Previously linked, but thanks to a law from the Wise and Good Philosopher-Queen* State Senator Nancy Skinner, so many skeletons are now being made public.

* not sardonic, she should be in charge of everything afaict

Isn't suppressing evidence more illegal than not signalling a turn?

When the prosecutors do it, who's gonna -prosecute- them? Oh, the feds. Right.

Sigh.

I am reminded at moments like this that, growing up in Texas, I never even thought of these possibilities, because (of course) I'm an Indian-American, and that's so different from Black and Hispanic Americans. I drove back-and-forth to college on I-45 many, many times. Even today, I count my lucky stars that I'm not Black in America today (or ever). It's disgusting to have this feeling, even while having it.

1: I hadn't realized the law enforcement agencies lost their case to stop the law. Looks like there's a lot of records requests getting processed now.

And today, I learn that the TV station in the area had Ms. Bland's cell video 19mos ago also, and did nothing with it. Turns out they're owned by Sinclair. Surprise surprise.

Daniel Pantaleo's administrative trial is set to begin on the 13th, and there is a call for people to pack the court to support the family. If you live in the NY area and you'd like information about doing this, lmk.

Oh, hey, FB message me with that.

I mean, to be clear, although I don't think anyone thought otherwise, of course to support *Eric Garner's* family, not Pantaleo's.

4: It hasn't made it to the state supreme court, I think, but the police unions got slapped down pretty hard in the first substantive lower court ruling, and the appeals court thoroughly agreed, refusing to keep the stay going.
