@smerconish @smerconish you are talking about contagious fire. It’s been verified as a real phenomena. Notably, it should be something that law enforcement is aware of and attempts to guard against. Also- no police department says it’s ok to discharge if another officer does it first.

The death of nurse Alex Pretti is harder to justify than this month's killing of Renee Good. Where Good was fleeing the scene in an SUV, possibly hitting an ICE officer, Pretti was pinned to the ground and disarmed. Will anyone hold them accountable? Michael evaluates. WATCH MORE: bit.ly/45zbW3z

@Antoine_Lovell It’s the squirrels that you’ve gotta watch…. They are up to something, always

Closed out Day 1 of the National Conference on Gun Violence by reminding the audience that gun violence intersects with poverty, homelessness, and oppression. SYSTEMS CREATE SYMPTOMS—so we must reimagine them to serve the most vulnerable. #SystemsChange

Homelessness in America is reaching historic levels, yet solutions remain stalled. This isn't just a policy failure—it's a moral one. We must prioritize housing as a human right. #EndHomelessness #HousingFirst 🌟

The ENTIRE @NABJ Trump Interview (34 Minutes)

@w_katz1 struggling to see the critique.This podcast/article focuses on BWC access and control.They highlight that almost everywhere in the country BWC is controlled by the police department. The police holding full control of BWC fails the promise of transparency and accountability. No?

FFS, the NY Times is insistent in trying not to understand body worn cameras. I’ve worked on BWC policies since 2011, was in police oversight before & after their introduction, was responsible for Chicago’s deployment in 2017, and now work with startups using BWC in new ways. +

@DrReneeMitchell @EBpolicing @NIJDirLaVigne @TheIACP Wow, this is really heartwarming - great job @DrReneeMitchell &@mo_mcgough

Long thread on my evidence based policing journey and the people who have helped to create this amazing community of evidence based policing scholars. @EBpolicing @NIJDirLaVigne. My first @TheIACP conference was 2012 in San Diego. I didn’t know a soul other than a couple of SPD

@JCSchwartzProf ….

All charges against officer Mark Dial were dismissed in the death of Eddie Irizarry. A judge ruled there wasn't enough evidence to stand trial. trib.al/pEQiGYN

When dad is still your hero…

@PhillyInquirer @NotesFromHeL Yes, spot on @NotesFromHeL

"Now is precisely when we should be talking about the consequences of a community losing faith in the institutions charged to protect them," writes @NotesFromHeL, "from residents hesitant to call police...to not expecting much even when police do show up." trib.al/NcvXHEb

Congrats to @Antoine_Lovell, GSS '22, who was recently awarded a grant of up to $225,000 from @TrinityWallSt to investigate risk factors among homeless emerging/young adults by using historical data from NYC public school students and ACS. Read more: bit.ly/3r12tAi

There’s so much that we’ve learned in using spatial and GIS to predict and prevent crime — but we need to ensure we routinely identify and eliminate bias at every turn of development. #NIJ2023

“The way people are living today - I’m talking about resources or more accurately lack thereof - is by design. We have to mindful that a lot of what we’re doing in spatial analysis has disparate and harmful consequences.” -Dr. Tracie Keesee @PolicingEquity #NIJ2023

@joshyoung805 @mo_mcgough @Jerry_Ratcliffe Ha! I’m working hard. What happens in Vegas is recorded on mutiple devices from multiple angles.

Because apparently @Jerry_Ratcliffe doesn’t adhere to the ancient and sacred creed of “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” - for your viewing pleasure:

Let's be clear: State control of SLMPD was a hot mess in the 1800s. It was a hot mess when the #moleg-approved police board would call in favors for friends and family. State control is a hot mess TODAY in Kansas City, which experienced its most violent years on record. #SOTCSTL

@saintlouismayor administration brought a holistic approach to public safety challenges, relying on more than police to meet the needs of the people. STL police should REMAIN in local hands. CPE's own @hmenos on what true public safety looks like in STL👉 missouriindependent.com/2023/04/24/pub…

We are thrilled w/the grassroots public safety redesign work happening in St. Louis! 💯 💯 💯 "It gives us an opportunity to make the table bigger, to bring more people into this issue and to do things a different way...” 👈 THAT'S RIGHT! #MondayMotivation ksdk.com/article/news/c…

My mood walking into the capital today as we get ready to discuss local control of St. Louis City police. #MoLeg
