    Read this thread. Then ponder the fact that I was also quoted in the same article, but I did not receive a single comment. 🧐

    What would it take to grow enough coral to slow the decline of a degraded reef or bring one back more quickly? How would you do it? I wrote about David Vaughan’s attempts to find out for

    Full-time nurses are still badly underpaid, but so many are burning out that hospitals will pay 3x more for fill-in help. "Now when she loses someone, she counts to 10 and allows herself to feel all her emotions. Then she takes a breath and does her best to put them aside."

    Important 🧵about , a for-profit company that writes policies for 3500+ police departments across the US. They’ve repeatedly rejected evidence-based limits on force in favor of maximizing officer discretion. So glad & others are digging in and sounding the alarm.

    As usual, lots of people who did not end up in the piece generously shared their time and insight Many thanks, too, to for giving this issue so much space, to for the edit, to Kevin McDonnell for facthchecking, and to Hearst's cracak legal team. 17/17

    But I think it’s fair to ask a related question: if there was really nothing wrong with the way things went down, then why is there a settlement at all? Having policies w/o hard & fast rules is one way cities make it hard to untangle that knot. 16/17

    So, to bring it back to my initial question: how is it that cities pay out large settlements over shootings when there’s no finding of wrongdoing against the officer? On one level, it’s hard to say: one point of a settlement is that you don't have to hash all that out. 15/17

    In addition to , it turns out Bruce Praet still defends departments in use of force cases—even in cities that rely on policies originally written by Bruce Praet. The lawyer for Ceres, CA after an officer there killed two young men in less than a year? Bruce Praet. 14/17

    I also wanted to learn more about the worldview of the people behind Lexipol. Bruce Praet is a cop’s cop. A couple details that didn’t make it into the piece: 11/17

    As I say in the piece, Lexipol’s direct sales are to police departments, but in a way, we are all Lexipol customers. Shouldn’t there be a more robust public process for deciding what police can and can’t do on the job? 10/17

    As Lexipol’s co-founder, Bruce Praet, has said, “Here at Lexipol, our policies mirror the law”—meaning, if an officer couldn't be tried + convicted in a use of force case, he’s unlikely to be found in violation of the company’s policies. Case in point: , CA: 9/17
