lives Matter official site, tweeted 3 hrs. ago, I think it is no coincidence that is the same time as the Obama Snapchat with Peter Hambly story trending:
We've been defunding education, housing, and everything else our communities need for years.
We meant what we said

— Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) December 2, 2020
They will have to stop using the phrase
There is pushback from the comments section
Well so far: nope, doesn't look very likely. Instead they reiterated strongly, added a tweet after that one. which points to their site defundpolice.org, which is quite elaborate:
https://t.co/NWkhzT8waa #DefundThePolice
While we talking about it.
by artappraiser on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 3:28am
They are still talking about shifting resources
Eventually, they will adopt the "politically correct" term.
They have defined what they mean
From Charles.Blow in the NYT
Wednesday morning on Peter Hamby's Snapchat show, "Good Luck America," Obama said this:
"If you believe, as I do, that we should be able to reform the criminal justice system so that it's not biased and treats everybody fairly, I guess you can use a snappy slogan like 'Defund the police,' but, you know, you lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you're actually going to get the changes you want done."
Of course, as a political matter, Obama is right in a way. He is looking at the path to legislative and public opinion success. To take that path, the power structure can't be so much confronted as coaxed. Those who do not recognize your full humanity must be convinced rather than condemned.
Blow's response
But none of that negates the legitimate cries of the activist that much more must be done, that Obama altered a racial image, for the better, but wasn't able to alter the system of oppression. That was always too much of an expectation. No one can correct 400 years in eight.
But in their approach, the activists are right. I have no problem with "Defund the police." I know that it means to reallocate funding so that social services and policing are properly weighted. If people are offended and "lost" because of that, they were actually lost before the phrase was uttered.
Politicians will use the "politically correct" term. Activists will slowly adapt. BLM defined the meaning of the term. Those who are happy with the way things are will use BLM as an excuse to do nothing. Instead of listening to politicians arguing for reform, defund the police will be used to keep the status quo. It is not like politicians have the ability to explain their actions.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/02/opinion/obama-politics-activism.html
Blow's opinion article reminds us of the role activists played in forcing change. It is useful to remember that voting for change usually results in a loss of political power. Even Obama's baby steps on health care lost seats in Congress.
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 9:16am
BLM activists have been largely ineffective since their founding 7 1/2a years ago. - it took 3 high profile black abuse incidents in May to raise the oullnational outrage, and it certainly helped that more people were locked in at home this year with more free time on their hands. BLM & Kap couldn't even get take-a-knee accepted for football games. George Floyd, Aubrey and Breonna woke up the issue.
by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 9:46am
If they are so ineffective, their defund the police statement shouldn't matter
Your statement that BLM is ineffective does not make BLM ineffective does not make them ineffective.
For example, in LA County, BLM campaigned against a Black DA
The Black DA refused to prosecute cases of police abuse
https://abc7.com/politics/da-jackie-lacey-facing-wavering-support-amid-re-election-bid/6259699/
The newly elected white DA sat down to meet with BLM after the election
https://abc7.com/blm-black-lives-matter-george-gascon-jackie-lacey/7819831/
Im sure this is a head exploding moment for you and your concept of identity politics
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 10:30am
They were ineffective 7 years, and then by having the best acronym it fell into their laps in May. People don't want anything to do with their Marxist pretentions nor defunding the police - they just needed a hashtag to complain and express shock & outrage over George Floyd and the others.
by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 10:37am
The election tells us that many people are willing to vote for a racist.
King became leader of the SCLC in 1957
We got the Civil Rights Bill in 1964
SCOTUS blew up the Voting Rights Act
Congress has done nothing to make changes, in fact voter suppression is the current mode
SCOTUS is now dominated by Conservatives
I am not surprised by the relatively slow pace.
In this analysis I am using your time line
I think BLM led to changes in DA elections and police reform.
Well I'm doing pretty damn good, cuz Moses, Marco Polo, Mozart, and Ming the Merciless.
by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 12:12pm
"The election tells us that many people are willing to vote for a racist."
Not only that more and more black people, after seeing the racist do racist things for four years, are willing to vote for a racist. When we consider Trump's gains with black people we have to thank god white people moved to Biden or he would have lost the election. What's the issue here? Self loathing black people?
by ocean-kat on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 12:20pm
Polls suggest 12-20% of Black men and 10% of Black women voted for Trump.
The overwhelming majority of Black voters did not vote for Trump.
Note: This data is based on exit polls that could be as bogus as pre-election polling results.
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 12:45pm
No one is suggesting that all black people are willing to vote for a racist. Only that 12 to 20% of black people are willing to vote for a racist. What I find interesting is that the more black people get to know Trump the more likely they are to be willing to vote for a racist. For white people the more they got to know Trump the less likely they were to vote for a racist.
White women seemed to like Trump more the second time around
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 1:06pm
So I guess white men are the most likely to learn and grow while white women and blacks tend to regress. Since white men are the mostly likely to learn shouldn't we focus on them as the way to make the most electoral gains? For all the efforts to reach out to blacks or white women we lost votes with those groups. They became more willing to vote for a racist not less.
