New Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent training to go from 18 weeks to 8 weeks, and dropping the degree requirement? If the plan is to make the FBI a laughing stock, this is the way to do it. nytimes.com/2025/08/21/us/…

Adam Gelb (@abgelb) Council on Criminal Justice (@CouncilonCJ) President and CEO shares his thoughts following potential federal agency deployments in other major U.S. cities to decrease crime trends. “There are three aspects to deterrence — certainty, swiftness, and the severity of punishment. ...We have this obsession in our country unfortunately with the severity of punishment. Whenever we think [that] we’re going to reduce crime, we try to make punishments stiffer.”

‼️ANNOUNCEMENT ‼️ my #stlblues bar for the year will be Felix’s Pizza in Dogtown. They have great service, food, and drinks. I spoke with the GM and they will have game audio and a great atmosphere for the games. Felix’s is in a great spot and did I mention the wings and pizza? 10/10.

Thanks @USATODAY for featuring my voice in this deep dive on crime in DC and the US, and what to consider when looking at these trends. @CouncilonCJ @gsucjc @aysps usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

OUT TODAY: CCJ’s mid-year crime report finds that homicide and most other violent crimes continued to decline in the first half of this year, falling below pre-pandemic levels in 42 U.S. cities. Learn more from co-authors @Ernesto_LopezJr & @BoxermanBobby: counciloncj.org/crime-trends-i…

The Captain who ended the drought Alex Pietrangelo will be a #stlblues legend forever

A classic look for a new era. #stlblues

I'm staunchly anti Florida but dang, it's tough to watch the @Canes melt down like this!

Crazy to watch @MapleLeafs fans booing their own team and throwing sweaters and hats on the ice. Bandwagon, toxic fanbase.

Shout out to the @stlouispolice for their response to the storms and tornado today.

Sure is hard to watch the @StLouisBlues revert to a failed dump and chase strategy as soon as the pressure comes on.

sometimes emotions get the best of us
