Highlights From The New Orleans Satchmo Festival
November 1, 2014 by Bill Ives
This summer I got to take in my first Satchmo Fest. It was a rewarding experience with great live music and useful seminars. I took in some of both. On Friday I was painting in Pirate's Alley (see Painting in Pirate's Alley #2 – Summer 2014) but managed to get away to see John Boutte do a fine set. John even played the trumpet.
On Saturday I went to several of the sessions starting with Gerald French and the Tuxedo Band followed by Kid Merv.
Next was Evan Christopher with Don Vappie and Kevin Lewis.
Walking to the event on Sunday I was escorted by a second line going down Esplanade. Nice start to the day.
The first group was Calvin Johnson. I saw him at Jazz fest where did excellent modern jazz. This time he delivered a strong trad jazz set with Kevin Lewis in respect to the event. He was followed by the Ella & Louis Tribute Band. Playing many numbers from a great CD, Ella & Louis, that I listen to frequently.
Then Kermit closed the fest for me. He had some talented guests including the trombone player shown with him. She is making the rounds of many NOLA bands these days. I will be sure to be at the Satchmo every year going forward.
As I walked away from the event the sky was turning red providng a nice end to a good day.
How About Eating Your Way Through Amsterdam?
September 26, 2014 by Bill Ives
Amsterdam offers a number of diverse cultural food options and we ate well here enjoying Dutch, Indonesian, Chinese, and Spanish meals. Over the summer, we found a nice café next to our B&B on Kerkstraat. First we had mushroom soup with brown bread, a ham and cheese pancake, and pork meatballs in a tomato sauce and then later came back for some nice tomato soup.
For dinner we had traditional Dutch in the neighborhood. We started with cheese coquettes, steak with mushrooms, fries, and small pancakes.
The next night we had Spanish tapas at Tapas Bar Catala located at Spuistraat 299. They included spinach and pine nuts, chrizo, and fried calamari.
When we returned in June we went to Chinatown for the first night. We ate at Nam Kee Chinatown located at Zeedijk 111 – 113 where we found one of the few places you sit out outside. We started with shrimp toast. Then we had very large oysters in with a hot sauce, garlic frog's legs, and Peking duck.
Lunch the next day was more Spanish tapas at La Oliva located at Egelantiersstraat 122-124 in the Jordaan. We had a mushroom tortilla and a squash soup with Serrano ham.
A light dinner canal side on the Singel included Dutch cheese coquettes, and a pancake.
The next night provided an Indonesian rice table at Kantjil on at Spuistraat 291-293. We had Nasi Poetih, Saté Babi, Saté Ikan, Daging Roedjak, Pepesan Oedang, Kredok, Sajoer Lodeh, Broccoli Tjampoer, s.g. Kentang, s.g. Telor, Seroendeng and Kroepoek.
A mid-day snack included the small sweet Dutch shrimp and some fried cod obtained from a street vendor in a small shop.
Our last meal was a very high-end treat at De Belhamel, located on the Brouwersgracht in Amsterdam, where this canal crosses the Herengracht. We had a canal side table. The place has many art nouveau details. It received the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand award annually since 2007, including this year. The meal included nice bread; sautéed prawn and scallop with puff pastry and a chive-shrimps beurre blanc; sliced sirloin with anise mushrooms, green and yellow zucchini, fondant potatoes and a Cognac-tarragon sauce, and poached haddock fillet and fried tranches of langouste tail with fennel puree and mustard dill sauce.
The Mystical & Oh So Beautiful Canals of Amsterdam

Looking at the Bike Culture of Amsterdam
September 17, 2014 by Bill Ives
I've always been amazed by how people in Amsterdam make such great use of bicycles. They use them to get around the city, whether it's for work or play. It's astonishing how much of a bike culture the city is. Have a look.

Eating Our Way Through Karlvolasi in Samos Greece
September 1, 2014 by Bill Ives
This post is about dining on the Greek island of Samos, where I have now been there three times for stays of a month or more. I started with Mytilini, the largest of the mountain towns and also where we stayed.
This post covers Karlovasi, the second largest town on the island. It has a working harbor and nice old section up on a hill over the new town, located on the northwest side of the island. The School of Sciences of University of the Aegean is located in the town. It was a flourishing tannery and tobacco manufacturing centre in the early 1900s. Many magnificent neoclassical mansions can be seen from that period as well as the remains of the large stone-built factories at the "Ormos" seaside.