by ocean-kat on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 1:33pm
Makes me wonder if you hate the word "outreach" as much as I do. I think of cadres of red guards coming to the doors of the poor unwashed telling them who they must vote for. There's such a condescending air to the whole concept.
by artappraiser on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 1:51pm
Well there are a large number of uneducated voters and personal contact reportedly seems to work with them. I have no idea why they vote the way they do or how to move them to vote for this or that candidate. All I have is some ideas of what is likely to piss them off. One would hope those in the business of swaying them have a better idea than I.
Obviously, Biden reached out to white men
After 2016, Democrats worried whether they could appeal to enough white working-class Trump voters to win in 2020 without alienating and disrespecting a key Democratic constituency: voters of color.
They just did. Biden won because he won back Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The percentage of white working class men voting Democratic increased from 23% in 2016 to 28% in 2020, while among white working class women, support for Democrats increased from 34%to 36%. These voters played a key role in delivering victories for Biden in the Rust Belt states where Clinton lost the presidency in 2016.
https://hbr.org/2020/11/how-biden-won-back-enough-of-the-white-working-class
"Obviously, Biden reached out to white men"
And much more successfully than his outreach to black men.Since that outreach resulted in gains with white men and losses with black men wouldn't it make sense to go with what works? Increased outreach to white men would result in greater electoral success than repeating the failed strategy of outreach to black men that simply resulted in greater numbers of black men being willing to vote for a racist.
I note that besides people like Jim Clyburn and Obama, this other rmrd also saw the problem
But then he went hunting for some cherries in order to change his mind.
You guys are basically re-arguing what others I cited on this thread already did, including the newly published scholarly study downthread.
I think Yglesias said it best upthread in conversation with Herndon and Bacon.upthread on Tue, 12/01/2020 - 11:34pm
In addition I would just throw in that Yglesias "Politics!" is also how we ended up with the first black president of the United States. For two terms yet.
Comes to mind how a certain person on this forum just couldn't wrap their heads around the idea that so many important swing voters voted for Obama twice and then for Trump. Just couldn't be. Didn't fit the myopic picture of how things are. Further rationalizing that they must all be racists and Democrats don't need them to win.
I don't bring this up to relitigate what has been argued many times before, rather I would like to use this as example of how if one reads cherry-picked news as to a myopic partisan perspective for years on end, one doesn't see reality anymore.
This is the main problem in this country right now, the main problem, the reason for the extreme divisiveness. There's been more than a few social science studies that show if you just sit a divided group down and show them info. from all angles and perspectives, they start to shift and agree more.It would be best if we didn't have people getting all their news from sites like The Root or Breitbart, but here we are. If you are going to use the advocacy method of info., you have to at least do it like they with a jury on a court, they don't allow you to hear only one side of the narrative.
It will not happen overnight
You post tweet snippets from influencers who have zero impact in the real world.
Jilia I has zero real world impact
I have no problem linking to the Root.
People who vote for Trump are willing to overlook his racism
Racism is not a deal breaker
Trump's incompetence is not a deal breaker
I note that activists push Democrats to craft policies
BLM has influenced election of Progressive DAs and discussions of police reform
When Democrats act, they lose votes
Civil Rights Act lost the South
Obamacare lost Democratic seats
Zaid has more he wants to say on topic this evening (and it does in a way get at the same thing addressed in by Obama in his interview and by Yglesias/Herndon/Bacon discussion):
The reality is the vast majority of America's liberal class can tell you with very close attention to detail specific cases of police abuse but can't name a single person who has died in record homicide waves happening across America, when both things obviously should matter.
— Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) December 2, 2020
This is what happens when human life is politicized and you only pay attention to deaths if they correspond to your political fashions and interests.
St. Louis and Baltimore were very interesting to liberal talkers when there were viral cases of police abuse. When both places saw massive surges in homicides following reduced policing, those deaths were uninteresting. What can make the lives of poor people more worth attention?
I tried to write this piece to call attention to it but I just don't think the left side of the aisle at all cares about poor people dying if they can't fit it into a neat political narrative that corresponds with their ideological identities https://t.co/wxbadNL38c
More Zaid this evening, still on theme of politicizing one kind of death over another that takes far greater numbers and the media, natch follows the emotions of the day; note the first tweet is basically ridiculing an Yglesias essay as "white fancy boy don't get it"
Current Affairs is based in New Orleans, Louisiana. If they want to learn about what constitutes crime and violence prevention, they could just send some reporters out the door, couldn't they? https://t.co/9AvEF3va0b
I'm not picking on them, a lot of national publications adhere to national trends and memes but aren't as interested in just walking around the location they're based in and figuring out what normies experience and believe
For instance, NOLA is seeing a spike in murder rate as the city has furloughed police. The clearance rate is going down. That would be an interesting topic to report on, or you could write a philosophy paper about crime? https://t.co/T1YraeuWeX
another journalist at The Intercept asks:
Why not just base all U.S. policy on traumatic videos? Definitely the thoughtful way to understand the millions upon millions of police interactions that are not abusive in any way, let's take the viral outliers and make sweeping claims. https://t.co/BuIfqb5VGb

