"In 2020, there were only six programs in the U.S. that sent unarmed responders, such as mental health clinicians, to certain 911 calls instead of police officers. Now, these programs — sometimes called alternative or community response — are in nearly 100 cities." www.npr.org/2026/09/22/n...

Alternative response programs, where mental health clinicians respond to 911 calls instead of police, have proliferated since George Floyd's murder. What does it take to do this work well?

the answer to the vast majority of crime is "give people the resources they need to survive", whether that be money or healthcare (physical and mental) or education but we divert those resources so cops can drive around in Explorers wasting gas and looking to start shit because they're bored.

If you object to public-funded housing of homeless people, in the end the objection cannot be the cost, because we pay a premium to be cruel to homeless people. At the bottom of the objection will always sit dehumanizing cruelty and a desire for eradication.

Also, I want to say this: just because the settlement administration THINKS something should be a certain way doesn't mean it HAS TO BE that way. You can always ask the special master for a ruling. The settlement administrator HAS to allow you to do that.

After seeing genAI game trailers appear even before Gamescom, I reached out to a few trailer editors to see how they feel about its use. Derek Lieu gave me this winner of a quote, among many others in the article.
A quote from the article, said by Derek Lieu. "Even without considering the negative ethical, ecological, or legal implications of using genAI (of which there are MANY), I think it's utterly ridiculous to even consider using it in creative works because even a little bit will make people question everything else in the game or trailer. You can’t put a tiny little bit of poop in a dinner and expect people to eat it."

The city of Tempe, Arizona, says it is ending its Flock program
Tempe, AZ - The City of Tempe has turned off its Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) system and will end its contract with the company. The cameras are no longer collecting license plate data and will be removed by Flock. The City will not seek another company to replace the system.
While the cameras have been a useful tool for Tempe Police, helping officers solve crimes, recent cases involving the misuse of automated license plate reader systems in Arizona and nationwide have raised concerns about the risks that come with the technology.Tempe Police has found no misuse of its own Flock system. The department audits its searches each month, and no improper use has been identified.
"These cameras have helped our police officers do their jobs, and we don't discount that," said Tempe Mayor Corey Woods. "But the risk of misuse is too great. We have to be able to provide public safety in a way that maintains the trust of our community. For Tempe, that means taking these cameras down."
"Any law enforcement tool used by the City must not pose a risk of infringing on residents' civil liberties," said Tempe Councilmember Bobby Nichols. "We have a responsibility to ensure that these technolo- gies are only employed if they present a narrowly tailored solution to a compelling government interest. I'm grateful to the City staff for this quick action and responsiveness to constituents' concerns."Residents may continue to see Flock cameras in Tempe until the company removes its equipment. Data previously collected by the system is stored for 30 days and then automatically deleted unless it is connected to an ongoing case or investigation. In those cases, the data may be retained as needed for the investigation. No new license plate data is being collected now that the system has been turned off.
Ending the use of the Flock system will change how Tempe Police approaches some investigations. Officers will continue to use other investigative tools and law enforcement partnerships to prevent crime, solve cases and respond when the community needs
them.The decision follows steps Tempe took earlier this month in response to community concerns. On Aug. 10, the City stopped sharing its Flock data with other law enforcement agencies. Tempe Police also launched a public Transparency Portal so residents could see how the system was being used. The portal will be discontinued now that the Flock system has been turned off.
The City of Tempe remains fully committed to both community safety and transparency. Residents can continue to track Tempe's public safety performance through the City's Strategic Management Performance Measures.