Dionisos is an excellent restaurant in the middle of the new town at Plateia 8is Maiou, Below you can see some of their offerings. They include: fava bean spread, sautéed field greens, grilled cheese, cheese pies, goat in tomato sauce with fries, and chilled cherries for desert.
We also went to a fish market where you can order fish cooked to pick up in the afternoon. You see some of the selected and the two grilled fish we enjoyed for lunch.
There is a great restaurant just outside Karlovasi in a small hill town. It is called the aristocrat in Greek. Below you can see some of their offerings. They include a salad with lemon mustard dressing, pastry with honey, stuffed onions with tomato sauce and cheese, pork stew with fries, mousakka, and pork with green beans in a lemon mustard sauce.

Theatrical Trailer For Katie Aselton's BLACK ROCK
A trio of childhood friends reunite for a camping trip on a woodsy getaway off the coast of Maine. Sarah, the group's peacekeeper, tricks Abby and Lou into spending time together after a tricky romantic mishap drove a wedge between them. Bad blood appears to subside, but its relevance dissolves in the face of a much larger problem: when the group runs into a war veteran they know from high school, a nighttime hangout session turns sour and the women of Black Rock have to confront something far more dangerous-and heavily armed- than their feelings.
Aselton also stars along with Kate Bosworth and Lake Bell. Check the trailer below.

My summary line says it all. My wife has been reading and enjoying Agatha Christie's Miss Marple books. She decided to buy this video to see if it was similar to the books she has read. She liked this film. As for me, it was exactly what I expected it to be. A long, boring teleplay with non-stop talk and absolutely no action until a very brief flurry appeared near the end.
with all of the comments from those who think this is a great film. I found it extremely nerve wracking. With the exception of a couple of blessedly calm and quiet scenes, this film is one long mass confusion scene with an almost non-stop procession of marching bands, the entire population of a small town, pompous town officials and, Eddie Bracken, playing his usual stereotypical role as a put upon, confused, wimpy personna. The bit with the bands starting to play before they are supposed to is overdone to the point of nausea. And, throughout this film, I found myself giving thanks that Franklin Pangborn is no longer with us so that he can never again subject viewers to his annoying, over-the-top emoting. I could go on and on but, what's the point. By now, you get my drift.
As a rule I absolutely despise musicals. The idea that people are talking and then, suddenly, burst into song would be enough, in the real world, to send for the looney wagon. But I must admit that, whenever MFL is shown on TV, I usually click on to it several times during the showing to try and catch some of the great songs. I could not care less about the storyline or what becomes of any of the characters. Marni Nixon has always been a favorite of mine and she has a voice that is stronger and much more pleasant than that of Julie Andrews, who was rejected by the film's producers for the role of Liza. I also enjoy Stanley Holloway and I was certainly perplexed when I read that he was not the first choice to play Liza's dad in the film. With their typical thirst for "name recognition" type actors, the part was actually offered to James Cagney who, wisely, turned it down.
This very good Charlie Chan mystery was made at 20th Century Fox. At this time the series still had the backing of a major studio and so the production values, acting, script, camera work, etc. were of good quality. Later, when Fox dropped the series and it found a home at Monogram, the Chan films got pretty bad with the look of cheapness in abundance. But, this film had some very good actors, such as Ricardo Cortez, Robert Lowery, and the always funny Slim Summerville supporting Sidney Toler as Chan. There seemed to be just the right amount of comic relief to keep the story moving at a good pace. Later Chan entries would go overboard with comedy with Mantan Moreland and company trying to avert the viewers from realizing what lame plots and bad acting they were watching. Of course, as in all Chan mysteries, there is no shortage of suspects in the case of a murder that is committed on a thoroughly unlikeable woman who seemed to go out of her way to alienate everyone. With several characters having a motive to kill the woman, Chan must sort out the clues and unmask the killer while continually being harassed by an inept (but very funny) sheriff, portrayed by Summerville. Victor Sen-Yung, as number two son, helps out when it counts while enduring the usual number of affectionate insults from his detective father. All in all, this movie is great fun.
This film was, obviously, made during the era when communists were
considered to be the major threat to the security of the USA. If the viewer
watches the film strictly to indulge in approximately 85 minutes of escapism
it can provide some low key entertainment. The story moves pretty fast and
never bogs down with any over-emphasis on character development or plot.
