Case in point: the chart itself denotes a new policy re: firearm discharges and discharge review board.

I suspect it’s a mix of lower firearm availability and departmental policies restricting stuff like shooting at vehicles, warning shots, etc. Crime doesn’t appear to be the main story given chart’s muted 80s-90s increase relative to 70s peak.

That means a lot, Mirya. Ty!

Quote beyond my wildest hopes 🙏🏽

I’ve trained BJJ 5 yrs. But anyone who’s trained for a month knows that you don’t crank a rear naked choke for SIX MINUTES unless you’re trying to kill someone. After more than 20-30 seconds (very generously), you’re just choking an unconscious person to death. Full stop.
