  • More than a decade ago the city gave the OK to police to transport penetrating-trauma patients
  • If a "shots fired" call goes out over the radio, it's a good bet police will arrive on scene before EMS providers.
  • And with penetrating-trauma patients, where moments really do count, which option sounds better: waiting for an ambulance to arrive while the patient bleeds out, or cops loading the patient into the back of a squad car and transporting to the nearest trauma center themselves? There's evidence that supports the practice of police transport, and one need look no further than the city of Philadelphia.

  • July 20, 2012. Twenty-three trauma patients were transported to the University of Colorado Hospital Emergency Department that day--12 by police, eight by personal motor vehicle and three by EMS. Within 45 minutes of the shootings, nine police cars and one ambulance arrived at the emergency department (ED) with victims. Police transport clearly made a difference.

  • American and NATO officials say the fledgling army and police aren’t ready to wage a sustained war against a determined insurgency.
  • Coming just 13 months before most foreign forces are to withdraw, the mixed results reported by U.S. military officials underline the unresolved question of whether some of those forces should stay.

  • he assessment adds urgency to the need for the U.S. and Afghanistan to sign a much-delayed security agreement that will allow a residual foreign force to stay on after the Dec. 31, 2014, withdrawal deadline.
  • NATO allies would provide about 5,000 troops, but only if an American presence remains. Billions of dollars in funds for Afghan forces and development also would be jeopardized if no deal is reached.

SIRS: The Deportation Machine: Annals of Immigration - 0 views

  • You get arrested. The authorities run a background check. They need to know if you have outstanding warrants or unpaid tickets, if you jumped bail somewhere, if you're driving a stolen vehicle. To obtain your criminal history, they routinely send your fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which keeps a database of more than a hundred million prints. The F.B.I., under a federal program known as Secure Communities, will share your fingerprints with the Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security's core job--the reason it was created--is to prevent terrorist attacks on the United States. Your prints might reveal that you're a suspected terrorist. D.H.S. is also charged with border security. Its Immigration and Customs Enforcement arm, ICE, will run your prints through the D.H.S. database--specifically, its U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (U.S.-VISIT) and Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT), which also contain more than a hundred million prints--searching for a match with people wanted for immigration violations. If a match occurs, ICE can issue a "detainer." Now the local authorities, before they release you, may notify ICE, which may elect to transfer you to federal custody in order to begin deportation proceedings.

  • Alien. These incorrect entries flagged Lyttle for ICE's Criminal Alien Program. His fingerprints, however, would presumably establish his U.S. citizenship--his criminal history, as kept by the F.B.I., shows his citizenship numerous times. That is one of the beauties of biometrics: its deployment can trump racial profiling.