I had never seen this film prior to my viewing it on Turner Classic Movies. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of Elliott Reed. I have seen him in several movies and, in all of the others, he portrays, basically, the same type of character, that is, a slightly officious mid level executive, a spurned suitor, etc. I really enjoyed seeing him, in this film, actually portray a romantic, leading man hero, type of character. Yes, this film is strictly fluff. But, it can provide enjoyment and, IMHO, is notable, for the casting of Mr. Reed as the "star".
If you're looking for good escapism in a comedy film, this one is for you. It's a very funny spoof of those 1980s Airport disaster films and it lampoons every possible cliche from that genre. Almost all of the actors do a great job with their characters. Deadpan Robert Stack is hilarious as the "no-nonsense" senior pilot who, via radio, talks down the troubled plane, being flown by Robert Hays. Lloyd Bridges is in command of the control center and I, personally, have never been as entertained by him as I was while watching this movie. Leslie Nielsen showed that he could play comedy as good as, or maybe better than, most actors. One down note for me: The character of Johnny, played by Stephen Stucker was, IMHO, not funny at all. In fact, he was extremely annoying as he acted like a real jerk throughout the story line. In real life, Stucker died in 1986 at the age of 37. Cause of death is listed as AIDS (Gee, what a surprise).
This movie is another one of those "tours de force" for Leon Erroll. He can, at times be a very funny man. Unfortunately, at other times, he is simply nerve wracking and annoying. IMHO it's split about 50-50 in this film. Erroll has promised his daughter and her fiancee that if the fiancee is able to save $1000, he will give them an additional $1000. But, for reasons that are never adequately explained and are rather far fetched, Erroll suddenly becomes cash poor and will not be able to come up with the additional $1000. Of course all of this leads to a series of deceptions and mix ups as Erroll frantically tries to obtain the money without having to tell his family of his financial situation. If you are a fan of Leon Erroll you will probably enjoy this picture. All others should be warned that there are several scenes that will test your' patience and your' nerves. BTW, the family maid and the next door neighbor are both extremely obnoxious and very grating characters.
This simple little film features Frank Morgan playing his typical flim-flam man role. Morgan was one of the best at portraying a bragging, self important grifter who was never at a loss for words when playing one of his con games. In this film he is a good hearted but under achieving father who desperately wants to provide a good life for his grown up daughter. He meets many obstacles along the way but also receives help from some old friends who, obviously, are very fond of him. One caution: Bonita Granville plays an obnoxious bratty young teen ager who never lets up throughout the entire film. Her performance caused me to almost bail out and change the channel on a couple of occasions. Her performance is pretty hard to take. But, all in all, if you have some spare time and wish to spend it watching a simple little "puff" piece, you may enjoy this film.
With all due respect to Leonard Maltin, I can see no way that this strange movie deserved a rating of 3.5 stars. It's simply, not that good. It appears to be two different stories contained in one movie. First, there is Boris Karloff, playing an aged, over-the-hill horror movie actor (how's that for type casting?)who decides to retire instead of fulfilling a personal appearance at a drive in movie theatre and doing a movie scripted by an aspiring young screenwriter. The second story concerns a real wacko gun freak who possesses an impressive arsenal of deadly weapons and, for reasons that are never explored in even the most superficial manner, starts killing people, mostly at random. When Karloff decides to make the personal appearance after all, the two stories come together in a manner that, while it is pretty exciting, is about as bogus as it can get.
A family which is on it's way to the poor house suddenly acquires wealth
because of a murder. The husband enters into an affair with a nefarious
woman who, naturally, proceeds to blackmail him. The attempt to cover-up
both the murder and the affair form the basis of this movie.
The story line is a most interesting one. But, this film was made way back in 1932 and, by today's standards, the production is very dated and old fashioned. Charles Laughton, while undeniably a great actor, goes a bit "over the top" at times. The actress who plays his wife constantly overacts in a style that was probably "de rigeur" in the early 1930s but, to say the least, is somewhat annoying in these modern times. I am usually against remakes but I think that I would like to see a modern version of this story. I believe that it would be a very impressive film.

Bela casa em pedra na zona rural espetacular Riviera Francesa. Espaçoso e charmoso. Sentado em 3 hectares de terra, com várias aldeias medieval situada nas imediações da propriedade. Piscina, quadra de tênis e aquecível grande trampolim. Por favor, pergunte para mais detalhes e conjunto completo de imagens.
Perfeito ambiente de férias da família.
Thank you so much for a great stay at the farmhouse, we couldn't have been more content!
