They will have to be mandatory- if portions of your shift are not recorded,that would be an offense, offenses would lead to dismissal, without pension etc etc. If you shoot somebody while on duty, and that is not recorded- then the question becomes "why were you not recording in compliance with the mandate to record?"…

The Rialto, CA experiment with them reduced use of excessive force by 90% and all use of force by over 50%. And that was in a department that already used cameras on their tasers, audio recorders, and cameras on their cars. In jurisdictions starting from zero for police monitoring the effect would be even greater.

Jesus Christ.... Not again. Between this & Hatra...what a fuckin' day. Maybe there's a medium sized island somewhere we could start a new country. Fuck-it-allapolis.

Body cameras, body cameras, body cameras. On every officer, recording every minute of their work shift. Clearly, even with increased scrutiny they still feel compelled to make lethal decisions. Only with incontrovertible evidence can we stop this shit. It's time to let them know they are being watched.

Here is a recreation of their conversation:

... which is why you'll be the natural choice to work late three nights this week, because the folks with kids really need to get home. And you can work Christmas too, I'm sure, because all of us have to be with our families at this special time of year. Being an old crone with a wizened, barren uterus, well, we can…

"Well, Mr. President I'm sorry that today isn't what you were expecting and I agree that History will almost certainly remember her as being the most important member of the Scooby Gang but Selma, sir, is the city in Alabama"

"No, George, they're not going to play Sweet Home Alabama."

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this reaction. I'm also childless, and my second thought after reading this (and after thinking, "Jesus, what a terrible person!") was that now she's a part of TeamMom, she's going to start treating employees without kids like shit. You can see the seeds of it in the editorial, as…

Yup, exactly. And note that now she has kids, she's shitting on people without them- because apparently only mothers can meet deadlines and multitask and blah, blah, blah.

That was exactly my reaction when this article started popping up in my FB feed. Sure, now she's super sympathetic to moms... because she is one. She just sounds like a horrible manager (and not terribly nice person all around) who's only changed her attitude toward one group of people she treated like shit because…

Also, if you're coming into work at 10:30, don't bitch when your employees who got to work at 8:30 leave at 5:00. I had a boss who routinely showed up for work around lunchtime (or rather, just in time to go to lunch) and come 5:00 he was always like "where's everyone going?" Um.....we got our work done during the…

The working late/butts in the seat mentality is so stupid. If I can get my work done in six hours, why should I stay the extra two hours? I'm not getting paid extra when I stay late to finish something or work on weekends or at night. The quality of work should matter more than physical presence for all employees.…

Don't schedule meetings with anyone, parent or not, at 4:30 pm. Unless you are a monster.

Well, I mean, now that it's happened to her she can empathize. Just like Republicans who have gay children and are suddenly all aboard the equal marriage train. Heartless until it's a problem they're personally facing. And that's what this woman was. Heartless. Excuse me if I don't applaud her sudden change of heart.

She sounds like she was pretty much a dick as a manager if you DIDN'T have kids. For fuck's sake people, some of us have lives, hobbies, OTHER family members we like to spend time with. Companies have stopped giving a shit about any of us... why do they think we'll continue to sacrifice everything, and kill ourselves…

*high five* RIP Sophia Yin. :(

I know, I like it too much!

I'm under your spell!

This week my BF was supposed to be out for the evening and changed his plans at the last minute, then he said "what are *we* going to do for dinner?" LOL - "I'm having chips and dip and rum, you can have whatever you like" ;)
