Those who followed the Oakland police 2016 sex exploitation scandal will remember Officer Ryan Walterhouse. Amid the uproar, he thought it was ok to exploit a sex worker (completely unrelated to "Celeste Guap"). The DA's #SB1421 Brady dump provides some new info on this case.
Turns out a confidential informant provided OPD's Ceasefire Unit with the dirt on Walterhouse. The source had video, texts, and bank information providing Walterhouse was exploiting a sex worker.
The source, "X," was a pimp. He told OPD investigators that Walterhouse used Venmo to pay for sex.
The pimp said he was protecting "his 'bitch'" by informing on Walterhouse. He also described the information he proved to OPD as being the "key to the City," meaning he knew it was lucrative for OPD to show it was cleaning house.

It was only a matter of time until one of the neighbors terrorized by Jesse Enjaian's racist shooting spree sued the Oakland police for allowing him to remain free and armed for 1 week. Enjaian targetted Black residents with rifle fire and seeming impunity.
For those who need a refresher on this violent incident: Enjaian shot up his Oakland hills street on at least 3 occasions over 7 days.

He shot at neighbors and their vehicles on March 10, 13, and 14th.
When OPD officers responded, they declined to arrest Enjaian and disarm him.
One of Enjaian's neighbors went to an Oakland police investigator for help. She alleges the officer didn't take fast action to get a warrant to disarm and arrest Enjaian.

Here's a full recap of what happened in Contra Costa Superior Court today, where five police unions and a sheriffs deputies union attempted to obtain a preliminary injunction to block release of police misconduct records under the new #SB1421 law.
Activists rallied outside the courthouse and questioning the motives of police unions (including officers from Antioch, Richmond, Concord, Martinez, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa Sheriff) who are trying to block application of #SB1421 to records dated pre 1-1-2019.
Before #SB1421, police misconduct files were strictly secret. What the new law does is open up SUSTAINED cases where an officer was found to have committed wrongdoing. Also, it opens all shooting investigations and use of force resulting in great bodily harm.

So Square, the maker of mobile payment hardware and software, is leasing the former Sears building in Oakland. Here's some of what we know about Square:
Square founder Jack Dorsey was a leading opponent of Proposition C, San Francisco's recent ballot measure to tax large corporations to fund homeless services.
Square also has disputed other taxes SF authorities say the companies owes - sfexaminer.com/square-ceo-jac…
The technology Square is based on was allegedly stolen by Dorsey and his co-founder from a third person, Robert Morley.
Square paid Morley $50 million to settle a lawsuit over the matter.

#Remember
In Deuteronomy 8, Moses gave a very powerful speech. It was actually a Message. Moses told the children of Israel, and us by extension, in verse 2 to 'remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee'. #Remember
The greatest crime anyone of us will commit is to forget. We must #Remember all the way we were brought through because if we don't, we will misbehave and if we misbehave, we will suffer the consequences.

Remember when the democrats said Trump was lying about the human #trafficking occurring at the border? They said it was something he saw in a movie...
Why are Californian politicians so against securing our border?

2017 + 2016 stats
side note - the first set of numbers in the original post are only through June 30, 2018. That means 2018 numbers likely were about the same as 2017 & 2016, as pictured above.

Ok so I'm going to just pull things from yesterday's Comey / Senate Oversight hearing that interest me... oversight.house.gov/wp-content/upl… because it is more fun than working. #ComeyHearing
Mr. Gowdy. Let me see if I can ask the question more artfully. Did he (Strzok) help you prepare or edit your July 5th press statement? (statement essentailly clearing Hillary)

Mr. Comey. July 5th press statement? Yes, he did help edit that.
Mr. Gowdy. Lisa Page, she was an attorney with the FBI in 2016. Is that right?

Mr. Comey. Lisa Page, yes, that is correct. Lisa Page was an attorney I think before 2016, but certainly during 2016 assigned to the Office of General Counsel.

I've begun to see the inexorable sprawl of alerts, monitoring checks and dashboards as a deep well of technical debt.
you have an outage, or some system impacting event. you resolve it. you call a postmortem or retrospective. at the end, someone asks:

"can we make a dashboard so we can find the problem immediately next time?" and
"what alert can we set up, to notify us when this happens?"
fast-forward a year. how many dashboards does your team have to wade through? how many alerts wake you up in the dark of night? how much time do you spend tending and curating them or tweaking thresholds?

does everyone even use the same ones, or are you fragmented?

OK MY NON-SEX WORK FRIENDS LISTEN UP

I'm gonna tell you the story of how Backpage helped keep me safe during one of the scariest most dangerous times of my entire life
Trigger warning ahead for homelessness, abuse, drug use, coerced sex work, rape, cops being assholes, uh probably a whole bunch of other stuff.
I became homeless in March of 2016 when I abandoned my home, marriage, job, my entire life, because I was manic and I was under the spell of an extremely skilled and charismatic abusive piece of shit I refer to as "Barn Cat."

Ok, I’ll try and keep this brief, but lets talk PT Cruiser and the 2007 recession. FYI, I’m not *blaming* the crash on the PT Cruiser, just generally laying out how the story of the PT Cruiser and the people who bought them provides an early window into the lending meltdown...
(if you were in the car biz in the 00’s and want to chime in/check my work, feel free...just maybe turn your location off just in case any of your former customers are out there still pissed about what you did to them)
So rewind to the late 90s: economy was strong for a good chunk of consumers (definitely not everyone), and while lending wasn’t the free-for-all it was to become, it wasn’t terribly hard to get financing (again, a good chunk of people, but definitely not all)...
