Grammy Family



In arts this President's Day: fully-electric "To Pimp a Butterfly" from Chicago GD-degree removed, Kendrick Lamar, stands tonight with 11 Grammy nominations. Kanye West claimed he will win 100 in his lifetime (Complex). Emanuel Administration-degree removed Chancelor Bennet (ChanceRaps.com) from 79th speculated about Grammy's commercial prerequisites... 

You said let’s do a good ass job with Chance 3
I heard you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy
Let’s make it so free and the bars so hard
that there ain't one gosh darn part you can’t tweet

No More Parties in LA

...before naming Jason Van Dyke during a singular delivery of Ultralight Beam on NBC. West subsequently indicted, broadly and by name (Zuckerberg, Page), San Francisco / Silicon Valley arts and media financing: 
All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists…source
20 Committee observed if he didn't exist, West would have to be invented (Twitter). Quite right. From my perspective the comment on SF art financing is "deeper than rap". It's a comment about American geo-political power. West locates precisely names Super Bowl City and Baghdad By the Bay: San Francisco.

Inextricable and Mutual Sadness

Measured by % of the overall population, black men in the US are most disproportionately victims of fatal police violence; black women are also disproportionately killed. Whereas police kill Hispanics "equitably", only non-Hispanic white and Asian men, and women, are killed less than their share of the general population. In Asians’ case, much much less. That inequitable pattern is amplified in California. In California, Asians make up 15% of the population and less than 4% of police killings, a proportionality gap 3x more favorable than the gap for non-Hispanic whites. By comparison, black Californians are 6.5% of the state population and 16% of police homicides: an inequality 38% worse than the already inequitable national benchmark. That data led to basic factual and analytical errors, including among high-profile California officials. Those errors also revealed the best and brightest's basic ignorance of #BlackLivesMatter most important messages. Take future CA gove

LEAP Nomination

I recommend Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) because they work on the root cause of the most pressing health, security, and civil rights subject in the United States: the war on drugs. Recent CDC data shows that heroin use now qualifies as an epidemic. The Center attributes the heroin boom to the prescription opioid boom of the last 20 years. The drug war approach disables the most vulnerable from finding help. Prohibition's emphasis on arrest yields an exceptional imbalance: the US has 5% of the world's people, but 25% of its prisoners. Incarceration does not rehabilitate offenders. Quite the opposite. Data clearly shows that the incarcerated are at higher risk for re-admission - and that their families, especially their children, experience higher risk for incarceration. That dynamic is a clear and present national security risk, including to California. Just this last weekend, in Chicago, more than 50 people were shot. For the second straight weekend.

Operation Anvil

Latest homicide map is linked here . Overall goal: explain why the Americas have such low rates of successfully prosecuted murder compared to EU and APAC . And why - as murder rates declining - are solved murder rates declining in the United States? For a quick summary of the state of homicide within the United States: http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2010/06/homicide-clearance-rates-on-decline.html http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2013/01/rates-of-unsolved-murder-by-state.html To start: where are the murders? Latest homicide map is linked here . Next, I want to map stories to these cities. Later, add more data sources (eg, unsolved murder data).
