  • Group 1 Building Trust and Legitimacy
    TULSA COMMISSION ON COMMUNITY POLICING Group 1 Building Trust and Legitimacy As stated in the Department of Justice’s Final Report of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century ​ Policing, “Building Trust & Legitimacy” is the first pillar in the philosophy of Community Policing. ​ Integrating officers into the daily lives of Tulsa citizens and providing transparency through accurate and timely communication of information create the kind of accountability that TPD and the Tulsa public need ​ ​ for this trust to grow. Tulsa has its particular history to contend with in addition to recent national headlines involving the Tulsa Police Department. It is imperative that TPD and the City of Tulsa continue to evolve and improve their interaction and communication with the citizenry to overcome these obstacles and nurture a culture in which officers and citizens are both treated with respect. After reviewing the Actions & Recommendations in the Report, Group 1 came up with the following list to instill Trust and Legitimacy between TPD and the Tulsa Community it serves. Some of the items in the Report had overlap or were redundant, so we distilled our plan into the following nine items for TPD and COT. 1. TPD is guided by a guardian philosophy in its policing, consistent with the Final Report of the Task Force on 21st Century Policing recommendation. Group 1 discussed some of the things that TPD is doing right, and that the Guardian Police Officer should be seen as having the best intentions for citizens. Some ways that TPD can continue to add to this Guardian Culture are: ● Creating More Safe & Secure Environments Throughout Tulsa ● Providing Further Transparency ● Creating Novel Ways to Engage the Community ● Working Harder on Procedural Justice Principles In Training & In Practice ● Wearing Body Cameras “In a republic that honors the core of democracy — the greatest amount of power is given to those called Guardians.

  • Dangerous Ambiguities: Regulation of Incapacitants and Riot Control Agents Under the Chemical Weapons Convention, OPCW Open Foru
    Dangerous Ambiguities: Regulation of incapacitants and riot control agents under the Chemical Weapons Convention OPCW Open Forum Meeting, 2nd December 2009 Michael Crowley Project coordinator Bradford Nonlethal Weapon Research Project Chemical Weapons Convention • The Chemical Weapons Convention has proven to be an important defence against the horrors of chemical warfare, vitally important for protecting both military personnel and civilians alike. • Its core obligations are powerfully set out under Article 1, namely that States will never under any circumstances develop, stockpile, transfer or use chemical weapons. • However, certain ambiguities and limitations in the CWC control regime exist regarding regulation of riot control agents (RCAs) and incapacitants. If not addressed, they could endanger the stability of the Convention. Chemical Weapons Convention • Article 1: • Each State Party to this Convention undertakes never under any circumstances: •(a) To develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile or retain chemical weapons, or transfer, directly or indirectly, chemical weapons to anyone; •(b) To use chemical weapons; • (c) To engage in any military preparations to use chemical weapons; •(d) To assist, encourage or induce, in any way, anyone to engage in any activity prohibited to a State Party under this Convention. [Emphasis added]. CWC: Scope of coverage • The CWC is comprehensive in the toxic chemicals it regulates. • The definition of “toxic chemicals” under Article 2.2 includes chemicals that cause “temporary incapacitation”. • Under the Convention, the use of such “toxic chemicals” would be forbidden unless employed for “purposes not prohibited” and as long as the “types and quantities” are consistent with such purposes. • Among the “purposes not prohibited” is: “law enforcement including domestic riot control”.

The rioting resulted in millions of dollars of property damage and injuries to citizens. In addition, more than 200 police officers from the region who responded to assist in the defense of life and property were injured — several severely. Both during and after the riots, Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge #3 received many reports from members who were deployed to the defensive efforts, stating that they lacked basic riot equipment, training, and, as events unfolded, direction from leadership. The officers repeatedly expressed concern that the passive response to the civil unrest had allowed the disorder to grow into full scale rioting. Recommendation 1.3 of The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing states “law enforcement agencies should establish a culture of transparency and accountability in order to build public trust and legitimacy.

