Holy crap Dan Lyke / comment 0

Holy crap, the size of the Sunnyvale (square dance) Caller's workshop today. We walked in to what I expected, the regulars are getting pretty good, but by afternoon we had enough dancers to split the groups, and work with the newest callers separately. Square dancing might be a thing again.

Dearborn racial disparity in policing Dan Lyke / comment 0

Dearborn mayor Abdullah Hamoud cut racial disparities in traffic stops by changing what cops enforce (YouTube short video)

Told 'em to focus on moving violations, and... the video says that when he first came into office, nearly 50% of traffic violations were given to Black African American drivers. Dearborn is 3% Black, and day to day moving population is about 25% (and, yeah, we can talk a little bit about housing policy in that, huh?). After going after moving violations, tickets are down to 23-25% Black drivers.
