Experience matters in how we investigate officer-involved shootings, but so do structure, transparency, and discipline. When those are missing, legitimacy suffers. Some thoughts here.

When crises happen, credibility is built through discipline and restraint, not speed. Chasing the narrative too early can undermine legitimacy. I unpack that tension here. open.substack.com/pub/maxgeron...

I like to cook and I also HATE trying to scroll through all the junk looking for recipes online. If you type “cooked.wiki/“ right in front of the recipe site’s URL, it pulls out the recipe and instructions and makes getting right to the recipe so much easier! I found this on “The Redits” :)

I expect we’ll see a rise in conflicts between police and protesters, along with an increase in the use of less-lethal munitions and force during these encounters.

I love the quote & the sentiment! The lieutenant’s myopic view isn’t what we need from police. Some people do need arresting & some need tickets but many just need help to make their lives better. I’m glad that interaction inspired him into leadership and sorry that it likely discouraged others.

Radley brings up an unfortunate byproduct of politics & bureaucracy. Fixing the problem of bad convictions results in payouts & accountability. If we’re truly going to use data & analysis, it behooves us to shine light & transparency on the entire process, learning all the ways we need to improve.

Our System 1 thinking immediately tells us the answer is 10 cents. But when we stop and engage our System 2 - analytical thinking we see the ball actually costs 5 cents, making the bat $1.05 and the two together totaling $1.10. So fascinating.

Chief Max Geron @chiefgeron.bsky.social · 19/11/2024
I think that’s a great question! An initial hypothesis lies with human beings as narrative processors as opposed to statistical processors. Taking an example from Daniel Kahnamen: a bat & ball together cost $1.10. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

The trend is toward more and improved training but the time to implement such training varies greatly and culture change likewise takes time to occur. As for your second question, I think there are better training philosophies and mechanisms, and providers that reduce crime, and…

Community expectations and standards create a unique situation in the U.S. where states, in general, set minimum standards for law enforcement certification. However, even within the same state or even region of a state, communities have a significant influence on LE culture and how they are policed

Happy to be on @bsky.app. I’ve spent over 30yrs in law enforcement. I’ve studied and written on policing protest and demonstrations and their complex adaptive nature. In recent years I’ve focused on alternative responses to behavioral health calls and wellness for citizens and officers alike.

In Texas you’d need more context. Ranges from Disorderly Conduct, to Deadly Conduct, to Aggravated Assault.
