You should never be in a room with police for more than an hour. If they read you your Miranda rights, you’re a suspect. Shut it down. Demand a lawyer. This is just some of the advice I got from a retired FBI Special Agent, and two renowned false confessions experts. /thread

When police are stuck in the same agency, they are more likely to adhere to the “blue wall of silence”—an unwritten code to never implicate another officer in wrongdoing. In “Good on Paper,” @JerusalemDemsas explores what’s keeping police locked in place: theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc…

Today from @brandonlgarrett, @AdamGershowitz, & Jennifer Teitcher: Alec Baldwin’s tossed trial is a wake-up call. How the Brady violation in Baldwin's case, where the prosecution withheld evidence from the defense, is indicative of a larger problem. thehill.com/opinion/judiciar…

Congratulations, Ben on assembling the police employment database. The potential research questions you identified should be of interest to anyone entertaining a hypothesis that holding officers accountable for future or current serious misconduct discourages recruitment.
📢New Paper📢 After the summer of 2020, news outlets widely reported that cops were quitting in droves and that George Floyd-related activism was a main cause. But we don’t know what really happened without national data. [1]

This paper looks so interesting. Apparently the “police officers are being driven out of the force due to George Floyd protests” narrative was greatly overstated.

Really important work and I’m looking forward to needing out on this dataset!
Replying to @BenGrunwald
Finally, using a synthetic control, I find no evidence that larger George-Floyd protests at the local level increased the number of local quits. [8]

Important paper that finds that--on average--the police protests had 2020 had little effect on police staffing levels, a 1% reduction.

Fascinating new paper. Appears to be another example of how criminal justice changes in a small number of large jurisdictions drives a national narrative that isn't representative of the country as a whole.

The labor crisis was a significant impediment to systemic change in policing after 2020, and we need better data to track the labor market in real time. IPED could be an answer. There’s lots more in the paper, so please check it out! [9] papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

I've learned a ton from @JameliaNMorgan, too. Her work has had a big impact on the way I think about (and teach) the fourth amendment and its relationship to disability. This attack on her work is just wrong.