From Harvard researcher Thomas Abt
ABT: If you look at urban violence compared to where we were 25 years, ago we've made tremendous progress. Violence has been reduced by about half. But if you look at violence compared to where we were 50 years ago, we're almost exactly in the same place. And the United States is still an extreme outlier among high-income nations, with a gun violence rate that is several times higher than any other wealthy nation. I believe we can and should do better.
GAZETTE: Part of the solution you advocate involves building trust between police and low-income communities. But that seems a long-term project. What can be done in the short term?
ABT: There are no easy answers when it comes to building trust between law enforcement and poor communities of color. But that doesn't mean we have to sit on our hands. We have evidence that principles of procedural justice — trust, respect, fairness, openness — can slowly change attitudes and even behaviors over time. In addition, we have to do the hard work of addressing the abuses and overreach in the system itself. There are still too many instances of racial profiling and excessive force. We still over-rely on arrests and incarceration. Building trust requires making progress on all of these fronts. With regard to urban violence, however, the important takeaway is that you can build trust and reduce violence at the same time. Cops and communities all around the country are working together to address high rates of violence despite all the reasons to reject one another.
GAZETTE: You talk a lot about the connection between peace and justice. What is that relationship?
ABT: Protesters commonly chant, "No justice, no peace" and there's an increasing amount of empirical support evidence to back up that idea. What we're learning is that when trust in law enforcement declines, community violence goes up. It rises because when people don't trust the system, they don't use it. In particular they don't use it to solve conflict. Instead, they take the law into their hands, and often violently so, creating the cycles of violent retribution we see in so many cities.
The first move is on police departments and politicians. Police walk away when one of their own is charged with police abuse.
If the community's killing 300+ of its own a year, why is "the first move" on police and politicians? It's a democracy - first move is for citizens to try to clean up their own shit and use government, including police, to assist. But police aren't for the most part out there to help people kill more - they're answering calls after or as people are going homicidal - picking up the perps. Sure, I'd be reluctant to police with 100x the expectations and post hoc blame-making than the hoods and drunken hopped-up guns-loaded idiots and clinically insane on the street making the mayhem happen. When we talk about military in Iraq, we appreciate the dangers - the militias, the IEDs, the Sunnia-Shia internecine warfare. When we talk about police in US cities, half the time the criminals are absent from the description - it's just police being mean to the community, little thought how scared granny and the pre-schoolers are, how the city can be a jungle.
I remember TPM's Dijamo describing her torturous and frightened walk to and from school each day as a kid, dealing with the druggies and local hoods. In the BLM part fairy tale, the community's rough but blameless, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Rayshard happened because police are driving around looking for a fight - *they're* the total problem. Would servicemen go for duty if they were called to a board of inquiry with the presumption of dereliction of duty for every shooting they were near, even as local militia killings heat up? What balance of perspective of what should be, mapping out the dangers and complexities on all sides?
What should her family have done to improve the situation?
Warn siblings, keep everyone off door, away from gangs, away from arrest situations, keep head low, study hard, vote for people with solutions... Maybe the community can do a better job promoting STEM and medical and business success, rather than biased towards ego-driven music and sports and political heroes, in my white-boy way of thinking. I mean, i like Kid Rock and Eminem's music both, but I wouldn't my kids thinking either was their major outlet tor only path to a career or philosophical thinking, even if they joined that industry. I mean, where the fuck's the black Andrew Yang, to be blunt? Where are the blacks who build things - construction sure, but on top of that career ladder, the designer, not the day laborer. Who's the black Ted Turner or Michael Bloomberg (ok, Oprah's a bit similar, but she sells herself, not 24x7 cable news or business news with high margins - a marketable new service). Where's the black Uber or AirBnb? The Green Book was brilliant 60-80 years ago - what's the equivalent level of community-focused innovation in the internet age?

