Raj isn’t positional is he? Nooooooo! He isn’t stereotyping the police either is he? Nooo!
I wonder what it will take to make him happy? He and the Murkey News are losing ground each time the police do the right thing to prove they’re innocent of whatever they accuse them of this week.
Hey! Raj just might end up unemployed if he doesn’t have the police to bash any more.
“The AXON project is unfortunately a positive thing right now because the level of distrust is so high,” said Raj Jayadev, director of the community organization Silicon Valley De-Bug. “But it doesn’t address the more fundamental problem: What stereotypes police may carry when they see people of color on the street and make assumptions about character.”
I’m saddened by the “there’s nothing wrong with SJPD Raj and the Merc are making all of this up” line of thinking. We have a real opportunity to improve the way police interact with communities of color we shouldn’t waste it demonizing a community activist and the local paper.
I would agree if it was that simple. To say that everyone stopped is innoncent, and to say that the cops are the only ones to blame is a “tired line of thinking” in and of its self. Everyone needs to work together to fix this and stop finger pointing. Raj included.
What would the day be without a letter to the editor from Santa Clara Plays Fair Treasurer, William F. Bailey. Bill is the kid in school who would not get to be on the baseball team withouth his parents buying all the equipment for the team. Isn’t a treasurer supposed to be focused on raising money? Well, SCPF coffers speak more of Bailey’s writing letters, and Donald Buchanan writing emails. (someone is usually dispatched to Donald’s to unlock him from the bathroom).
Bailey reprises his ancient frustration with the thorough stadium EIR, and the fact the 49ers are supporting the initiative group.
Well, Bailey, working with several people,has been active in San Franciso EIRs and stadium development (surprise, surprise), has figured out football games create noise and generate traffic. THE CIPHER HAS BEEN BROKEN!! Actually, the noise on Sundays, and the transit corridors that were planned years ago, will mitigste the impact.
Oh, there is an amusemant park nearby. Such noise!
As for funding, Santa Clara Plays Fair is supporting largely through the efforts of Brain Darby, a San Jose falconer. Falcons near neighborhoods? Have you seen, Skippy, lately?
Well, that’t the story behind the continued effort of Willy Van Der Bailey keeping his little fingers in the dike of Santa Clara Should he be twiddling those fingers so much? It is a emotional thing.
Amazing….. Guy gets shot dead in front of 100’s of people on 2nd and santa clara early this morning and the only thing I could find on it was tucked in some obscure crime section of the murky news……. boggles the mind….??

Police in San Jose are investigating a fatal shooting this morning, a dispatcher with the San Jose Police Department said.
Officers went to Second and Santa Clara streets at around 1:30 a.m. and found a 27-year-old man suffering gunshot wounds, the dispatcher said.
The victim was taken to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.
A suspect was taken into custody about 15 minutes after the shooting, the dispatcher said.
The homicide is still under investigation.
Eric: It happened again. When I first opened SJI, the first three articles were NUMMI gone for good, 9/3/09; Remembering the Kennedys, 9/2/09; and Grand Jury: Poor Play on Golf Course, 9/2/09.
Once I hit “Home” again, it returned to the current stuff.
Yes, the past was a lot nicer place than the present…and the future under Obama’s double-the-deficit-in-less than-a-year program makes our kids’ futures just one huge debt. Third World here we come!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! As Tiny Tim once said, “God Bless Us Everyone!”
Enjoy!

Intereseting how there is a murder outside a DOWNTOWN CLUB, yet this blog site or the Merk gives none to little coverage of it. C’mon man! What is the City Council doing to address this? What is the City Council going to do to improve safety downtown. What are the players of this site going to do, besides complain about or Monday morning quarterback the San Jose Police Department.
Seems like a Murder in front of hundereds of people is an issue that needs to be discussed.
sjdowntowner70-agreed, but there’s no news in talking about it because a small vocal group and the Merc have already made the Police to blame for EVERYTHING!
In case you’re interested. Most of the profit made goes to scholarships and educational events.

earnest Beginner,
That doesn’t surprise me one bit. The Merc is too busy beating up the Police again. Truly sad~
The Mercury News report Tab Taber, known as the guy who destroyed Wilcox, has his own chippy.
The fact that Taber wanted to organize the following film festival should be a coincidence:
LOLITA
GIGI
CALIGULA
Totally a coincidence.
Eric: It happened again. When I first opened SJI, the first three articles were NUMMI gone for good, 9/3/09; Remembering the Kennedys, 9/2/09; and Grand Jury: Poor Play on Golf Course, 9/2/09.

Que pasa?
I’ll talk to the tech team and see if I can find out.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Only JMO. He seems to live in the past.
Yes, the past was a lot nicer place than the present…and the future under Obama’s double-the-deficit-in-less than-a-year program makes our kids’ futures just one huge debt. Third World here we come!
Hi Eric, Merry Christmas. Yes, I’m having the same problem as JMO, along with not seeing the anti-spam word in the box at least 50% of the time.
Thanks for the info. Merry Christmas to you too.
I will keep you all posted.
now I am typing the catcha word exactly as it appears, and I get sent back—with my comment deleted-saying that I have not typed it correctly.
I apologize that this is taking so long to fix. We’re running with a holiday season skeleton crew and will attend to this as soon as possible.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! As Tiny Tim once said, “God Bless Us Everyone!”
Enjoy!
