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.

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.
