Hardship and discomfort.....to whom?

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?

There is no date issued or date effective on here.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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?

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?

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.

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

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

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

Wait, what? NO. NEVER.

The word you're looking for is "rape."

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.

You can annotate in a photo caption, too.

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

Is this an instance where something is lost between the print and e versions of the book? There's no white space here for me to draw any curtains! Then again, I suppose I could just upload my drawing to this annotation. :) #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?

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.'

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".'

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.'

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).'
