Modernize the Criminal Justice System: An Agenda for the New Congress | Manhattan Institute

Crime, particularly violent crime, is a pressing concern for the American people. The surge in homicide and associated violence in the past three years has made voters skittish and prompted aggressive partisan finger-pointing. This increase has not, however, prompted significant investment in our criminal justice system. Ironically, as this report argues, this increase in violent […]

Philly Police Want You to Help Them Arrest Homicide Suspects

“Nationally, only 4 percent of police funding goes toward solving homicides,” THIS this is a very complicated statement?! Most PDs across the nation investigate ZERO homicides. So their funding would be zero. Most PDs don’t have a homicide unit. Conversely PDs in large cities have as it’s homicide budget second only to patrol. I would think that Philadelphia has a homicide budget well above 4% and if not that is probably where some of the problem is with not solving homicides.

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.

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.

One in 20 US homicides are committed by police – and the numbers aren’t falling | US policing | The Guardian

It is VERY IMPORTANT to keep in mind that this article has a single premise – police are bad. There I save you a lot of reading.

Now if you have an open mind and look at the evidence keep the following in mind as you read the article.

  • Offenders are accountable for their behavior.
  • Police react to offender’s behavior.
  • Police make mistakes and police make bad decisions under life and death conditions.
  • Unarmed people can kill.
  • It is lawful for police to protect themselves and others.
  • Police do not have to be shot at before they can use deadly force.
  • Police have to use more force than the offender to overcome the offender’s force.
  • Police use of force many times is not easy or pretty.
  • Disproportionate by race to it’s population does not equal racism.
  • There are many factors that drive police-citizen contacts.

Police killings of any sort account for nearly 5% of all homicides, with at least 1,192 people killed by law enforcement in 2022

Driving While Black A Report on Racial Profiling Metro Nashville Police Department Traffic Stops

Our report shows that “driving while black” constitutes a unique series of risks, vulnerabilities, and dangers at the hands of the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) that white drivers do not experience in the same way.

Upon reviewing MNPD’s traffic stop database, our report finds that:

• Between 2011-2015, MNPD conducted 7.7 times more traffic stops annually than the U.S. national average

• Between 2011-2015, MNPD made more stops of black people than there were black people 16 years old and over living in Davidson County

• Between 2011-2015, MNPD consistently and unnecessarily stopped and searched black drivers in predominantly black, Hispanic, and low-income communities at rates substantially higher than they did white drivers in predominantly middle to upper income communities

• MNPD consent searches are invasive and fail to yield incriminating evidence 88.4% of the time.

• Evidence of unlawful activity is found during searches of white drivers more often than in searches of black and Hispanic drivers

• Nearly 80% of all MNPD traffic stops in 2015 result in a warning, and, in traffic stops including a search of the vehicle or driver, between one-third and half result in a warning, which means hundreds of thousands of drivers are being stopped and searched unnecessarily every year

• Since 2012, Operation Safer Streets (OSS) has resulted in more than 58,000 vehicle stops and 11,000 arrests, the vast majority of which were concentrated in communities of color. More than 90% of OSS arrests were for misdemeanors, often for possession of small amounts of marijuana or driving without a license, and more than 80% of stops yielded no evidence that warranted arrest.
