Obama Admin Releases Long Awaited New E.O. 12333 Rules on Sharing of Raw Signals Intelligence Information Within IC

[Jane]

Twitter is subject to gif fervent rules than newspapers. They can’t de sued for defamation. First thing you do is subject them to the same rules.

[hrtshpdbox]

What's that, Jane, covfefe rules? :-)

Miss M, I always loved that Goldberg's intent was always something simple, like "turn on the light", and with the most overly elaborate (though ingenious) way to get it done.

[Narciso]

Indeed those were classic.

Hrts,

So happy for your wife. Does she come home today?

The newspaper rules need to be changed too, to not give them a pass, but it’s a start. I wonder if that ass on twitter will get fired.

Listening to Grenell on Levin's show last night.

[Jane]

Btw the riots in Minneapolis were awful, broke into stores and stole everything. The murder of Floyd was worse and they were rioting over the fact the cops haven’t been arrested.

Apparently a grand jury is being convened. The rioters are not reflecting Floyd well as Narc’s link shows.

Relevant to that XO on social media. https://points.datasociety.net/parallel-pandemics-a7d2f5bba9cf

"The novel coronavirus has unleashed two parallel pandemics. One is the biological pandemic of COVID-19. The second is a social pandemic of digital misinformation: an infodemic. This 'infodemic' not just militates against our success in containing COVID-19; it fundamentally threatens to weaken the democratic values that underpin our societies." — Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, Points

Also this "Twitter creating a carve-out for public leaders is 'misguided,' said Joan Donovan, research director at Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center, who studies disinformation. 'If world leaders are not kept to the same standard as everyone else, they wield more power to harass, defame and silence others.'" — Kate Conger and Davey Alba, The New York Times

Have you ever read anything by Alastair Reynolds?

There's a scene in one of his books where someone's severely injured, so they surgically decapitate her and stick her head on a robot body until they can grow a new one.

I always wondered what that would actually look like. Now I know.

[Narciso]

So, this article is being pushed by Samantha Power:

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/27/marco-rubio-russia-obama-282878

Once again, this morning the President is retweeting quite a few people, including Gregg Jarrett, Victoria Toensing, Dan Bongino, and a few private citizens. They include articles and vieos, too many for me to copy here, so here is the link to his page:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump

I will check his page frequently and only post those original posts by him.

[Narciso]

Did she, well tbat does suggest something.

[jimmyk]

I don’t recall any rioting or looting after Damond was murdered by police.

I was wondering along similar lines. Here we have a local news story trumpeted nationally because it involved a white cop and a black victim. How often is it the reverse? Or black cop, black victim, or white cop, white victim? We can't know because the media don't bother with those stories. (The Damond case was an exception because it was so extreme, though I don't know how extensive the coverage was.)

I'm pretty sure I recall seeing that in general the stats on police shootings were about what you'd expect, in rough proportion to the racial composition of police and criminals.

While it doesn't look good for that cop, I don't care for calling this "murder" until there's a trial and conviction.

[henry]

CNN dude, but a thread

@b_fung

NEW: The White House did not consult the FCC on a forthcoming executive order pertaining to social media companies, according to a person briefed on the matter.

This suggests the draft order has not gone through the normal interagency review process.

[Captain Hate]

(The Damond case was an exception because it was so extreme, though I don't know how extensive the coverage was.)

Coverage was almost non existent by the national enemedia. I had to check Powerline for coverage, and they included local reports that reported it acceptably thoroughly.

[hrtshpdbox]

This suggests the draft order has not gone through the normal interagency review process.

If the order includes phrases like "no one has ever seen anything like this" and "really terrible terrible people", that will be the tell.

[Another Bob]

Narc, I saw that link posted elsewhere, with breathless “the cop likes killing black people”. Except no black people were actually killed.

Cities with civilian review boards make it very easy to complain about police, so complaint counts aren’t necessarily an indicator of anything, really.

I've got a prediction. Personally, I think it's hilarious that Trump bats Scarborough around as a cat does with a mouse, but I don't see how he demands internet behavior from others in the current environment. Therefore, in a shocker, Trump will apologize about (probably not to, directly) Scarborough. Trump Apology, I wish I could get odds on it.

It feels like progress that our biggest "race problem" this week finds pretty much everyone on the same side while we weirdly pretend it is not the case. I could be wrong, but I think most citizens oppose police murder, riots, and looting, regardless of race.

[hrtshpdbox]

A-Bob, I think blacks are not unreasonable if they see that video and see racism, and blacks have seen way too many videos like that. Before everyone had a camera 24/7, there were horrible things that happened just the same - at the NYPD, for instance. I don't believe it even is racism, it's just bad cops. Cops have cuffs and nightsticks and guns - every street cop needs a psych eval every year. The teachable moment is that Trump can show the citizenry that bad cops won't be tolerated, that good cops aren't racist, and that blacks don't need to tear apart their own neighborhoods to get an actual response from government that will improve things for the first time ever. Trump can pull this off.

[Captain Hate]

[MissMarple2]

hrtshpdbox,

IF the jackals in the MSM can shut up long enough to allow him to speak.

The Left is interested in portraying him as a racist, even though he has black cabinet members, Hispanic cabinet members, minorities in high positions, support of black pastors, and has done more for minorities than any of his predecessors.