    26 From Territorial Peace to Territorial Pacification: Anti-Riot Police Powers and Socio-Environmental Dissent in the Implementation of Colombia’s Peace Agreement1* María Carolina Olarte-Olarte** Received date: March 18, 2018 · Acceptance date: July 5, 2018 · Modification date: November 9, 2018 https://doi.org/10.7440/res67.2019.03 How to cite: Olarte-Olarte, María Carolina. 2019. “From Territorial Peace to Territorial Pacification: Anti-Riot Police Powers and Socio-Environmental Dissent in the Implementation of Colombia’s Peace Agreement”. Revista de Estudios Sociales 67: 26-39. https://doi.org/10.7440/res67.2019.03 ABSTRACT | During the negotiation and implementation of the Havana Peace Agreements in Colombia, a twofold mechanism used to deal with the increasing number of socio-environmental conflicts has remained constant: the strengthening of the anti-riot police forces and certain institutional spatial assumptions underlying the promotion of a particular form of postconflict productivity. This article attempts to undertake a preliminary analysis of the relationship between, one the one hand, the enactment and threat of police power in socio-environmental protests and, on the other, the enforcement and reproduction of a sense of the territory as an object whose elements can be neatly fragmented. In contrast, socio-environmental processes put forward a deeply relational, fluid and interdependent sense of their territories. Increased police intervention in these processes, we will argue, are not only framing socio-environmental conflicts

  • American Pogrom: the East St. Louis Race Riot and Black Politics
    Lumpkins.1-108 6/13/08 4:35 PM Page 1 Introduction ON JULY and , , rampaging white men and women looted and torched black homes and businesses and assaulted African Americans in the small industrial city of East St. Louis, Illinois. The mob, which included police officers and National Guardsmen, wounded or killed many black residents and terrorized others into fleeing the city. The rampagers acted upon a virulent form of racism that made “black skin . a death warrant,” in the words of white newspaper reporter Jack Lait of the St. Louis Repub- lic. According to one African American eyewitness, “When there was a big fire, the rioters . stop[ped] to amuse themselves, and [threw black] children . into the fire.” The riots disrupted interstate commerce and in- dustrial production, prompting Illinois authorities to mobilize additional National Guard units to suppress the mass violence. When the terror ended, white attackers had destroyed property worth three million dollars, razed several neighborhoods, injured hundreds, and forced at least seven thousand black townspeople to seek refuge across the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri. By the official account, nine white men and thirty- nine black men, women, and children lost their lives. Some thought that Introduction p 1 Lumpkins.1-108 6/13/08 4:35 PM Page 2 more white than black people had been killed. And others said that more than nine white people and many more—perhaps up to five hundred— black citizens had perished.1 Scholars generally think of East St. Louis, Illinois, as the site of the first of the major World War I–era urban race riots.

  • Forms of Collective and State Violence in South Asia
    Forms of Collective and State Violence in South Asia Paul R. Brass Introduction Virtually all forms of collective and state violence have been endemic in most of the states in South and Southeast Asia for a long time. India alone, the largest state in the entire region, has experienced a very considerable range of such forms, from riots, pogroms, police killings and massacres to retributive genocide; insurrectionary movements based on tribal, ethnic, religious, and regional identities; agrarian-based class warfare (in which the Maoist and other militant groups are termed “Naxalite” by the authorities and most commentators); and state violence, including state terrorism to counter several of the above forms. Most of these distinct forms of violence are regionally or locally confined: tribal movements particularly in the northeast, insurrectionary movements in Punjab (in the recent past) and Kashmir, Naxalite violence in pockets in Bihar and Andhra, and violence labelled Hindu-Muslim in the northern and western parts of the country. The focus of my research on collective violence in India during the past twenty years has been primarily on the latter, though I have also done work on retributive genocide in the Punjab at the time of Partition in 1947 and on insurrectionary movements in Punjab in the 1980s and early 1990s. My principal publications that set forth the arguments to be summarized and elaborated further below, as well as the some of the ethnographic and statistical data to support them, are Riots and Pogroms (1996), Theft of an Idol (1997), The Production of Hindu-Muslim Violence in Paul R.
