Honored to announce that my article examining the crucial role that grand juries play in protecting & perpetuating police-suspect impunity is forthcoming in @OregonLawReview! It’s also available on SSRN — I’d love to hear your feedback.
The risk here is bottom line funding cuts risk institutions getting leaner & meaner. Decarceration, on the other hand…
If you want to shrink the govt, @elonmusk & @VivekGRamaswamy & you're gonna remain intellectually honest, then @DOGE should start here:
The US govt spends $81b annually on prisons & jails. NYC spends $556k a person per year – or $1,525 per day.
No private sector business could have such an abysmal ROI & continue to operate...except maybe @WeWork.

Thank you @CollegeGameDay for this.
@KirkHerbstreit I know that feeling of not even being able to talk about your dog because it hurts your heart so bad. Prayers sir.
And most importantly, thank you Ben ❤️

New review of government spending & crime concludes "education spending efficiently and durably reduces crime with fewer negative externalities than policing but longer delays." Less evidence on effect of housing & employment $. @BrendenBeck @AnnualReviews annualreviews.org/content/jo…
Earlier this week, we @ukcollegeoflaw had the great opportunity to learn from @nbanteka and hear more about her Article, Police Vigilantism, forthcoming in @VaLawRev. Thanks for visiting us, Professor Banteka!
This is called the muni hop and @SLULAW professor Roger Goldman researched it for decades. See here, for example: scholarship.law.slu.edu/cgi/…

One recruit died and another was disabled after the “Big Fight” at the police academy. An AP investigation shows how police in Evansville, Indiana, also downplayed the use of force in four fatal encounters with civilians on city streets. apnews.com/article/police-us…

I just left our local branch and remarked, “Public libraries are legitimately amazing.” I *love* public libraries, and the Libby app (paired with a Kindle) is also 10/10 cc @FriendsLPL

This week in my seminar, “Law, Society, & American Policing,” we’re discussing police discretion. We’re going to watch this body cam video and talk about the discretionary decisions that were made, why discretion is good, and what are some cons of discretionary decision-making.
Video shows that officers dragged Tyreek Hill out of his car after he put his window back up apnews.com/article/dolphins-…
