Miami cop Jonathan Aledda has been acquitted of attempted manslaughter in the shooting of Charles Kinney, a caretaker for Arnaldo Rios. Mr. Rios was playing with a toy truck & Mr. Kinney, who is Black, had his hands in the air, when Aledda shot him. washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06…
Officer Aledda was found guilty of the misdemeanor charge of culpable negligence, but that does not preclude him from staying on the Miami Dade police force.
The verdict, handed down on Tuesday, was a blip on the news cycle and barely registered on Twitter.

.@WaywardWinifred @briebriejoy Have you seen this. @BernieSanders says 2 seconds in, he would close the facilities the children are currently being held in and doesn't want children to be held in detention centers. @Enrique_Acevedo has completely misrepresented the interview.
Let me correct @Enrique_Acevedo's recitation of the interview.

First question: Should the current facilities be shut down?

@BernieSanders: Yes.

Like literally within the first 2 seconds, he says they should be closed.

@Enrique_Acevedo's tweet says the exact opposite.
@BernieSanders: When we talk about providing accommodation to immigrants who have crossed the border we should not use the word detention centers because detention centers are jails. People who cross the border should not be in jails.

Australia has the most morally abhorrent, cruel and inhumane immigration policies in the world.

They are a model for no other country.

The Democratic debates are tonight & lots of media about how candidates can appeal to Black voters. Here's an idea. Talk about racism in the criminal legal system, policing, the criminalization of poverty. Maybe have 1 of your 21 plans address all of this. theappeal.org/spotlight-pres…
Lest I be misunderstood, I do not think for a minute that the only issue that matters to Black voters is criminal justice reform. And I think we should LISTEN to Black people tell us what matters instead of talking at people.
As a public defender and someone passionate about racial justice, I am focused on this stuff, but I definitely know it's one part of so much more.

In tonight's criminal justice news, another cop escapes punishment for shooting an unarmed black man for sport

Killer cop Jonathan Aledda convinced a jury he wasn't guilty of shooting Charles Kinsey...

...b/c he was trying to kill the autistic boy Kinsey was watching instead
Not gonna say I called it... but I called it

Acquitted on one, 5-1 vote to acquit on the other three – meaning DA likely won't re-prosecute

*** THREAD ***

I would like to say something about the #Miami MLS proposal.

Firstly, forget the merits, there's a big problem.

The process.

I do not trust it.

Residents must make a final decision on a complex multi-million dollar real estate transaction.

1/
Thus far, the @MiamiHerald's @joeflech was stonewalled when requesting the public records to report on it during the last month.

The vote is Thursday.

Then it goes to a referendum where competing groups will dump millions of dollars into lobbying a plan nobody has seen yet.

2/
Residents of @CityofMiami have seen the failure of the backwards approach to business time & time again.

Not just from failed developments.

But from MLS very specifically, who has already announced another stadium deal with the City of Miami in 2015

結論から申し上げると「素晴らしい」の一言に尽きると思います。これまで私が映像で目にしてきた声優が歌い会場が応える形式とは全く異なりますが、最新技術を駆使して具現化した彼女達は確かに私達の眼前に存在したと自信を持って申し上げます。（続く）
#アイマスMR
今まではTV画面の中にしか存在しなかった彼女達がそのまま現れるとはどういうことなのか。それは単に立体視できるだけではなく、煌びやかなスポットライトに照らされれば立ち姿の見え方が変わり、スモークを焚けば輪郭がぼやける。だからこそ私達は彼女達の存在を確信できたということです。（続く）
もちろんソロパートのダンサーとの連携も完璧。演出上の都合でダンサーが小道具を持ち出したのですが、その小道具を響が覗き込む様子など最早人間と立体視映像の差異はどこにあるのか見失ってしまった程です。ここまで可能ならば6000円超という料金にも納得できます。（続く）

Absolutely shocked with @Uber customer services after the worst Uber trip in #Miami

Booked a trip to FLL Airport yesterday, should be an easy trip, one highway most of the way

Driver spoke not a word of English, ok I get Miami is partially Spanish speaking, but not a word? 1/
Uber's response: "We know that not being able to clearly communicate with your driver can be frustrating."

What? There's no basic requirement to be able to talk to passengers?

But actually that wasn't the main issue, more so that he couldn't operate his - Spanish - SatNav 2/
So he exits I-95 (the highway up from Miami north) early THREE times. Each time he has to get back on the highway which involves sudden veering of lanes.

At this point I'm getting anxious - no phone roaming to call for help, can't talk to him and a flight to catch 3/

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
