How the NYPD defeated bodycams (pluralistic.net)

Police boosters insist that police violence and corruption are the result of "a few bad apples." As the saying goes, "a few bad apples spoil the bushel." If you think there are just a few bad cops on the force, then you should want to get rid of them before they wreck the whole institution. Bodycams could empirically identify...

Have you ever wondered what white phosphorus does to a child?

Look no further.

The people who build, distribute and use these have a special place in hell, if there is such thing, because it doesn't seem that they will ever held accountable for their crimes in our lifetime.

The term ‘accountability’ is frequently thrown around Christian circles. It fills me with unease because I think of it as giving another authority to punish me for failure. Which is why Dr. Cruickshank’s definition in her book, Ordinary Discipleship, is so helpful to me.

“But accountability is merely the ability to ask for an account of [my] actions.” (pg 143)

Looking Up an NYPD Officer’s Discipline Record?

Many Are There One Day, Gone the Next.

The department’s public site for tracking officers’ discipline is shockingly unreliable, a ProPublica analysis found.

Cases against officers frequently vanish for days — sometimes weeks — at a time.

As incident response and public relations go, blaming victims for your breach is generally not an impressive strategy. Michael Edgar reports that 23andMe seems to be doing exactly that. Read more at https://www.digit.fyi/23andme-says-breach-victims-are-to-blame-legal-action-is-futile/ or you may want to first read 23andMe's letter in which they claim that no breach occurred, but if it occurred, it's been remediated, and 23andMe didn't violate CMIA or GIPA either:

The drone strike that killed Iran's top commander, General , near Baghdad's airport in Iraq. Then Trump went on national TV said he ordered the hit.

donald t**** and mike Pompeo carried out the attack on the territory of a state that plainly did not give us permission, said Mary Ellen O'Connell, a law professor and an expert on international disputes at the University of Notre Dame. "The attack was unlawful, the assassination was not justifiable."
