SCOTUS just allowed Alabama's execution of Anthony Boyd: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p... Justice Sotomayor wrote this vivid dissent blasting AL for using the method of nitrogen gas. @laurengill.bsky.social's reporting from an AL execution shows you why: boltsmag.org/alabama-nitr...
Take out your phone, go to the clock app, and find the
stopwatch. Click start. Now watch the seconds as they
climb. Three seconds come and go in a blink. At the thirtysecond mark, your mind starts to wander. One minute
passes, and you begin to think that this is taking a long
time. Two . . . three . . . . The clock ticks on. Then, finally,
you make it to four minutes. Hit stop.
Now imagine for that entire time, you are suffocating.
You want to breathe; you have to breathe. But you are
strapped to a gurney with a mask on your face pumping
your lungs with nitrogen gas. Your mind knows that the
gas will kill you. But your body keeps telling you to breathe.
That is what awaits Anthony Boyd tonight. For two to
four minutes, Boyd will remain conscious while the State of
Alabama kills him in this way. When the gas starts flowing, he will immediately convulse. He will gasp for air.

SPOG's main concession: Allowing CARE to expand and (supposedly) handle more calls on its own. However, SPOG has done nothing but undermine CARE so far. Despite past concessions on civilianization (flaggers, traffic cam review), cops mostly remain in those roles

There are countless cases where officers have been accused credibly of committing actual crimes (theft, DV, etc.) but findings have not been sustained because the OPA can’t meet the elevated standard.

It would be surprising (almost outside of the realm of plausibility) for SPOG to give this up. It’s the main tool by which SPOG protects officers who have been accused of criminal behavior or dishonesty.

Erica Barnett reports that the agreement will lower the standard of review for arbitration from “beyond a reasonable doubt” (not the standard) to a simple preponderance of evidence. Not sure if this is accurate, but it would actually be significant, not “minimal”

Also, not too sure about these “sources,” but they can’t be too “familiar with the contract” The existing contract only imposes an “elevated standard of review” on termination cases that are “stigmatizing.” In practice, the standard is “clear and convincing” not “beyond a reasonable doubt”

NEW: One of the left's big opportunities next month is Seattle's mayoral race, & the city's approach to homeless has become a huge fault line there. The incumbent mayor has dramatically scaled up sweeps, and his challenger is testing whether voters thinks he's gone too far:

They don’t even consider disciplinary history. It’s purely based on officers’ rankings on the exam. If there are more vacancies than officers on the register, they just promote everyone automatically.

This is also inaccurate. Erica should've read through our posts more thoroughly when she was raiding them. Tietjen was supposedly transferred for this incident, but he had been at the North Precinct since Nov 2020 and remained after the case closed. He was promoted a few months later.

The Republicans have won votes using a kind of radical authenticity, where they are perceived as saying what they mean (even if it isn’t true). And yet some Dems are still trying to figure out how to say what some imagined swing voters want… rather than finding their own authentic message.

Seattle police policy bars cops from using Tasers on fleeing suspects because there's a high risk of injury. A cop did and injured someone. The OPA said this was okay. www.divestspd.com/p/no-discipl...

No discipline for cop who Tasered, injured fleeing man
Seattle police policy explicitly forbids cops from using Tasers on fleeing people, but the OPA was convinced by Officer Gabriel Ladd's speculative rationale