I provided a link to an article by Thomas Abt about the need for trust between the black community and the police.
Police are needed, but they are not trusted
When the black community asked for crime to be addressed under Bill Clinton, they got mass incarceration.
Police reform is the rate limiting step in any change.
Hopefully, the Biden administration will bring back DOJ efforts to address police abuse that were removed under Jeff Sessions.
by rmrd0000 on Thu, 12/03/2020 - 11:16am
Bill Clinton worked with black leaders to find a suitable approach. Share the blame - it was a shitty peak-crime situation, and no one had great solutions. Blaming the president for a group decision is idiocy and shamefulness of the highest magnitude.
Police were always dicks - everyone knows that. A bit less dick ish is the real-world goal.
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 12/03/2020 - 12:19pm
Obviously the Black community made the plea
Congressman Bobby Rush
In an emotional interview on MSNBC, Wednesday, April 13, Congressman Bobby Rush, who has endorsed Hillary Clinton, apologizes to his community for his vote in favor of the 1994 crime bill.
"I am ashamed of my vote. I sincerely apologize to my God; I apologize to my family, to my community. That was my worst vote, as I look back over the years, that I have taken since I've been in Congress," said Rush.

If you respond to a post you should be in the "business" of defending your views in rational debate. But as I've said before you don't. You use people's posts as a hook to attach your links in ways that don't address their post or to debate a strawman you created instead of the ideas they actually posted. This is just one more example of that.

