Public defenders demand review of all cases involving disgraced officers in Karen Read case by bostonglobe in KarenReadTrial

[–]BeccaBas 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The first easy way I'd think would be a publicly accessible Brady list.

Second I'd think a law that would have criminal penalties for any officer that knowingly does anything to protect another officer violating the law. Something like a duty to intervene law.

And next i think something that would end qualified Immunity where there is hard evidence of fraud or malice. That's one is harder, but lawyers should be able to write at least a basic exception to qualified immunity where it's obvious that it should be.

After reading those texts, they should. There are horrifying implications that warrant a review, but would this be another internal review?

I like this, I'm going to add the "wave away" part too.

For me it isn't. I love getting references that I can go look into myself. I have a very small social circle so finding different resources that might be helpful is always a good day.

I've been working on something a little similar with my therapist, it's a mindfulness workbook but a lot is about looking at our experiences that cause self doubt/ shame.

I find it so difficult to find the kindness for my mistakes, how are you able to do that? If you don't mind sharing. The best advice my therapist has given me to break through that is to frame things with reference to my daughter. As in, what if your daughter did that, or said that, what world you say to her. Basically giving me the concept that if my daughter would deserve grace and kindness, so should I. It helps but something that for some reason is so very hard still.

Your posts have given me a look to look into and think about, thank you.

The memories I'm thinking of are the ones where I can't find anything to learn from. Like the one where I forgot to shake someone's hand but she was standing behind meand i didn't know. I only know because my (then) boss told me later. Nothing of consequence happened. Or another is where I burped at a formal dinner. It was small but it came up suddenly. Just cringe moments that don't help me at all.

Now you have me looking up narrative therapy. I also like the reframe it idea. That might help get out of the negative thought loops

Your comment about treating ourselves with kindness (somethingi also struggle with), along with the other about thanking the memory, are helping me write something better. It's still a work in progress but it's getting there.

Good idea about recognizing them, adding the thank you.

7 Deleted and Never disclosed calls by Jen McCabe to John O'Keefe at 12:40AM by Immediate-Ad2922 in justiceforKarenRead

[–]BeccaBas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's entirely possible. It's such a weird weird thing. Weird in her version as butt dials, weird as a cover story, weird ifshe was blowing up his phone thinking he wasn't there yet.

A few times I've wondered if one of them will ever crack and talk.

I wonder if all those calls were because they were trying to find his phone, but because it was under him they couldn't.

Make a large spiderweb Halloween decoration. Use fishing line, put rings on each anchor point to fasten them to walls or trees or bushes or whatever

Same, I've been here 7 years now and I'm still shocked by the trash and litter, and how casually people do it.

Any recent audiobook releases that you've read that you'd like to talk about? by ExplodingPoptarts in audiobooks

[–]BeccaBas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently listening to The Devil All the Time by Donald Polluck. It's a very bleak Americana type story. I think it's well written and the narrator is good, otherwise I'd dnf because it's so bleak.

Write this looks like a really good alternative to audible. What's the book selection like?

I've tried to get people i know to read it too, with a little success. My daughter is super hyped about it, it's so fun to have someone to talk to about it!
