Expects Yuge Games
A former St. Louis police officer who attacked a Black undercover colleague he thought was a protester will serve more than four years behind bars.
Randy Hays, 34, pleaded guilty in 2019 to using excessive and unreasonable force during a September 2017 incident in which he and other White officers brutally beat and arrested Luther Hall, who was gathering information as protests erupted after a controversial court ruling.
A federal judge sentenced Hays during a court appearance Tuesday in which he expressed being “greatly sorry” for his actions, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported.
“I am a good person, but I made a mistake,” he said.
Hays is the first of three officers involved in the attack to be sentenced. Another fellow former officer, Bailey Colletta, is expected to be sentenced Thursday. The sentences come at time when activists are demanding more police accountability and a reexamination of police interactions with communities of color.
The attack left Hall with herniated discs, a rotator cuff tear and a hole above his lip that required sutures, according to court records. He also suffered a bruised tailbone, a concussion and other injuries as a result of the violence.
His undercover partner that night, who is White, was arrested but not beaten.
Officers involved in the attack were identified in a roll call the next day but remained on the force until the FBI obtained text messages exchanged between former officer Dustin Boone and Myers.
The text messages showed that the officers were excited to hurt protesters that day, with Boone texting that “it’s gonna be a lot of fun beating the hell out of these [expletives] once the sun goes down and nobody can tell us apart,” according to criminal court filings.

literally people alive today that dealt with this
Yeah those people would be pretty amazed at where things are at in that short amount of time
And absolutely mock people who describe voting bills that expand access as Jim Crow.

It was meant to raise a somewhat serious question.
This standard of falsifiability. I think it is a great standard for evaluating a scientific theory. NASA and various experimental scientists have done a lot of interesting work testing various predictions that come out of the theory of relativity. A good theory should generate predictions that in principle can be tested, making it falsifiable.
But is Critical Race Theory a scientific theory. I don't think so. It is more an organizing framework. As I understand it.
Some organizing frameworks are more useful than others obviously. But I don't think the ability to generate falsifiable predictions is the way to evaluate a framework.
And then there are things that fall between organizing framework and scientific theory. I think Freud's theories fall in this category. I don't think Freud's theories generate any falsifiable predictions. They are closer to an organizing framework.
CRT does share a weakness with Freud's theories. Which is a tendency to use introspection as a means of attaining knowledge. This is a very unreliable source of knowledge. To say the least. I think teaching about race should be as data driven as possible. This helps avoid the various pitfalls associated with introspection, while also allowing for the possibility of assessing progress or lack thereof. This is not to say there is no room for narrative-driven teaching about race. That is important too, but should be accompanied where possible by data.

I think that if your message is that
-doing A is racist
-not doing A is racist
-denying the message is racist
Then you don't have a message and are just noise. Unless you write books and give paid presentations on the message, in which case you are a grifter.
As for CRT, it has become a lens for studying and analyzing anything in order to arrive at the predetermined conclusion that if it isn't racist against whites, it's racist against blacks. Whoever can say whatever they want about the (still racist) origins at Harvard, that isn't what progressive activist teachers are eager to teach elementary school kids, it isn't what Kendi is writing about, it isn't what 57's favorite woman of color is defending on MSNBC.

That’s really my biggest issue with CRT. It’s able to insulate itself from criticism by labeling any counter-argument as coming from a worldview embedded in racism. You think we should value individual rights over the collective, strive for color blindness, and focus on equal opportunity (the foundations of liberal thought)? Well, those positions are invalidated by CRT, so where do we go from here? You either agree with the framework, or you’re a racist.
It’s way closer to religion than it is an actual theory, or even a useful framework. We’re all racists, we’ll always be racists, and the best we can do is a lifetime of reading the books and attending the lectures and consuming the content created by the leaders of the anti-racists.
I have to say, as a capitalist, I do have to respect what they’ve built…

We have seen that in this forum for the last 8 years. It was laid that way WELL before CRT was rolled out.

It wasn't designed for K-12, it started as a way of looking for racist state and local laws that are still on the books, mostly despite being preempted federally during the Civil Rights era. So when advocates of CRT deflect criticism by saying that's what it is, there's an element of truth in their claim.
The problem is that it was too useful a tool. Critical Theory, but with race?? A camera lens one can stick on any camera to take a picture showing racism?? A social progressive/grievance industry grifter's dream come true! So now it gets used to call math racist, any aspect of history racist, any literature racist, any language racist, etc.
