Inside the Black Market for Temporary License Plates | 1: The Dealers — Streetsblog Projects

This is an excellent article describing the many issues surrounding the illegal and illegitimate use of temporary tags (vehicle registrations).

This also makes a person wonder why Cities like Philadelphia and San Francisco want to limit police investigations of vehicle registration including temporary tags.

Streetsblog found licensed used car dealers exploiting loose regulations to
sell real temp tags illegally.

The April 2020 Nova Scotia Mass Shooting-Final Report | Mass Casualty Commission

On March 30, 2023, the Mass Casualty Commission released its Final Report – Turning the Tide Together – in Truro, Nova Scotia and delivered to the Governors in Council of Nova Scotia and of Canada. The work of the Commission has now concluded.

in April 2020, in the first weeks of the COviD-19 pandemic, the most lethal mass shooting in Canadian civilian history unfolded over 13 terrible hours in Nova Scotia. A perpetrator shot and killed 22 people, one of whom was expecting a child. Many more people were harmed and affected, across Canada, the United States, and

beyond.

On behalf of all Canadians, the governments of Canada and Nova Scotia estab- lished the Mass Casualty Commission in October 2020 to determine what happened, how and why it happened, and to set out lessons learned as well as recommendations that could help prevent and respond to similar incidents in the future. After two and a half years of independent and thorough investigation, this Report comprehensively fulfills the Commission’s mandate.

N.J. Attorney General announces takeover of troubled Paterson Police Department – nj.com

This is an interesting method how a Police Chief is relieved from operating a police department. It is an interesting position that the state’s Attorney General can take over the operation of a municipal police department.

What about Home Rule? What about the decision of Mayor of the City of Patterson? How long can the AG control Patterson? What reasons are needed for the AG to take over a police department? This is the first time I have heard of this situation.

Expert looks at how and why police resist reforms to militarization – Harvard Gazette

I can’t wait for Katzenstein’s article to come out. I think she let her biases interfere with her research. Just be reading some of the outlandish comments from this interview I can’t see how Katzenstein came to her conclusions.

In fact every person that I know that has had a “behind the scenes” look at policing has ALWAYS come away with a more favorable opinion of how police do their jobs. I have had local anti-police activists take out citizens police academy program and they have left with a more favorable opinion of police after completion of the program.

Katzenstein claims that police is anti-black. I look forward to see where in her article she supports this claim with evidence. I have NEVER seen, been trained, or learned or any police trainings that are anti-black. Or anti any specific group. Katzenstein seems to have written her article way before she stepped foot in the field. This is sad.

If I get a copy of Katzenstein’s article I will review it. I think it will need an honest assessment. I am sure the liberal news media will promote it like wildfire.

Jessica Katzenstein, an Inequality in America fellow, has been analyzing police militarization in an effort to show how and why departments are resisting changes and the ways this resistance is not as straightforward as it’s often portrayed.

Exclusive Breonna Taylor Raid Details, w/ Sgt. John Mattingly – YouTube

This is a fascinating interview. If you haven’t heard Sgt. John Mattingly tell what happened that night you will not believe what you are about to hear. Mattlingly is easy to listen to and very believable. You will have to question the why the Louisville Government and Police Department hid the truth from the public. Mattingly is doing a great service to policing.

This is another example of how the progressive left has lied to attack policing. The left had used the Breonna Taylor incident to as a faux reason to demand change in policing.

Take the time to listen to the interview and buy John’s book.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Sgt. John Mattingly, author of “12 Seconds in the Dark,” to discuss the truth about what happened with the Breonna Taylor raid, the misinformation spread by the media and by celebrities about the shooting, the offensive GMA interview with Mattingly, his appreciation for AG Daniel Cameron, the reality of race in policing, the truth about Kenneth Walker, and more.

Chicago Police Training Teaches Officers That Their Lives Matter more Than Community Lives

Don’t let the title fool you. Generally police are trained that they must survive and go home. It’s not that the community is less important than the police.

This Report from community representatives of Chicago’s Use of Force Community Working Group offers our feedback on the Chicago Police Department’s (CPD) training on de-escalation and the use of force. The Working Group was first convened in the summer of 2020 in response to the requirements of the federal civil rights Consent Decree designed to bring an end to the CPD’s pattern of police brutality and racial discrimination. Over the course of two years, the Working Group persuaded the CPD to make transformative changes to its policies governing police use of force.1 Last fall, we issued a Public Report on CPD’s new policies, including areas still in need of change.2 The new policies, if implemented and enforced on the ground, have the potential to dramatically reduce unnecessary CPD violence and improve public safety.
