“We” must have been living in the world wearing rose colored glasses then cause anyone who was actually paying attention knew what was coming.

NEW 🚨

In January 2023, LAPD killed three people suffering mental health crises.

In response, our Office assessed the LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit (MEU) & found that LAPD requires a patrol-first, armed response in mental health calls for service.

Full report:

On the Sideline: Assessing LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit and SMART Co-response Model. Read the report: bit.ly/lapdmeu

NEW ASSESSMENT: LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit

We found that LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit (MEU) fails to prioritize mental health treatment & de-escalation.

Instead, it prioritizes:
- Relieving patrol units
- Putting people in forced 72-hour detention

Read the report: bit.ly/lapdmeu

Quote by Controller Mejia: “Currently, the primary response that exists for mental health emergencies is the LAPD’s Mental Evaluation Unit’s SMART teams. MEU’s own stated mission is to prevent unnecessary incarceration and hospitalization and reduce violence – however, my Office’s assessment of LAPD MEU found that LAPD does little to prove MEU or SMART accomplish any of this.

Musing on Blues Muse Philly - April the Dreamer

Reflecting on the blues dance scene at Blues Muse in Philadelphia, I sought cultural connection but found a surprising lack of diversity.

It really sucks! It does none of us any good to let the racism slide, no matter how subtle or how micro it may be. The easy thing to do would be for all the good people who just want to LIVE to flee to some other country and let the crazy racists have it, but it’s not feasible. So we do what we must
