It looks like @deray was meeting with Eric Garcetti as early as June 10 last year to peddle police reforms no one wanted. @lapdcommission was so excited about it they emailed him for details.
This was nearly a week after local organizers led by @LACANetwork @BLMLA and @stoplapdspying had publicly condemned the #8cantwait proposals that @deray was trying to sell to LAPD
Wherever you live, you should file records requests of your police department's conversations with reform professionals. Also come to this tm night to learn more about using public records requests:
I should add that not long after meeting with @deray, Garcetti announced: "LAPD is fully compliant with #8cantwait. I wish it had gotten more coverage, because tens of thousands have been in the streets for that sort of change."
Here's @deray again working hard to undercut local demands:

People in Louisville determined that the mayor could fire Breonna Taylor's killers and pressed that demand. DeRay then shows up to "code" why the officers can't be suspended, which is harder.

Check out how police reformers are working to increase LAPD's bureaucracy, training budgets, and data collection:
Background: starting this July, LAPD convened several reform professionals, Obama administration officials, and nonprofit executives as an "Advisory Committee on Building Trust and Equity." LAPD announced this as "groundbreaking reforms." ImageImage ImageImage
This committee recently sent LAPD a draft of proposed reforms. Nearly every single proposal increases police bureaucracy, data collection/sharing, and training. The rest is naive platitudes like this: ImageImageImage

Chicago just shut down a “predictive" policing experiment that started in 2012. This report about has a bunch of alarming details about it, including info other cities have kept secret about their similar programs: igchicago.org/wp-content/upl…
Chicago used algorithmic risk scores to run a program literally called “TRAP,” which targetted people for “enhanced prosecution" if police thought they had “propensity” for future crime
Arrests for minor traffic offenses including speeding (which can be some of the most discriminatory and arbitrary forms of policing) could raise your propensity “score” and lead police to target you again
