^^Mia Farrow quotes Prof Phillip Atiba Goff, whose title she truncates and who is also co-CEO of Policing Equity, here on much the same talking points he went into last night in the wake of the teeny-tiny consent decree put on the MPD, whose first police "PR" release in the wake of George Floyd's death was the standard box of lies put out by most police departments in the wake of a shooting of an unarmed Black person
On this Juneteenth weekend, neither of Professor Goff's TWO interviews on MSNBC last night in the wake of AG Garland's announcement of the consent decree is available either on social media or YouTube, so a short primer on the math he presented:
There are 12 currently active "pattern and practice" consent decrees in United States police departments, of which 11 are "being negotiated" and only ONE CITY's is "compliant".
The MOST striking thing about all of this which the U.S. "Department of Justice" will literally never tell you -- especially in light of its own FBI's repeated suppression of information concerning white nationalist infiltration both of law enforcement and the military -- is that Minneapolis is NOT one of the 18,000 of the WORST police departments in the country when it comes to racist abuse of its own citizens.
One of this country's favorite tricks is to make a teeny weeny little itty bit of progress and then TRUMPET IT VERY LOUDLY -- or even forget to do anything at all despite overwhelming popular demand for it and just hope in the crush of daily demands that the citizenry just forgets -- so that people will not notice the scale of the bucket in comparison to the drop
Just a little more math for today, since it's a weekend
