Contact Information

NRTI as we knew it is no more, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Technically, I'm still employed by the College, though am enjoying a paid hiatus, and working on everything I couldn't work on when I was spending 70 hours a week running the Program, like cleaning up from the tornado that hit, what, 7 years ago now? I'm also commissioned with a nearby county agency, actually answering to one of the more popular instructors, so I'm still trying to keep my hand in.

I'll continue to post information and news from grads and friends, and also want to keep current with LE news and references.

My College phone and e-mail are pretty much out of service, so I'll be setting up yet another account , so we can stay in touch.

Supreme Court to weigh police use of TASERs

Supreme Court to weigh police use of TASERs

"One could argue that the use of painful, permanently scarring weaponry on nonthreatening individuals, who were not trying to escape, should have been known to be excessive by any informed police officer," Appellate Judge Mary Schroeder noted, before cautioning that "there is no good case law" to clarify decision-making."

Um, actually there is, and it came from the same court that's going to rule on your (9th District, what more needs be said?) decision, it's called Graham v Connor.   Somebody needs to train your clerks on how to do real, live legal research.  Let alone real live research, reams of which don't support categorizing ECDs as "permanently scarring."
