Recently released city documents show at least a dozen Minneapolis police officers were disciplined for misconduct in the days of demonstrations and rioting following George Floyd’s May 2020 police killing.
No, it is important to release everything. You don’t want cases where disciplinary action that should be released gets changed to a category that doesn’t get released.
The problem is no one is monitoring this for every PD, so you won’t know if it’s all being released. They could just send out a ton of tardy slips and “sleeping on the job” reprimands and claim 99.999% compliance.
Focus on the important things not “all the things”.
No one is monitoring it because the information isn’t readily available.
There is a database out there for every public road bridge with a lot of information including the condition of each bridge. If such a database like that can exist, a database with all infractions can be made available and people can self sort the data.
That would be very easy to parse and filter for in modern data systems. We have services that handle trillions of data points daily. We can easily pull in all disciplinary info and parse out important ones for a few thousand entries/year.
Based on the amount of officers and days in the year, pulling in all data for all officers in the US would be a simple and inexpensive task in terms of computer power/expertise. Like, something you could logistically do with maybe 6 servers, not even a single server rack in a single data center.
If we are at a stage where people are mandated to report their disciplinary data, requiring it be in a consistent format is a pretty straightforward hurdle.
The difficulty of police cooperation for data reporting is already so insanely high and utterly opposed by police departments, the minuta of handling that data is a minor hurdle in comparison.
Ok we get it. You’re averse to police accountability. Just come right out and say it. I may not respect your opinion, but I’ll respect you for owning up to it.
I really really hope for your sake that you are a “confrontation bot” and not a real person arguing this, because if this isn’t a bot, then you spend your limited time on this earth in a… sad sad manner.
Anyway, everything you mention can all easily be automated. You’re not on reddit. We’re mostly tech people here. Your bullshit is transparent.
police officer’s every disciplinary event should be public knowledge. its just the price you pay to carry a human killing device your entire shift.
if you dont like that, you should not be a public servant.
Well that would just drown out the bad stuff. Most disciplinary actions are for minor reasons, like being late or missing paperwork.
You don’t want to wade through all that to get to important things.

Only if all that information is formatted the same. That’s not going to be the case. Who’s going to reformat it? Not you, I assume.

There’s a whole field in CS that deals with this kind of thing.
It’s not nearly as hard as you’re making out; I do it every day.
🤔
Are you saying CS isn’t hard? Yeah everyone knows regex is super easy.
Sanitizing and merging data sources isn’t some arcane art in which one needs decades of training to be proficient.
Like I said: I do it every day.
But go on and tell me how hard my job is; I’ll put it on my performance review.
Uh, it is hard. If it wasn’t they wouldn’t pay you for it.
Don’t sell yourself short.
Then I guess I don’t understand what point you’re arguing.
Because I guarantee someone would do the job if the data was available.

Or, I dunno. Don’t comment.

You’re a good rage farmer though.
Congratulations?
