Harass minorities? 100%.

The majority of police work is pretextual traffic stops which are almost exclusively targeted at minorities. Cities are giving 1/3-1/2 of their entire budgets to minority harassment squads.

That's more of a bonus effect and a means to an end, the real job is protecting capital.

2014 — Vladislav Doronin acquires Aman Resorts; Johan Eliasch becomes board chair.

January 2019 — Aspen City Council grants conditional approval for a luxury hotel as part of the Lift One corridor improvement project on the west side of Aspen Mountain. A citizen’s petition forces a referendum on the council’s vote.
March 6, 2019 — Following an emotionally charged and highly contentious campaign, the Aspen electorate approves the 81-room Gorsuch Haus by a margin of 26 votes. The approved development also includes a new chairlift, another lodge for fractionals, a ski museum, shops, and retail. The entire project is to amass approximately 320,000 square feet of commercial space.
June 2021 — Eliasch elected president of FIS with 65 votes, or 54.8% of the total. Is fifth president in FIS’s 97-year history, replacing outgoing Gian Franco Kasper. Eliasch had endorsement of British PM Boris Johnson.

The property sale includes the existing lower terminal for Lift 1A and the surrounding buildings as well as vacant land farther up the slope.
March 4, 2022 — Deed of sale recorded in Pitkin County shows Aspen City Holdings (ACH) buying Norway Island’s land for $76.25 million. According to public filings, ACH is an LLC created by OKO Group, which is controlled by Doronin.

Kesper North: Nov 3, 2011; EMERGENCY POWER TO PARTY

quote:

The largest school district in Texas announced its libraries will be eliminated and replaced with discipline centers in the new school year.

Houston independent school district announced earlier this summer that librarian and media-specialist positions in 28 schools will be eliminated as part of superintendent Mike Miles�s �new education system� initiative.

Teachers at these schools will soon have the option to send misbehaving students to these discipline centers, or �team centers�� designated areas where they will continue to learn remotely.

News of the library removals comes after the state announced it would be taking over the district, effective in the 2023-24 school year, due to poor academic performance. Miles was appointed by the the Texas Education Agency in June.

We have discipline problems.
Should we see why they are acting out?
No, separate, punish, and offer less resources.
Won't that make them act out more?
No, because we will punish them, suspend them, and involve law enforcement.
Isn't that ruining their lives?
No, because they are juvenile delinquents who don't deserve to learn. They are just going to prison anyway.
