    1. 3hardship or discomfort.

      Hardship and discomfort.....to whom?

    2. The City of Ypsilanti Police Department will provide the highest quality of personalized service to all who live, work, visit, learn and recreate in our City. We will be committed to enhancing our community’s safety and quality of life through continuous improvementin our work. The Department and its members believe in the dignity of all people, the sanctity of life and will respect the individual and constitutional rights of all people..03 Mission Statement:“Working together to provide professional service to the community. Always vigilant, always honorable.”

      This....doesn't say anything about law enforcement, which seems misleading. Is the work of YPD limited to enforcing the laws of the city of Ypsilanti? If not, how is the work of the PD scoped? What does it mean to enhance the community's safety and quality of life? Whose safety, and which quality of life?

    3. Date Issued: Effective Date:

      There is no date issued or date effective on here.

    1. We strive to provide the highest quality of personalized service to all who live, work, visit, learn and recreate in our City.  We will be committed to enhancing our community’s safety and quality of life through continuous improvement in our work.  The Department and its members believe in the dignity of all people, the sanctity of life and will respect the individual and constitutional rights of all people.  As an organization we have set high expectation for the effectiveness of our work and the behavior of our members.  Those expectations are non-negotiable and nothing less is acceptable.

      Is the rest of this paragraph part of the mission of YPD, or no? I can't tell. It's not in quotes, so I am not sure if it is part of what officers have actually been charged with, or if this is part of the PR message from the police chief at this time.

    2. “Working together to provide professional service to the community. Always vigilant, always honorable.”

      What does this even mean?? The mission statement does not articulate what the police department does--or where the scope of their work stops.

    3. The department has gone through several different versions of implicit bias training including “Fair and Impartial Policing” and “Human Terrain Mapping.”  These types of training are done in cycles to reinforce knowledge of tenured officers and to provide that training to newer officers.  The next cycle is due to start in June with “Police Ethics” training followed by “Fair and Impartial Policing” in July.  In addition, the Ypsilanti Police Department has committed to the “One Mind” pledge through the International Association of Chiefs of Police, which is a mental health program.  All members have been trained in Mental Health First Aid, 5 officers have been trained to the level of CIT (Crises Intervention Team) and 6 more are scheduled to be trained in the fall (delayed due to COVID19).

      OK, but truly none of these things are helpful if the primary charges in each case are to stop resistance, establish control, and effect arrest. If officers are allowed exceptions to use of force rules and de-escalation practices until they have accomplished those three things, injuries and deaths will continue to happen.

    4. Example: An officer is dispatched to an assault and upon arrival observes a person actively stabbing another person. The officer would not start at the bottom with verbal commands and then move onto empty handed controls etc.

      First, this is a misleading example. How frequently does an officer enter a scene and happen upon an assailant actively stabbing another person at the moment they arrive? How would they know, if the conflict is happening behind a closed door? And, even in that surely rare scenario of walking into a live stabbing, is it really the case that officers would not be required to shout "Stop, police, drop your weapon" before just opening fire? Even in this extremely dramatic edge case it seems like this should be required!

    5. Shooting from or at moving vehicles in prohibited except in the case of extreme emergency.

      What is the definition of "extreme emergency" in this case?

    6. Duty to Intervene: We absolutely have this requirement and the penalty for not taking action will result in swift and immediate disciplinary action including termination.

      This is not helpful if all YPD officers are held to the same standard of using the force required to effect an arrest and stopping resistance/establishing control before attempting to de-escalate a situation. Why would officers intervene if they're all on the same page that what's happening is permitted?

    7. What we do require is that officers use the least amount of force necessary to effect the arrest.

      Another way to state this is to say that officers are permitted to use as much force as is necessary to effect the arrest. This tells me that YPD prioritizes "effecting the arrest" above the safety and well-being of members of the community. This is how people who are fleeing get shot in the back and killed--that was the force "necessary" to "effect the arrest." When, how, and under what circumstances are YPD officers required to abandon an arrest in order to protect the safety and well-being of community members?

    8. We do require that officers de-escalate as soon as resistance stops and control has been established.

      Since YPD is not expected to de-escalate a tense situation until after they have stopped resistance and established control, and it is the attempt to stop resistance and establish control that leads to many cases of injury and death at the hands of officers, I must assume that YPD in fact prioritizes stopping resistance and establishing control above the well-being of members of the community.

    9. The safety and well-being of all of the members of our community is our highest priority.

      I will also look for evidence of this throughout this statement as well as in the YPD mission, values, and general orders.

    10. Although it is never the desired outcome, it is an unfortunate reality that the use of force is sometimes necessary.

      I would like to know how the YPD defines "necessary" in this context.