We had an amazing family vacation with 15 people at the house, celebrating our grandmothers birthday for a week. We stayed in the house the most of the time as it was lots of activities we could do outside (such as tennis, the swimming pool, trampoline, etc). Everything was nice and clean when we arrived, and Mr Montana and his wife was easy to get in contact with both before and during our stay.
Thank you so much for our stay in France!
A beautiful, personal house. We where 15 people from the age of 12 to 76 who had our best holiday because of the house and the owners Edgar and Catherine. We travelled to Nice, Monaco, Vence, swimmed in the Mediterranean. We made our own pizza, pasta etc... in the kitchen, played tennis on the tennis court and swimmed in the pool. Edgar has painted the pictures in the house and you have to take a closer look at the african inspired paintings. Highly recommended!!!
Beaucoup d'espaces intérieurs, une maison fonctionnelle très bien équipée et tous les équipements pour de jeunes enfants;
le tennis et la piscine très agréables et de nombreux autres jeux pour les petits comme pour les grands
This destination villa is perfect for a large family holiday with ample, flexible, accommodation and equipment, sports and games to suit everyone and all in tip-top condition.
On arrival it was found to be immaculately clean and tidy and the mid-week clean was also well done. Although well away from Riviera crowds, Vence and its proximate seaside are easily accesible for all provisions and excursions but, once there, you won't want to leave it for long!
Thorooghly recommended.
Celebrating my wife's birthday , we invited family and firends to stay with us over a 3 weeks period. The house was clean, spacious and provided something for everyone. Even though there was quite a few of us, we could hang out in the sunroom together or if in need of some personal space, plenty of other areas to hang out.The pool temperature was warm enough to swim even on the cooler days. The tennis court is in excellent condition and Edgar and Catherine were always available to assist or provide advice on something. Would defintely highly recommend staying here.
The house, located at almost 1000 metres above sea level, was clean, well-maintained and perfectly prepared for our party of five: two adults and three chilren. The owner even prepared a large box with various toys - a real treasure chest for our children!
The customer service was very good. Regular email contact before our arrival, good routing instructions and travelling hints, and he solved the (very few) problems we encountered during our stay very quickly.
The property is children-frienly. There is a fence around the very large property, but as the area is located in a mountainous region, there are some larger steps in the garden to watch out if you have very small children. There is a good fence around the pool, and a pool alarm.
We wouldn't recommend the house for anybody who seeks restaurants or night-life around - because there is practically none. The house is located in beautiful nature, and a definite recommendation to anybody who loves the mountainous landscape, small roads, beautiful villages, nearly endless hiking possibilities in the mountains around... The nearest town is Vence, about 25 minutes to go there by car. You will need your car by the way - there is no public transport around at all! Regarding night-life: Nice is about 45 minutes away (more in times of heavy traffic).
We would visit the house again the future, and most likely will.

'A Romantic's Perspective'(.com) presents Selective Cinema
Movies on the big screen have grand potential to inspire one's emotions. Therefore it behooves Jacquée T., the voice behind "A Romantic's Perspective".com, to include Cinema as one of the five "Romantic's" categories. She is particular.
Writer's perspective
As an established and lifelong writer, she insists on believable characters, and on believable relationships among characters. "Especially relationships between love interests," she says. "I'm weary of relationships between leading ladies and fellows where they poke at, prod at, and pursue one another while I furl my brows at why they bother."
Yet when drawn into the characters as individuals I'm likely to care that they discover one another, she says. "Then I want to witness how."
Other things she craves from a writer's eye, is veracity to the setting -- be it in the past, present, future, or fantasy. "A good movie must be thorough and accurate about the setting, just as a good novel would be."
Romantic's perspective
Jacquée T. loves the art of cinema, the use of visuals, a realistic dialog, capturing characters' reactions at pivotal moments.
She loves use of the big screen for epic moments, be they historical, personal, action, futuristic or comical. "I love when the director uses the full screen as part of the storytelling canvas."
A Romantic's Perspective (.com) Cinema
Jacquée T. asserts her being a writer and romantic in selecting movies. After that, genre suggestions are carte blanche.
She suggests them under themes, like war movies, spooky movies or dance movies.
At times she features cinema history, like the "Movie Palaces" of 1920's, and the "DriveIn Theatre" era.
While Miss Thomas touts movies that use the big screen, her Romantic's Cinema suggestions are primarily rentals or for purchase. She is intent on recommending classics per select subjects. The movies are re-formatted for a home screen, yet give hints of their cinematic glory.
Overall A Romantic's Perspective.com Cinema is about loving cinema, and being particular when selecting movies.
Jacquée T. features suggestions over criticisms.