Your answer to what a family should do to protect themselves.............duck
Warn siblings, keep everyone off door, away from gangs, away from arrest situations, keep head low
Wow, no one would have EVER thought of that genius move.
Just like violent video games, rap caused that crime.
So how's the community gonna reform itself?
The criminals need reform. The "citizens" are fine. The citizens need to trust the police. Police need to be held to account. When the police say, if you hold us to account, we will stop doing our jobs, the social contract is broken. The first move is on the police. The citizens are ducking.
Criminals are citizens too. How do you "reform" them? People been talking about that for ages.
But still, are we gonna wait til crime is cured before we figure out how black families put together more than 7% the wealth of white families, or whatever the abysmal figure is? That'll be a long long time.
But sure, wait for the police to make their move - that'll fix things for blacks in a jiffy.
If criminal are going to criminal, you remove them from the neighborhood
Community trust of the police is essential to report suspicious activity
Do you think a neighbor of the late Breonna Taylor is going to call the police if they see something suspicious?
The police need to improve their image.
You move to poverty, which would be a totally different post
Oh yeah, just remove all the criminals.
(but don't do mass incarceration)
Wonder why they didn't think of that earlier...
What I really don't get, big picture: if activists can't sell very friendly liberals on Dagblog of their arguments, or friendly liberal influencers with huge audiences on Twitter, why do they think they'll get anywhere with the rest of this country and its lawmakers? It seems to me as if the only audience that likes the whole official BLM line is the activists themselves combined with a a large segment of well-off white educated millennials and younger. And the rest of us just get aggravated. WAY TO GO: nowhere.Preaching to the choir gets you: a choir. Pissing off fellow dagbloggers: less than a choir; I certainly wouldn't hire such a person as an activist if I was trying to accomplish something. Just the opposite, would hire that person to quash a movement.

Autopsy results confirm Andres Guardado was shot in the back
The Los Angeles County medical examiner confirmed that 18-year-old Andres Guardado, who was shot and killed by Southern California sheriff's deputies, was shot five times in the back, as his family had previously said. Homicide investigators claimed the teenager was shot in the upper torso, however they did not specify where on the torso Guardado was hit. The report listed Guardado's death as a homicide. The release of the autopsy results caused a backlash among officials.

So all (suspected) criminals in LA are shot in the back? Or this particular case represents roughly what percentage of police shootings, and what percent are never apprehended?

Still, this ain't a pond. And a fake duck that still leaves its shit around - well, we can do better.

P.S. I find this is healthy to rewatch, it's good reminder of a sane person on racial issues who got elected by a majority of citizens, and has actuall power to represent her whole community, they're out there. This is what I meant about his posting being insidious: if you spend too much time taking him seriously, you start to get fucked up about reality an believe he represents somebody other than himself, since he talks like he does.
What's she doing for these runoffs? Sitting it out? Active campaigning? Wonder how she's phrasing things in the midst of more crazy.

Where was the argument that STEM was not important?
FWIW meanwhile, Yglesias is getting bombarded on Twitter by supporters of "defund" or "abolish" especially as regards "activism":
I feel like I have said this many time's today but my view is that the problem with "defund the police" is that it's a bad idea not that it's a bad slogan. Or rather what's bad about the slogan is that the idea it expresses is bad. https://t.co/QenBcvizk8
I like that on Twitter "police should not be abolished" counts as a trollish take. I think I have a very boring and widely held view on this. https://t.co/ByV6oyy0W7
I see way too many people use "hey look it's activism" as a kind of all-purpose rebuttal to criticisms of people for advancing confused or erroneous ideas, and I sincerely do not believe that this is how effective movements for beneficial change work.
These were little slogans that fit on signs not detailed policy papers, but they all make perfect sense. pic.twitter.com/EE1qNSbceB

Noah Smith of Bloomberg:
Police are not going away. But defunding police -- by switching some policing functions to unarmed responders -- is a good idea. And having police do foot patrols and sit in police boxes instead of answering 911 calls is another good idea.https://t.co/uOXmZDWkWR

Response to PP above about removing criminals.
The trouble makers are a relatively small group.
The shooters are a very small minority
Mass incarceration is something very different
Note: It appears AA thinks that I want to convince her of something
I will again point out that I really don't care what PP or AA think
We get tweet snippets here on dagblog
Out in the real world, people are attempting to solve issues
Balancing need for police versus holding police to account is not easy
Mistakes will be made, like we hear from Bobby Rush
Sitting on the sidelines while influencers send criticism from tweet snippets is easy.
If convincing people is the goal, how is it that BLM is a known entity while Thomas Chatterton Williams, Coleman Hughes, Glenn Loury, and John McWhorter have a very small audience?
Loury, McWhorter, et al repeatedly admit that their message doesn't travel well among their students.
"Defund the police" does not have a messaging problem. It has a utopian pseudo-solution that will definitely make things worse problem.

