“getting harmless residents the help they need”
Denver’s STAR program, which allows health care workers instead of police officers to respond to some 911 calls, has been a success. There have been 748 incidents. None required police or led to arrests, @denverite reports. trib.al/5jn19zJ

👀Who's writing the case study of the San Diego "smart streetlights" as a failed attempt at tech-centric policy improvement but with significant surveillance creep?? What began as a program to improve air quality and traffic is now literally just a network of police cams.
San Diego’s smart streetlights program is now officially and exclusively a tool for local police, with the consent of the mayor’s office. voiceofsandiego.org/topics/p…
So much NO.
🚨Another smart streetlights bombshell from @marxjesse: Though the program was sold as a way to generate transit and mobility data, that data stream has quietly been turned off. The streetlights are now exclusively a tool for the police. voiceofsandiego.org/topics/p…

On the @SanDiegoPD:
"[Local findings show] that if the suspect is white, police are more likely to use alternative or less lethal methods of force. But if the suspect is a person of color, they are more likely to shoot."

#ElijahMcClain should be alive today. I applaud the @GovofCO’s actions today. DA Dave Young should be removed from the case so that justice can be served. – at Denver, CO
