First story I was ever assigned involved a suicidal young man with a knife who was shot by police in a bedroom. That was 2001. Nothing’s changed. Where’s the de-escalation training? sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-sa…
Seems that the young man who was killed, Ryan Bowers, was a promising rap artist: thesource.com/2019/01/08/san…
Not really my thing musically, but definitely a talented kid. m.soundcloud.com/ryanbowers/may…

San Diego County Medical Examiner just released Earl McNeil's autopsy report. Significant portions of the investigative narrative are redacted, but the report notes abrasions to his wrists, knee and foot +
Cause of death is hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy — brain damage from lack of oxygen —due to resuscitated cardiorespiratory arrest. Meth toxicity, agitation and and "respiratory compromise" are also contributing factors.
This doesn't strike me as any different than any positional restraint death, even though the Wrap (used on McNeil) is supposed to be more humane than hogtying.

The AG is to conduct a thorough study and enact programs in prisons designed to reduce “Recidivism” (the rate at which released prisoners commit crimes again and re-enter the prison system).

The Reichstag Warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.

#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/
The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German #president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

All right, friends, gather round (or maybe mute me for the next hour or so), because it's just me and a bottle of local rum for this 4th of July afternoon and I'm waiting until later this evening to watch Captain America for the 97th time, so I'mma give you all a DRUNK HISTORY.
(I've been threatening a couple of people with this story forever, and I went and did some Very Serious fact checking to prepare for it when I was at the beach a couple weeks ago, but I've also had a LOT of rum so take all of this with the proverbial grain of salt.)
In the Outer Banks of North Carolina is a town called Beaufort (pronounced BO-fert, and not to be confused with Beaufort, SC, pronounced BYEW-fert, because America). Beaufort was established in 1709 and is sometimes said to be the site of the last battle of the Revolutionary War.

Weird how the "broken window" theory of policing is never applied to policing, isn't it?
The broken window theory is you have to take minor mischief and vandalism seriously or people think they can get away with breaking the law.
It's basically a fancy name for "zero tolerance" mixed with "keeping up appearances".
