Another stunning piece by @ericuman in @propublica -- this time on the utter failure of the NYPD's "Crisis Intervention Training" to stop officers from killing people in distress. https://www.propublica.org/article/it-wasnt-the-first-time-the-nypd-killed-someone-in-crisis-for-kawaski-trawick-it-only-took-112-seconds
The CIT training reminds me of the daylong "Community" training NYPD used to give with @TheRevAl, @RevDaughtry, @wyclef and others (including me). When the celebrities left, Wilbur Chapman fired up the crowd with a pro-cop screed. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/recruits-diversity-crash-article-1.221676
Chapman's speech was a masterclass in grievance where he repeated "Everybody Loves a Firefighter" constantly and derisively, drumming out any message that had been instilled all day. http://www.andrewcase.com/columns/2015/11/4/everybody-loves-a-firefighter
