21:05 < noe> How did it go?
21:06 < Lulu> Yes Jason and I read that tonight.
21:06 < noe> (I like the article, although it felt that Joe only got
        about a sentence)
21:06 < Lulu> We met with Alex and other
21:06 < Lulu> other Jamie first
21:06 < Lulu> I can get back to that

21:08 < Kendra> Kendra Moyer, in Highland Park at the moment
21:08 < Lulu> Jamie gave Joe some debating advice
21:09 < Lulu> Joe went over his pet issues/talking points
21:09 < srevilak> Lulu: what's Alex's project?
21:09 < Lulu> We showed Joe how to work his blog so he can start blogging
        daily hopefully
21:10 < Lulu> Alex hopes to draft post ferguson legislation
21:10 < Lulu> he is working with several organizations
21:10 < noe> This all sounds awesome!
21:11 < srevilak> Lulu: thx for explaining
21:11 < Lulu> Today we met Jaime McFarlin
21:11 < srevilak> Who's she?
21:11 < Lulu>  a Harvard law student co-chair of the social justice
        cmmtee on the
21:12 < igel> lo
21:12 < Lulu> Black Law Students Assoc
21:12 < Lulu> ahoy
21:12 < igel> William Fleurant, Arlington
21:12 < Lulu> She an her co-writers plan
21:12 < Lulu> on having the first draft written by Dec 5
21:13 < Kendra> What is the gist of the legislation?
21:13 < Lulu> Today she briefed us on information she's put together
        about body camera implementation around various cities
21:13 < Lulu> So far it seems none of it has been done by legislation.
21:14 < Lulu> We also talked bout how to fund the cameras
21:14 < Lulu> Alex tells us that in NJ apprently
21:14 < noe> (so, social pressure is responsible for implementation?)
21:14 < Lulu> they take the revenues from DUI
21:14 < Kendra> Law enforcement unions have opposed it in some areas
21:15 < Lulu> and put an additional fee from that to the cost of body
        can operations
21:15 < Lulu> Jaimie M taouched on that point some
21:15 < Lulu> There are ways to sell the police
21:16 < Lulu> I aksed her for her notes and once she has consulted with
        the other members of her team...
21:16 < Lulu> she said she would send me what she could
21:16 < Lulu> She understands that I will be sharing all of this with
        y'all
21:16 < Lulu> So... busy day today.
21:17 < noe> Thank you for sharing!
21:17 < Lulu> Would you like to update us, noe?
21:17 < noe> Sure!  Propaganda has been printed and will be paid in
        full soon.
21:17 < Lulu> lol
21:18 < Kendra> Quick point.  Body cameras are not and adequate solution
        to racism and white supremacy. It a feel good band aid to a wider cultural
        problem and  it can be subcverted by your average devious police officer,
        as has been proven.
21:18 < Lulu> There is far more to this project...
21:18 < srevilak> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhb6kOHfNF8