"I could pick away at why a particular movie meets my disapproval, but why bother folks time with it at all," she says. "A Romantic's Perspective(.com) Cinema is about movies I celebrate and recommend."
She offers movie suggestions without giving too much of the story away. "Movie trailers and descriptions on the back of DVDs or descriptions online go haywire into the story," she says. "They give too much away that's meant to unravel while folks view."
Romantics suggestions are designed to intrigue you to watch for yourself, she says, trusting the Cinema subject of choice and a brief description.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority
Two of my favorite rides in Walt Disney World, TTA and Space Mountain, will be closed for a good portion of the summer. While it will be unfortunate to miss them on our potential summer trip, I am glad these refurbishments are finally happening.
I just hope there actually is a refurbishment to the TTA, which could use something done to the many blank spaces throughout the attraction (even if it's only fake Tomorrowland advertisements--something along the lines of the current hairdresser ad). However, I'm concerned that the supposed refurbishment is only a liability closure (since it would be a liability to run guests through the Space Mountain construction zone).
Thanks for the comments and favorites, everyone! This picture made it to #244 in Explore for February 5, 2009!

The term system quarterback is said to have originated in the early 1990s when the Houston Cougars had a pair of college quarterbacks who had a lot of success at the college level, but could not translate that to the NFL.
That success for these two quarterbacks was because of what came to be called a "run-and-shoot" offense. This allowed for some big time passing numbers that had never been seen before.
When it comes to system quarterbacks, there are different systems that allow certain quarterbacks to excel by playing to their strengths.
Along with the run and shoot offense, there is also the "spread" offense that has come on more recently and the "option" offense, geared toward running quarterbacks.
With these three different offenses have come some system quarterbacks over the past two decades who have excelled on the collegiate level.
Here are 12 of the best.

The Inca were originally a small warlike tribe inhabiting the south highland region of the Cordillera Central in Peru In about 1100AD they began to move into the valley of Cuzco where for roughly the next 300 years they raided and imposed tribute on neighboring civilizations Until the middle of the 15th century the Inca undertook no major imperialistic expansion their farthest advance prior to this time was southward about 32 km about 20 mi from Cuzco in the reign of the sixth ruler Inca Roca The word Inca actually means king or prince in the Incas native language - Quechua The term Inca was actually a name applied by the Spanish to the Quechuan-speaking Native American people who established the Andean empire in South America now know as Peru shortly before the conquest of the New World by Europeans The name Inca also applies to each ruler of that empire and to all subject peoples of the Incan Empire At its peak in about the 1500s the Inca-controlled territory stretched more than 4000 km more than 2500 mi north to south From east to west it extended about 805 km about 500 mi and it encompassed an area roughly equal in size to the present-day Atlantic Coast states of the United States Scholars estimate that between 35 million to 16 million peoples of varying tribal backgrounds inhabited this immense region The Incas downfall occurred in the 1500s when the Spanish Conquistadors invaded Peru and the Incan civilization The Conquistadors were led by a man the famous explorer Francisco Pizarro Pizarro and his men came to Peru in 1524 and by 1531 had taken over all of the Incas land in the name of Spain The stronger more powerful Spanish army defeated the Incas and took their land their culture and their respect Because of the Spanish take over most of Peru speak Spanish and are Roman Catholics At the height of

I made it with lemon and limes. I tried it in a cocotini (recipe#228520). It's cute in it. And today I tried it in a glass of sangria. It's even better. Cause the taste of the lemon/lime mix perfectly with the juices and the wine. Thanks Lainey :) I'm going to do it all summer since I always have lemon and lime. Made for Holiday tag game
The sky really is the limit with this little idea.I used limes initially (for DH's vodka and tonic!).He just loved it.I've also got some with raspberries in,for throwing into Raspberry Fizz Cocktails. The children will also love these with various fruits in for cooling their summer drinks! Thanks Lainey!!
A great addition to punch! I used it in Recipe #148403 for the SuperBowl and it was a perfect addition. I also enjoyed it in some regular ice water. I am definitely going to keep this in mind for when I have lemons and limes to use up, as well. Thanks for sharing!

It's somewhat painful to see sincere people put in a great deal of effort to fix a very real problem and not blindly root for their success. It's not that I don't want them to be successful. I do. Really. It's just that they lack the experience to appreciate that theoretical solutions that fail to take reality into account are doomed to fail, and that all their effort and good intentions won't change reality.