    11. The sanctity of life and the ideal of treating people with respect and dignity is at the center of our core values as an organization.

      Is it, though? I am going to look for evidence of this. If I find it, I will add it to this thread.

      Really? Why not? These days I read almost exclusively read long form fiction on my phone. The greatest affordance is that I can read it with one hand while holding a sleeping and/or crying baby in the other arm.

    1. Kato Kaelin

      I believe there is a small slice of the American population, falling between (or perhaps overlapping) Gen X and the Millennials--those of us who were in elementary school during the OJ Simpson trial-- for whom references to Kato mainly call up the movie Clueless, which we watched 9,0000 times in the basements of our American Homes. #pubclub

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' We would love to have a call about these-- perhaps a larger call w/ other partners, review these and see how they can be effectively integrated into an annotation tool like H. Is there a link to these?

    24. Support for layering annotations to versions of a document

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' ON '2014-08-13T20:24:49' 'The question is, where is the version history of the document, and how is it accessed. This is clearly an important capability, and one we've thought of often. So much depends on how the different pieces integrate-- which depends on those pieces.'

    28. Is the revised text a brand new document?

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' ON '2014-08-13T20:19:07' 'It depends first of all whether it is a new document. For instance, if a Wordpress page is simply updated, then it's not a different document. However, different documents (at distinct URLs) can be "related" to each other. This can happen a variety of ways. Most easily through the use of rel=canonical or rel=alternate microformats in the HTML. If the revised document is related to the original, then pre-existing annotations will attempt to reanchor themselves to the original. Differences in the selections of those annotations will "show differences".'

    29. Ability to label or categorize type of comment, and filter for those

    38. Ability to incorporate an annotation that is a suggested change into the text (effectively, a track changes function). Suggested anchoring to previous version.

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' ON '2014-08-13T20:19:46' 'This would require CMS integration-- and is a question of whether the platform enables it.'

    39. We can think about this directionally: It seems that the function of hypothes.is to build an increasingly dense and robust web of annotation and commentary *out* from a core text? But in the context of authoring/editing, the relationship seems much more contained and internally focused: a layer of annotation reflected back at the text, and vice versa. What are the implications of re-purposing hypothes.is in this way?

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' ON '2014-08-13T23:29:06' 'I don't see this as a repurposing so much as a use case of a combined set of capabilities that are core to our mission.'

    40. We feel this is a deeper and more complex issue than the question of fuzzy anchoring as a technical solution for annotating a portion of text that might change. To support annotation in the manuscript development/editorial process, the expectation and goal is for the entire document to evolve, perhaps radically. For the annotations to remain useful, Hypothes.is will need to entirely integrate with–or become!–some kind of version controlled authoring platform.

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' ON '2014-09-03T17:29:21' 'I think the handling of versions should be done by the underlying CMS, whether that's WP, github, gdocs, or whatever. We exist as a layer above that, but can interact with it if integrated. Not all CMSs handle versioning, and so therefore, an integrated experience may differ considerably based on the CMS or document store being used. We have notions eventually to support memento style queries for time stamped versions of a document-- and being able to go back to the version of a page at the point that an an annotation is created. I think the notion of "resolving" is potentially the right way to think about things. All annotations are always preserved (in the same way that all track changes in word are). There may be a few kinds of affordances that track changes gives you that a CMS+annotation approach do not, but this combination may allow a fair amount of functionality. Experiment and iterate.'

    41. How far can hypothes.is go (or how far does it want to go) in terms of cycling through versions and development of a manuscript? For example, in the editing process when the purpose of an annotation is to change the document, which then changes the annotations, and on and on.

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' ON '2014-08-13T20:12:04' 'I think a combination of fuzzy anchoring, versioning and resolution can be effective here. So, one a suggestion is made to a manuscript that is accepted, the suggestion should be "resolved", which removes it from default view (though should still be discoverable later).'

    42. WordPress integration

      Comment BY 'Dan Whaley' ON '2014-09-03T16:10:34' 'Do you mean in terms of having H. work on WP period, or in terms of having edit suggestions be able to be written back to WP and update the original source?'

    43. GitHub integration

    1. In a Literary Lab project on 18th-century novels, English students study a database of nearly 2,000 early books to tease out when “romances,” “tales” and “histories” first emerged as novels, and what the different terms signified.

      This may be a reference to the Eighteenth Century Collection Online-Text Creation Partnership (ECCO-TCP) project, which transcribed and marked up in XML ~2,200 eighteenth-century books from the Eighteenth Century Collections Online database (ECCO). The ECCO-TCP corpus is in the public domain and available for anyone to use: http://www.textcreationpartnership.org/tcp-ecco/
