The link goes to a pdf of the report. The graphics on the first page look like the modern “SkyNet” graphic that has been on FR lately.
I got to one point that freepers may like. Susan Rahr (Washington State) was talking about how the cops have gone from being guardians to quasi-military forces; which is a bad thing.
Before that though, the committee says that we need to look beyond just the police, but to our entire justice system and the fairness of it.
Some good ideas in the report, some bad. As I’m reading through:
Increase diversity in police forces (bad if they aren’t qualified).
Practice “shoot, don’t shoot” scenarios at least once a year. (Um yeah, that might be a good idea. Although from what I hear, gun practice isn’t high on the list for cops.)
Okay. I’ve got the info on Charles Ramsey.
African American - born in Chicago 1950
Cadet Chicago PD Cadet 18 yrs.
Chicago Police officer - 6 yrs
Chicago Sargent -
Chicago Lt
Chicago Captain
Chicago Narcodics Commander
Chicago Deputy Chief
Chicago Deputy Superintendent
Chief of Police Wash. D.C.
Initiated traffic check points. Took information about motorists who were not breaking any law at the time and entered them into a database. Called invasion of privacy by official of Police Union.
Arrested & detained in a park over 400 demonstrators, not all actual protesters. Court of Appeals ruled violation of fourth Amendment. City fined $1 million. Ramsey’s lawyer go $1.53 Million in fees. Ramsey retired. Came out of retirement as C of P in Philly.
You all can get what you will out of that. I’m asking for some of you to begin researching the other names on this paper. We need to see who will be handing it. Let’s don’t wait until it’s too late to blow the whistle on this project.
Many thanks 21twelve!

Post #30 is the .pdf of the report.
Pages i to ix are the members of the task force.
Research their background; save all links and do screencaps of webpages.... print hardcopies even.
0 is out of control, and one way to get control back is by exposing his minions.
