The judge, Davenport, sounds like an insane person.
- taurath 5y agoNow watch as she gets re-elected as she knows how to pander to conservatives on AM Radio.
- rightbyte 5y agoYe. How does it work? Does she need to be reelected or is the chair for life?
- x86_64Ubuntu 5y agoApparently, she's elected to an 8-year term and makes a whopping $176,000 a year. I've been told that if you fail the bar 3 times as a lawyer, you kind of become untouchable in some respects. The judge failed the bar 4-times, and is still allowed destroy lives.
- TomK32 5y agoShe is up for re-election next year.
- pjc50 5y agoNo, she's just a racist. Motivated reasoning is an incredibly strong force. (It's very tempting to regard people we strongly disagree with as insane, but it's a mistake that both impairs dealing with actual mental illness compassionately and fighting them politically. She's perfectly rational and sane, she's just reasoning from a set of beliefs and emotional values that you find abhorrent)
- _hilro 5y agoWhilst the main story of the focus is the case involving black kids, the story also details the case of a white kid wronged by this person. If stats were available to show black children in general were targeted, the piece would have included them. Including 'Black children' in the title is unnecessary other than one of the arresting officers in this particular case wondered would this(arresting/cuffing at school over being an observer) happen in a white school. She's an idiot. She may also be a racist but the article doesn't provide any evidence for that. I wonder sometimes if people ever read past the headline and first paragraph.

- vegetablepotpie 5y agoWe are assuming the evidence exists, the article says the county and state have both discontinued reporting of juvenile detention statistics. Sure, the only evidence we have of racial targeting is anecdotal, but if we use a Bayesian approach, the fact that the party that is conducting the profiling shuts off the data that would disprove that notion, it gives us a very strong prior.
