Katey Rusch: The secret deals whitewashing the conduct of #California #police officers: Key takeaways from our investigation
"For decades, California police chiefs and sheriffs have lamented how difficult it is to fire officers and deputies who act with dishonesty or brutality, blaming powerful labor unions and robust employment protections.
What law enforcement leaders have not revealed, and what has remained a secret until now, is how they have repeatedly turned to an under-the-radar method of getting rid of problem officers — one that not only allows the officers to avoid accountability but, often, to quietly move on to other jobs where they are asked to protect the public."
I finally set up my own PeerTube instance at video.anaproy.nl/a/proycon/ and migrated all my tech & music videos there. I'm now free from the data-hungry monetizing clutches of YouTube. If you want, you can follow my videos at @proycon@video.anaproy.nl from anywhere in the fediverse (I post rarely though).

After some major cleanup, went ahead and posted the #pathfinder2e TUI character sheet online. It's still very rough, but figured it was better than just keeping it in my own private repo. #python #ttrpg #tui
