Officer-Involved Shootings: What your local police department likely understands and DHS needs to

Experience matters in how we investigate officer-involved shootings, but so do structure, transparency, and discipline. When those are missing, legitimacy suffers. Some thoughts here.

When crises happen, credibility is built through discipline and restraint, not speed. Chasing the narrative too early can undermine legitimacy. I unpack that tension here.

Just an update: I too have decided to decline any bowl offers and instead focus on next season.

Trump administration shuts down national database documenting police misconduct Database, first proposed by Trump in 2020 and created by Biden administration in 2023, is now offline

Unsurprising but extremely disappointing.

Open government is good government.

Interesting stuff. 68 cases as of today:

Everything I read about his objection was about the dignity being afforded the Columbians…or rather the lack of dignity with which they were treated.

A week after announcing Stargate, which wasn’t actually new and yet effectively tied the new administration to the success of American AI… 📉

Clemency for Oath Keepers, Proud Boys fuels extremism threat, experts say “The return of battle-hardened leaders ... will further radicalize and fuel recruitment platforms,” said Jacob Ware, a Council on Foreign Relations research fellow.

Bruce is a leading expert on terrorism.

Recent pardons have flown in the face of the good and often dangerous work protecting this nation done by the outstanding women and men in law enforcement.

Likewise! Twitter has become a cesspool.

Rest in peace, President Carter. Thank you for your compassionate example of humanity.

You know, it could be a bowling alley. A guy in Terre Haute won a bowling alley!

I like to cook and I also HATE trying to scroll through all the junk looking for recipes online. If you type “cooked.wiki/“ right in front of the recipe site’s URL, it pulls out the recipe and instructions and makes getting right to the recipe so much easier! I found this on “The Redits” :)

This is the fastest, most sweeping, most startling shift of critical mass I have ever seen in media or tech world: This month's refugee flow, poisoned Xitter—>Bsky.

Aw thank you Missy ♥️. To you and yours as well!

I stood on the street in the rain for 4+ hours to shoot pictures of them. She saw them and said “Oh good, you got me before I started crying. It was sooo cooold!” 🥹😄 Very proud of all the girls. 😊

Hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I’m just back from NYC where my daughter marched and performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. What a fantastic trip!

Is this Dallas Cowboys v. Commanders game being played in the Bermuda Triangle or the Twilight Zone? 😂

A Thanksgiving week adventure! #MacysParade #Thanksgiving

Take your time, Scott 👍🏻

I knew what you meant. 👍🏻😉

Radley brings up an unfortunate byproduct of politics & bureaucracy. Fixing the problem of bad convictions results in payouts & accountability. If we’re truly going to use data & analysis, it behooves us to shine light & transparency on the entire process, learning all the ways we need to improve.
