A new database on police use of force and misconduct in California makes public 1.5 million pages of once-secret police records
The database — the first of its kind in the nation — will vastly expand public access to internal affairs records that disclose how law enforcement agencies throughout the state handle misconduct allegations as well as uses of police force that result in death or serious injury. The database, funded by the State of California, currently has records from nearly 12,000 cases, including thousands involving police shootings. Every record in the database was released by a law enforcement agency after being redacted in compliance with California’s public records laws. As a result, journalists and members of the public will now be able to search statewide for particular types of misconduct and use-of-force. Police chiefs will be able to use the data to aid in hiring decisions. Researchers will be able to identify trends and patterns.
If Trump "wins" another election I can seriously see California secede.
If Trump is allowed to run again, there should be violent insurrection. If there isn’t, this country is lost.
We're already lost. Trump is a symptom, not the disease
We couldn't even GOTV to slow this process down, what makes you think we'll do a revolution?
Canada would gladly welcome California.
More trouble than it's worth; Canada welcomes the sovereign New California Republic as a close trading partner
Throw in Oregon and Washington as well so we're all connected!
Fuck that, BC, WA, Oregon and Cali break off and form the nation of Cascadia.
Why wouldn't they just be their own country?