We began this project shortly after #MichaelBrown was killed in #Ferguson. Data we collected then showed great divergence in Black & white Americans' reactions to Brown's death. This divergence was most pronounced among those who reported having heard the most about the incident. pic.twitter.com/lmHYgrS47t
We set out to unpack the mechanisms that explain this racial divide using a novel scenario in which we present respondents with a fictitious officer-involved shooting and examine their reactions to information about the incident. (Example of one witness statement in screenshot) pic.twitter.com/bfrFYfxKpg
We suspected going in that the racial divide results from biased information processing, and set out to examine two mechanisms we believe could underlie this process. Specifically, we examine what we term "race-based motivated reasoning" & updating from racially distinct priors. pic.twitter.com/g8bKsZFYkm
Here's a snapshot of what we find. We find limited evidence that Blacks & whites diverge b/c they are acting in defense of their racial identities. Priming respondents' racial identities does not exacerbate divide, though strength of identification does moderate some reactions. pic.twitter.com/GHiPnGu3fq
In line with a motivated reasoning framework, Black and white respondents report wanting to read different additional information, when given the opportunity to do so (i.e. selective exposure). Contra MR, we find respondents incorporate new information in their summary judgments.
But recall, we are skeptical of claims that all divides between groups result from MR & test whether this divide stems from racial diffs in beliefs & expectations abt criminal justice system & likely culpability of Black victims. Indeed, we find substantial evidence of this. pic.twitter.com/ZiGaHjiwY6
As we conclude in the paper, we think this work has significant implications for the meting out of justice in diverse societies and highlights the multiple ways that identities can affect how individuals perceive and make sense of the world around them. pic.twitter.com/P7Xoek4NrX

Online far-right movements are splintering in the wake of last week's Capitol riot, as some radical anti-government movements show signs of disillusionment with the relatively hands-off approach of some QAnon conspiracy theorists amid warnings of future violence.

The Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians expressed its disappointment with the lack of discussion on First Nation issues during last week's Ontario election leaders' debate.
While candidates were given the opportunity to speak to a number of issues in the "Question and Answer" style debate, no question related to First Nations issues was posed to the candidates. The candidates themselves also failed to bring up any items related to First Nations. As a result, our issues of lands and resources, missing and murdered Indigenous women, the Ipperwash Inquiry and policing were all but lost in the discussion.
Although First Nation issues are mentioned in the platforms of two of the three parties, open discussion is needed to truly move our issues forward. The Association will continue to promote this dialogue through the media, political leaders and public education.
First Nations continue to be the land owners and hold treaties with the Crown. As such, Ontario is required to approach us for our free, prior and informed consent to access these lands and resources.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship of perfectionist personality traits to anxiety traits and academic procrastination. Also to examine the possibility of predicting trait anxiety and academic procrastination by measuring perfectionist personality traits. Methods/statistical analysis: the study followed the survey methodology. The sample consisted of 521 Saudi students studying in United States universities during the 2017-2018 academic year. Students participants were invited to complete an electronic survey that incorporated the: 1) Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale; 2) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - Form Y; and 3) Tuckman Procrastination Scale. Regression analysis was utilized for study findings. Findings: the results of the study showed a significant positive linear relationship among trait anxiety with the three perfectionism dimensions: socially-prescribed perfectionism, self-oriented perfectionism, and other-oriented perfectionism. The findings also revealed a significant positive correlation between self-oriented perfectionism and academic procrastination. Novelty/applications: this study is the first of its kind to investigate the perfectionist trait and its relationship to academic procrastination and anxiety among Saudi students studying in the US.

