RE #CodeBlue & calling 311 for homeless people out in the cold: you absolutely should not do that without the express consent of the person.
The teams that respond work with NYPD. You are calling police, just ask first. Hypothermia can injure or kill people, so can police.

New York City 311Verified account @nyc311Replying to @latesummerteaThank you for bringing this to our attention. Due to extreme cold weather, Code Blue procedures are in effect until 8 AM. Call 911 to request assistance for a homeless person. Please see this link for further clarity http://on.nyc.gov/2ezQekp1 reply 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -
It's not always a friendly outreach team. In extreme cold 311 callers are reporting being routed to 911 automatically, which means a random cop car.

Here's your inconvenient weekly reminder that not one cop has been trained in implicit bias since Eric Garner was brutally murdered on camera in 2014.https://twitter.com/Newsweek/status/946835739819552769 …

Fyi: implicit bias training is inconclusive in actually addressing and reducing racial bias. But that notwithstanding, the NYPD and DeBlasio have not even made an effort even if it doesn't work. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25314368

Exactly. This training is the most basic middle of the road "just to say we did" response. Some effort to mitigate the harm. Instead the killer cop got a raise and his colleagues are still out criminalizing our neighbors every day.

They wanna keep the bar for accountability as low as possible while boasting about how crime is down. The most conservative response - doubling down on bad policy over and over to save face.
