Failed response to Capitol riot shows deep divide over police use of force. - jonschuppe

“The differences we’re seeing in use of force are the political stripes of those who are being policed,” said Brian Griffey, a researcher and adviser at Amnesty International. That, he said, was on display at the U.S. Capitol, where he watched the protest morph into a riot.

experts gave Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, in September. They range from lessons on the First Amendment and crowd psychology to improved communication and “use of force proportionality” that prioritizes restraint and de-escalation. The answer, he tells police commanders in his crowd-management classes, is to do more to understand protesters before they show up, be more conscious of the political environment officers are working in, and respond proportionally to threats.

That racism doesn’t just affect the police response to protests; it also poisons police planning for the events, Williams said. Williams was not involved in the response to Wednesday’s riot. But, based on her experience in helping law enforcement plan for previous protests in the Capitol, Williams said police gather a lot of information in advance and assess the risk of violence, and Black protesters are typically seen as more of a risk than white protesters.

jonschuppe Start impeachment now, finish it after the new pres/vp and congress take their seats. Much easier to pass a resolution barring Trump from future office with Kamala there to break a senate tie. Plan to block the airports on 1/20 to arrest Trump as he leaves town and he will go now

jonschuppe These right wing insurrectionists are ppl who need serious help & they need to look in a mirror & have a very long look at what they’ve become & how we see them, how the world sees America BECAUSE of them. This needs to stop. There is a sinister agenda behind this GOP cult.

jonschuppe There are times to use force and times to not use it, this attack is in the definition of when to use it.