Artist-in-Residence: Daniela Antonelli
Fine Art - Posted on 22nd September 2013
As part of her three-week residency at West Dean College, Brazilian artist Daniela Antonelli gave an evening presentation about her work to an audience of MA students and Summer School attendees. Following a discussion about the development of her practice, how it related to the current experiments taking place during the residency, as well as a short film about John Baldessari, Daniela showed the audience around her work space in the adjacent studio.
Having initially trained as a designer, Daniela explained that she had made a decision to address any perceived lack of formal training by going about the task of self-education as an artist through a methodical, systematic process of setting and testing limits. This process has continued to feed the work she makes and the ideas she explores. Such methods echoed the type of constraints used by artists and writers throughout the modern period - for example, members of Oulipo [Ouvroir de littérature potentielle or 'workshop for potential literature'] - using a set of limitations that allow the practitioner to discover specific formal possibilities or, through their exhaustion, seeing where imposed rules break down and the unanticipated breaks through.Daniela stressed her fundamental interest in drawing and indicated that this was a core part of her approach in finding, as she put it, 'what is essential'. The use of systems aided her in breaking things down into component parts, as well as identifying a 'tool box' of material with which to work. The seemingly endless possibilities of limiting one's palette, as it were, led Daniela to set out a series of principles upon which to expand her own language of making: diagrams and plans, using ink on paper, crucially not moving into three dimensions; basic compositional elements such as dot, line and plane (echoing Kandinksy and Klee); the use of primary colours only, as well as white and black; the selective use of visual 'tools' such as the grid, etc. These key areas combined and re-emerged throughout her practice in a number of ways.
As the presentation continued, it became clearer that the emphasis on drawing in Daniela's practice is inherently linked with a concern for the more or less deliberate marking of surfaces and/or objects in a way that then associates them with what might be described as the appearance of the cultural - what she described as 'traces of civilisation' - whereby ostensibly natural objects are transformed, by the trace of a human hand, into worked artefacts of some kind or other (something that is then able to 'tell' of its role and place within human relations), however mediated it might be. This interest led Daniela to explore the aesthetic of ritualised objects and the specific markings on various sacred artefacts, amulets, icons and so on. How processes of arrangement and manipulation transform natural materials into meaningful compositions of signification and juxtaposition runs through Daniela's practice.As well as a two-dimensional pieces emerging from this study, Daniela had also developed sculptural works, often in interactive and wearable forms. By incorporating found objects, combining them with an overwriting activity or placing them in relation to other items, the work begins to establish a complex grammar of placement, setting up constructed assemblages that speak of traditions and associations within material objects that are always just out of reach. The assemblages have a conscious investment in questioning balance, both of the collated objects and the potential significance they speak to, and it was particularly interesting here to consider Daniela's use of the term 'micro-climates' when discussing the construction of specific contexts in which these pieces could exist - for example, isolating them in vitrines, employing museum standard plinths and supports, etc.Before taking the audience over to her working area, Daniela touched on the current preoccupation with images of continuum, self-renewal and annihilation (ourobouros), relating it back to a previous project in which an enormous scroll drawing unfolded according to an intuitive narrative structure that seemed to self-generate and repeat. As with many of her other works, the piece involved a huge investment of time and labour, and served to encourage the viewer to linger for a long time, encouraging them to look again and go back to the beginning.
During my three-week residency at West Dean College I created a body of work totally influenced by the atmosphere that surrounded me. My work is deeply connected to this practice and it first emerged from abstract drawings before moving towards object-making using found materials. My proposition was to continue developing this research using raw material collected around the College grounds. West Dean is a wonderful place to gather different kinds of natural elements such as feathers, small pieces of discarded wood, and so on. Bringing these items back to the studio I was able to find the peace and structure necessary to dive in the work.As the weeks progressed I became more and more involved in the process of making and collecting, finding inspiration in the landscape and within. West Dean is a place that provides external silence and internal quietness. The exchanges with some of the MA students and academic staff made it possible to establish a dialogue and have a more intense exchange. Also, due to the possibility of using the different workshops I was able to explore a wider range of technical possibilities.The experience at this residency was an opportunity of a lifetime. I was able to really concentrate on my practice, count on the support of a skilled team of professionals, converse with artists from different fields and, most importantly, look at the work from a different perspective. No pressure, no rush. Just thinking, conceiving and making.Daniela Antonelli