There also used to be numerous photos of him joking and palling around with black boxers, AL SHARPTON, black singers, and other black celebrities in New York.

Meanwhile, they shove Biden's numerous racist comments and actions under the table

[MissMarple2]

Jane,

I am so sorry about your eye. I will keep praying for healing.

[Jane]

Oh guys, I'm sorry I whined. i'm just annoyed. Lot's of people have worse things going on.

[Another Bob]

"blacks are not unreasonable if they see that video and see racism" We'll agree to disagree on that. The demographics of crime, particularly the sort of crime that people fear most, are well known and beyond serious question. Even Jesse Jackson once acknowledged that in a weak moment.

And "every street cop needs a psych eval every year"? About the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.

I take it you don't know any police in real life?

[hrtshpdbox]

Unlike most people and certainly all other presidents, Miss M, it doesn't phase Trump at all when he's called a racist, he'll just say he's the least racist person on the planet and drive on. His authenticity bowls right over the naysayers.

A-Bob, I'm standing by the dumbest thing you've heard in a long time (hey, don't forget I recommended UAL last week, so at least give me 1-and-1). Cops are the greatest, love 'em, and psych evals for street cops might have prevented what just happened in Minneapolis. I think it (the evals) will happen, too, even though so far the only person I know who has mentioned it is me.

[Another Bob]

We do agree there are bad police. And good luck retaining the good police when you're calling then psych cases.

Ironic that the Central Park dog lady is being called a 'Karen,' when in fact it was the 'birdwatcher' who was really the Karen by telling her that her dog was supposed to be on a leash.

Central Park ‘Karen’ previously sued alleged romantic interest for stealing $65k, a story he calls ‘fabricated’

There's a serial killer case that I follow pretty closely, because I came from the area where most of the bodies were found and because I even have some theories about it. They've just made a Netflix movie about the thus unsolved Long Island Serial Killer (which, naturally, is an inaccurate movie based on an inaccurate book), the victims of whom were generally Craigslist prostitutes. One of the impediments to solving the case has been that the police refused to actively solicit the FBI's help, and the reason became clear when the police chief was arrested; James Burke was arrested for brutalizing some junkie in the station house while everyone watched - a junkie Burke was particularly pissed at because he'd stolen Burke's duffel back filled with sex toys and kiddie porn. Burke, who had a history of using and abusing prostitutes himself, is now suspected by some of actually being the serial killer. Probably not, but he was always a nutcase cop and everyone knew it. I hate when people who are authorized to use force abuse it, it makes my blood boil.

France Outlaws Hydroxychloroquine As COVID-19 Treatment

“I’m not so sure it should be banned, but clearly the scientific data is really quite evident now about the lack of ethicity for it,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “…adverse events, particularly with regards to cardiovascular and the arrhythmia that might be associated with it.”

[James D.]

We do agree there are bad police. And good luck retaining the good police when you're calling then psych cases.

Police have tremendous power. And in the moment, regardless of right and wrong, regardless of the law, in an encounter with a cop if things get heated or go bad, your choices are to comply 100% (and hope the cop interprets your behavior that way), or to possibly get the crap beaten out of you, or get shot, or best case spend a night in jail and rack up some legal fees.

So, yeah, absolutely they ought to have yearly psych evaluations, and they ought to welcome it. Their power comes with a cost.

And if the vast majority of good cops did a better job of policing their own and weeding out the bad cops, or reining them in so that stuff like this incident in Minnesota, or the Dimond shooting, or other bad incidents, don't happen, then we wouldn't be having this conversation at all.

In other areas of life, in the private sector, the problem of nutcases or jerks who are in public-facing positions is self-correcting. Act like an a-hole to enough customers and people won't come to your store or business anymore, and either your boss will fire you or he'll go broke.

But in the public sector, citizens don't have any equivalent power to refuse to deal with bad cops, so either the good cops do it, or there will be ever more distrust and dislike and for police from the public, and ever more refusal to cooperate. And that isn't good for anyone.

These situations always represent mathematical certainties to me. They will always occur. Rarely, but they will occur.

Like football teams, a total boy scout force is not desired. You need, we need, some roughnecks in law enforcement, and we need some of them out on the street.

rg @ 9:57

That's really the question, isn't it? And it comes down to training and what overall approach we want from the police.

Given that there will be bad situations, and human error and misjudgments, which outcome should police be trained towards?

If police are not aggressive enough and there's a dangerous actor, the result is an injured or dead cop.

If police are too aggressive and there's an actor who's not actually dangerous, the result is an injured or dead (possibly innocent) citizen.

Which way do we want the errors to go? As the potentially innocent citizen, I know what my vote is on that.

Just a quick drop in here because I am swamped with work (which I guess is a blessing.)

Mrs -peter, who is not, unlike most of us here, meaning, she's not a news junkie, told me she saw a video of Biden pawing a bunch of girls. She said she was so sickened she couldn't watch the whole video. We've never discussed this. I view my wife as a kind of barometer of the real world--if this stuff is getting out into the mainstream, even though it is old hat to us, it is still explosive.

Came into work today--I work for a private company that is family owned. They are very successful, but a member of the family called me today, he is bi-polar and was being placed against his will into an institution; it is so sad. Never envy anyone. Everyone has problems, even the ones who own a bunch of houses and seemingly no troubles.
