From commentor Joey Maloney, early this morning:
The National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project is an invaluable resource for monitoring bad behavior among law enforcement officers nationwide. The site owner is having to give up the project due to real life, so heâs allowing his readership to vote on who should take over the site from a list of people and orgs that have expressed interest.
__
Unfortunately, one of those orgs is the CATO institute â you know, the one currently in the midst of a Koch brothers hostile takeover? And theyâre currently leading the poll.

If this is an area of interest for you, please go to http://www.injusticeeverywhere.com/?p=5316 and VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE. Personally, I favor Jesse Strauss, a journalist currently working for Al Jazeera English. His proposal seems the best thought out. So Iâd suggest voting for him, but really, ABC (Anyone But Cato). Voting closes 8am Pacific time Friday.
I do not follow this particular blog, but I’m sure some of you do, and I hope you can share your opinions about both NPMSRP and the candidates to take it over with the rest of us.
In any case, I’ve always found that “Anyone But CATO” is generally a good rule of thumb…