Shot Molding, a technology created in 1940s has actually changed item layout as well as automation due to the flexibility it uses. Just what is Shot Molding? It is a procedure that requires the molten materials right into a Mold and mildew or a Die. The product takes the physical residential properties of the mold's cavity or hollow, after cooling down. Every plastic product you see today experiences this process As an example, car control panels, sodas caps etc. all experience injection molding procedure. The materials could differ such as plastic to steel; anything that is flexible. The process that makes use of plastic as a product is recognized as Plastic Shot Molding. Plastic Injection Molding- The process. Raw materials: One of the most extensively made use of resources for plastic molding are: Thermosetting Plastic, Elastomers as well as Thermoplastic Polymers. These products are utilized due to the fact that they supply better thickness. Tools: The basic parts of plastic molding makers are material receptacle, home heating system, bettor etc. The function of Presses (an equipment part) is to pressurize the molten product into the hollows or mold and mildew's tooth cavity to offer the material correct form. They operate in conformity of Tonnage (It is capacity of the equipment to use clamping force, in order to keep the molds in shut placement) Ratings. The tonnage might vary from 5 heaps to 6000 tones depending upon the rigidity of the material. The Process: Step 1: Melting:- Injection Molding Equipment has a wide and cylindrical melting system, which transforms the product (polymers) into a liquid state under severe temperature level and stress. An auger with an opening near the bottom, gets the polymer or material. With the usage of a hydraulic motor, auger opens into the melting device. The liquids are limited from getting in right into the molds with a shutoff system. Action 2: Putting melted material into mold and mildew dental caries or hollows:- After the heating procedure mores than, the liquid product is put right into Plastic Shot Mold and mildew by the auger, to give the product a wanted shape. The molds are pressurized to keep them whole as well as in correct position. To earn sure no air area is left, the material is put twice or three times. Action 3: Cooling:- After the molding, the entire mold and mildew is introduced to cooling for dense solidification of the plastic stabs, which exhausts the majority of time of the total production procedure. The cooling is completed by passing air or water over the crazy mold and mildews or generating cold water via small holes on the mold surface area. Step 4: De-Molding: Once the cooling procedure is completed, the thick plastic injections are planned for elimination from the mold and mildews. The clamp on the mold and mildew is unlocked to unlock the mold and mildew and also obtain the shot. The whole process is done as well as the mold and mildew is currently planned for the next device development.

Applicants sometimes think that they have little influence over the recommendation letter process. But this doesn't have to be the case.
By carefully selecting the best recommenders and giving them suitable guidance, you can positively influence the quality and impact of your recommendation letter.
Here are some great tips inspired by a longer article by Pat H. (Associate Director of Admissions at Tuck).
Who should write your recommendation? Ideally, your immediate supervisor. Someone who has worked with you closely and can really speak to your experience, strengths, and weaknesses.
What if I can't ask my boss for a recommendation? Good alternatives include a client, previous manager, or contact from extracurricular organizations you're involved with. Be sure to explain the situation in an optional essay!
Should I ask friends, family, or an old professor? Definitely not recommended. You need people who can provide specific, detailed insight primarily into your work performance and leadership potential. If you work in a family business, ask a client, customer, or non-family member to write your recommendation … rightly or wrongly, school's generally won't value a family member's recommendation.
Pre-qualify your recommenders! Don't automatically assume you'll get a positive reference! Be sure by asking two key questions: 1) are you willing to write a positive recommendation for me? and 2) do you have the time to write a detailed recommendation? If the answer to either of these questions is "no," find someone else. Period.
Prepare your recommender. Give them plenty of time before the deadline, take them out for coffee to discuss your career goals and motivations for pursuing an MBA, remind them of your recent performance reviews, and talk about your significant accomplishments. The key here is to ensure they include detailed examples in support of your candidacy.
Thank your recommender! Writing recommendation letters takes a *lot* of work. Be supportive and show your appreciation.
