DOJ investigated the Phoenix City police and found that it's not great at the whole policing part thing and frequently violates constitutional rights, especially on the houseless population in the city. full report: www.justice.gov/crt/media/13...
PhxPD uses excessive force, including unjustified deadly force and other types of force. PhxPD and the City unlawfully detain, cite, and arrest people experiencing homelessness and unlawfully dispose of their belongings. This is the first time the Department has found a pattern or practice of conduct that focuses on the rights of people experiencing homelessness. PhxPD discriminates against Black, Hispanic, and Native American people when enforcing the law. PhxPD violates the rights of people engaged in protected speech and expression. PhxPD and the City discriminate against people with behavioral health disabilities when dispatching calls for assistance and responding to people in crisis. The Department also described serious concerns about PhxPD’s treatment of children. Finally, the Department identified deficiencies in policy, training, supervision, and accountability that contribute to PhxPD and the City’s unlawful conduct.

via Semafor: Password reset: A hacker broke into CNN’s TikTok account last week, forcing the news organization to take the account down for several days. A network spokesperson told Semafor in the wake of the hack that CNN was “working with TikTok on the backend on additional cybersecurity measures” to ensure that the account will be safe during the presidential debate and other events.

Some administration officials, **many of whom went to elite schools**, struggle with Biden's demand to ditch wonky, acronym-filled language and brief him as if they were talking to a close family member who isn't in the D.C. bubble.
