Gloria Oladipo at The Guardian:

Donald Trump’s second presidential administration shut down a national database that tracked misconduct by federal police, a resource that policing reform advocates hailed as essential to prevent officers with misconduct records from being able to move undetected between agencies. The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD), which stored police records documenting misconduct, is now unavailable, the Washington Post first reported. The US justice department also confirmed the database’s elimination in a statement issued online. “User agencies can no longer query or add data to the NLEAD,” the statement read. “The US Department of Justice is decommissioning the NLEAD in accordance with federal standards.”

A weblink that hosted the database is no longer active. The police misconduct database, the first of its kind, was not publicly available. Law enforcement agencies could use the NLEAD to check if an officer applying for a law enforcement position had committed misconduct, such as excessive force. Several experts celebrated the NLEAD when Joe Biden first created it by an executive order issued in 2023, the third year of his presidency. [...] But Trump has since rescinded Biden’s executive order as part of an ongoing effort to slash federal agencies down. Trump himself initially proposed the database after the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020, months before Biden defeated him in the presidential election that November.

Trump Administration shuts down the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD), a vital tool that knowns about police misconduct.

Right after Black History Month no less

I feel like there was too much going on this episode? Two serious storylines + two comic relief storylines (+ ads for Amazon Prime). And each of the serious storylines were interesting enough that they could've been developed a bit more in an ep of their own, alongside one of the lighter B plots

Evidence shows that better training doesn't lead to better officers. It is a persistent myth and narrative that prevents real, necessary reform when it comes to policing and public safety.

Sensible police reform. #BlackLivesMatter

Police are now arresting online teachers and musicians who made songs supporting the students protests. It's so absurd that no one has the freedom of speech to support what's right anymore.

Law enforcement is a dangerous job, however too many individual police officers feel free to assume the role of judge, jury and executioner. When a government official, acting in an official capacity, takes a life when neither themselves or others are directly threatened, whether planned or spontaneous, such action is an extra-judicial execution. Death Penalty Action opposes extra-judicial executions as a form of the death penalty, and it must stop. Extra-judicial executions, carried out in the hands of those sworn to protect, overwhelmingly target the black community and other people of color. Racism is systemic in the United States and pervasive throughout the criminal legal system. Racism is unmistakable in the capital punishment system, rooted in and inextricably linked to the United States’ history of slavery, lynching, and Jim Crow segregation. The undersigned are asking Congress today to enact national legislation that: Bans “chokeholds”

Ends no-knock warrants

Tracks and analyzes data involving law enforcement officer-involved shootings, including data on the race of law enforcement officers and those killed or injured in such shootings

Investigates law enforcement officers with a track record of abusive use of power, including those in corrections

Removes impediments to prosecuting law enforcement officers when there was no legitimate need for the use of lethal violence

No one should have to die because of the color of their skin or where they happen to travel, live, work and/or raise their families. We demand that Congress take action to ensure that these common sense measures are enacted on a national level so that our nation can move toward healing, and closer to the ideal of “Equal Justice Under Law.”

I haven't really decided what route I want to take lex Luthor in in my own au ( ruthless business man with charm and no morals, childhood friend turned enemy, man misguided into hatred due to his own cynical view of the world, really he's pretty versitile as a character) but for some reason I already have a scene in mind as the finale of a redemption arc.

After a several years of loses, prison time, billions in resources wasted and some introspection Lex has decided to have a try at reformation. For his upcoming Gala, which will take place on the 20th anniversary of Superman comming out to the world as an alien, he makes no secret of the fact he plans to give the man of steel a gift.

The night arrives, a large glass dome with a red veil draped over it sits atop a stage, awaiting the arrival of the guest of honour. Superman shows up, initially still distrusting of his old nemesis but willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Before the end of the night lex calls superman onstage to recieve his gift. He gives a speech, about how he used to have a lot of hatred for Superman, how it was misplaced and of his hope that this gift will be the first step in a new direction. a better one.

He pulls off the veil, and a strong green light fills the room.

But it's the wrong shade. It's mixed in with light blues and purples, and when he takes a closer look superman realises, it's a Kryptonian plant.

Earlier in his time as a villain, when experimenting with a potent piece of Kryptonite, lex found a sample of DNA from a Kryptonian plant, preserved relatively well in a crystalline green shell, which he found no immediate use in but stored just in case he did.

He holds his hand out for a shake, superman takes it, and then pulls him into a hug. Lex can feel him wipe off a tear from where he can't see it before he's go with a short thank you.

The rest of the night goes well
