Too many boards and presidents appear to believe that the value and legitimacy of their university resides in the brand when it, in fact, resides in knowledge and judgment, which in turn resides in the faculty and academic staff.

@bencamach0.bsky.social published his investigative piece about LAPD shooting at a crowd of party goers. After a long fight for the public records, he found out there was more to the story than what the LAPD told the public and internal investigators.

Now that LA has bankrupted itself for years due to LAPD pay raises + lawsuits, the parking cops have become ubiquitous.
Of course, this means high-density + high minority neighborhoods in the city are double taxed to pay for police that routinely violate their rights & freedom.
