The problem is that it’s not a database of police blotter events... or at least a couple of queries to one. That is to say, I bet dollars to donughts the “public database” is completely disparate from the police’s own databases.
I’ve had SOME experience w/ the government in my 8.5 years of enlistment and I can say this: people are not trained to do their job effectively, they are forced to use the tools/procedures of the lowest common denominator. This is why they’ll do EVERYTHING in Excel... especially when a database would be better. [slightly sarcastic hyperbole, but more true than is comfortable]
LAâs A-âhole mayor “Tony Villar” been toting his crime reduction stats...everyone out there knows their cooked by the crook
They PROBABLY did not report any crimes committed by “minorities” against white people.
