Don't connect your phone to work. Close your laptop at 5. Walk away. Keep to a standard schedule.
I actually read the critique of democrats are coming from the left. Left wing folks tend to hate the Dems (who are a center right party).
Great! Let me know what resources I should read up on.
Police departments in the US derived from English law, which had a system of unpaid enforcement via gentry. Prior to that, reeves were individuals charged with keeping the peace. Prior to that it was expected everyone…
Plenty of communes have existed at varying scales historically. Plus, something like Mondragon exists with a large scale. It's less commune and more workers coop at the billion dollar scale, but it's nevertheless a…

This is sort of the fundamental building block of many socialist and anarchist movements. The concept of "mutual aid" as put forward by folks like Kropotkin is basically we should build communities that help one…
You should consider checking your humors or mediate or something, because wanting to do violence because of some Internet text is not healthy human behavior.
I don't know what to tell you. People were paid to protect someone's stuff, those people were called guards, but they weren't enforcing law. Some people were given ownership of a place and the people in that place, they…
I didn't compare protection of people in low income areas. I compared policing of people in low income areas. Policing and protection are not synonyms. Ideally they overlap, in practice they may or may not overlap.
> Before describing the details of the framework, the high-level intuition is that we are reweighting the Nexar data sample, which is sampled from a non-representative set of locations, so that it matches the locations…
I'm saying the opposite. Originally, enforcement was communal - it was a periodic expectation, something you did but didn't get paid for. Then the wealthy started paying people to take the unpleasant shift, but even…
So, it's research into a topic you don't think should be researched? Do you have any problems with the methodology or conclusions? Like, science can still be science even if it's pursued in the name of social justice.…
As a former engineer and now manager, it's not easier. It's different. Like, yes I write much less code, but I also have to show much more empathy and be able to communicate with different people differently. Helping…
Probably worth noting powerful police unions. A police union is a very different thing than a workers union.
Misled implies a degree of intent, the wording is ambiguous but I don't assume ill intent by the author, especially when they later spend a paragraph explaining why they did not slice by covariates.
They talk about that in the paper, noting not police departments but also prisons (eg, Rikers). But the data is collected on a per census block level, so even though there exists some outlier blocks, the overall trends…
Interestingly, you are correct, but you omitted the rest of the paragraph where they articulate why, emphasizing that across booth residential and commercial neighborhoods there is a striking difference in policing. >…
It's research, are we not allowed to research Police and report on the results? That stance seems anti science to me...
The paper covers this quite explicitly in sections 3 and 4.1.
Presumably time of day is evident from the photo or photo metadata.
> Two strikingly different types of areas experience high police vehicle deployments — 1) dense, higher-income, commercial areas and 2) lower-income neighborhoods with higher proportions of Black and Hispanic residents.…
Presumably because low income white neighborhoods did not receive the same treatment. At least that's the inference I drew.
