The database — the first of its kind in the nation — will vastly expand public access to internal affairs records that disclose how law enforcement agencies throughout the state handle misconduct allegations as well as uses of police force that result in death or serious injury. The database, funded by the State of California, currently has records from nearly 12,000 cases, including thousands involving police shootings. Every record in the database was released by a law enforcement agency after being redacted in compliance with California’s public records laws. As a result, journalists and members of the public will now be able to search statewide for particular types of misconduct and use-of-force. Police chiefs will be able to use the data to aid in hiring decisions. Researchers will be able to identify trends and patterns.
Well well well, this should be interesting…
If Trump “wins” another election I can seriously see California secede.
If Trump is allowed to run again, there should be violent insurrection. If there isn’t, this country is lost.
We’re already lost. Trump is a symptom, not the disease
We couldn’t even GOTV to slow this process down, what makes you think we’ll do a revolution?
Canada would gladly welcome California.
More trouble than it’s worth; Canada welcomes the sovereign New California Republic as a close trading partner

Why wouldn’t they just be their own country?
This is just California AND what they’ve found to make public. Imagine all the shit they haven’t released yet and that is so for everywhere else.
Police chiefs will be able to use the data to aid in hiring decisions.
“This guy has only beaten up three minorities and has never even shot someone. Next.”
