Non-ironically this sort of factor is an underappreciated vector for policing reform, because cross-departmental onmbudsmen willing to intervene against a sworn officer without someone dying are very rare in the U.S. legal/political system. Quoting @willchamberlain On the latest Counterweight, Rahul Sidhu (@rahul), Flock’s chief strategy officer, explains that police database abuse is not a new problem. Bad cops have been running plates for friends for decades. What's new is that Flock created auditing software that is catching them. America Related

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