Campaign Zero, the solutions wing of the Black Lives Matter movement (the real one, not the faux college microaggression movement seeking to usurp the serious problem of cops killing black guys with their hurt feelings over sandwich meats and mistaken word usage), is trying very hard to provide ways to fix the problem.
The effort is worthy of applause and appreciation. The problem needs to be fixed. No, it's not the only problem in need of a solution, and no, it's not the only harm to black lives, or white lives. And it's not even the problem that harms the most people. But it is still a terrible and inexcusable problem. And it needs to be fixed.
But will this fix it?
- Baltimore, Houston, St. Louis, and New York police departments do not make their use of force policies available online
- Many police departments redact significant portions of their use of force policies before making them public
- Only three of the seventeen police departments in our analysis require police to report every time they used force, including incidents where police point a firearm at civilians.
- Minneapolis, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Seattle police departments do not post police shootings data online. Other police departments, including Philadelphia and Houston, routinely refuse to release the names of people their officers kill.
Police use of force policies are the sort of stuff that seems very important, very real, to people who have never been in the trenches alongside someone who's enjoyed a good tuneup by a cop for having a big mouth. But they're crap. Nonsense. A bunch of words on paper that no one gives a flying shit about on the street. They're the sort of thing that people who love officialdom agonize over, while the people, the cops, who actually make decisions couldn't care less.
It's hard to fault Campaign Zero for taking use of force policies seriously. What else would they do? The unwritten rules of force can't be addressed because they're unwritten. The First Rule of Policing never appears in any official document. Like the marketing material pasted on the side of cop cars, the "protect and serve" puffery, or NYPD's CPR, "courtesy, professionalism, respect," it provides a basis for outsiders to point at and say, "see? see?!?"
But cops just laugh at these well-intended but clueless efforts, because nobody takes them seriously. On the street, it's one cop at a time, making one decision at a time, whether to be nice and respectful, or put a bullet in their head, or something in between.
Policies are words, aspirational words, constructed with the intention that street cops follow them to the extent that the vagaries of words have actual meaning. But there is no policy that can inform a cop when he should be sufficiently afraid that he shoots before taking a bullet or blade. There is no policy, nor will there ever be a policy, that will make a skittish cop die rather than take a life.
So is this going to change everything?
Police should have the skills and cultural competence to protect and serve our communities without killing people – just as police do in England, Germany, Japan and other developed countries. In 2014, police killed at least 253 unarmed people and 91 people who were stopped for mere traffic violations. The following policy solutions can restrict the police from using excessive force in everyday interactions with civilians.
They "could" restrict police from using excessive force, but they won't. It's not that your policy initiatives are bad or wrong, although many are already in place and don't do squat. Why? Because they're the official version of what cops are supposed to do, replete with the usual wiggle words that allow a cop to utter "but my life was threatened" and have his bosses reply, "well, then, that changes everything."
But more to the point, these are policies. You're not lawyers, so you can be forgiven for not understanding that policies are nothing more than internal employment rules by which employees are supposed to handle their job. The remedy for a violation of policy is employment discipline, maybe even getting fired.
But when the option is risk getting fired or risk getting killed, no cop on the street will ever let policy get in the way of his making it home for dinner. And, truth be told, as long as the other cops watching don't say anything, they won't stop a cop from smacking around some kid for "interfering with his command presence." Cops, you see, have a lot of experience coming up with jargon and excuses for doing whatever they please, whatever they've always done, whatever they want to do.
Hell, even when it's on video for all to see, they can usually squirm their way out of it with some fancy footwork and a few trite phrases.
Now if your efforts and good intentions were put to changing the law about how police conduct was excused after the fact, so that the dreaded "Monday-morning quarterbacking," oft-ridiculed but used for every other person in our society to determine whether their conduct violated the law, it might have some impact.
But even a seismic shift in the law comes after the fact, after there is a dead body lying in the street, a kid walking to school who gets tossed against a brownstone wall so the cops can check his book bag for weed or a gun.
This is a product of cop culture, the unwritten "policies" that really control how police behave on the mean streets, to real living people, and why harm happens despite the sweet words that police policies would seem to require. The greater the well-intended focus on matters like written policies, the less appreciation there is that you're obsessing over nonsense while the real reasons harm happens are ignored. It's got to stop, but changes in policy won't accomplish changes in how cops behave on the street.
The harm happens in the street, not in official meetings, and fighting over the language of policies won't save anyone's life. If saving lives is the point, then focus on the place where it's happening, and forget about tweaking the official public relations crap.
