Once again rogue police officers kill innocent black men. Marla Goldberg and I have a few things to say about that, including spotlighting that Northampton is the first community in Masachusetts to respond to a call by President Barack Obama for police departments nationwide to take part in the Police Data Initiative, “ a community of practice that includes leading law enforcement agencies, technologists, and researchers committed to improving the relationship between citizens and police through uses of data that increase transparency, build community trust, and strengthen accountability.” In Police Chief Jody Kasper’s own words, who invited me to be on the Open Data Team: “ We are the first in the state to sign on and only the 55th in the country. Joining this program means that we will be working toward opening up data and information to members of the public for their review. Even before joining the PDI our department has been working to release data. We currently post all of our policies and procedures, employee demographics, driver demographics, and many others.” Information is power, and power will dismantle institutional racism, sexism — all the isms and phobias.And filmmaker Lawrence Hott talks about teaching historical documentary production at the Maine Media Workshops in Rockport, Maine. Beautiful place to learn a thing or two about mass communications! Here’s the link: www.mainemedia.edu.
