WCCO 4 News - June 1, 2020. Minneapolis police rendered 44 people unconscious with neck restraints in five years. Since the beginning of 2015, officers from the Minneapolis Police Department have rendered people unconscious with neck restraints 44 times, according to an NBC News analysis of police records.

Minneapolis police rendered 44 people unconscious with neck restraints in five years

Several police experts said that number appears to be unusually high. Minneapolis police used neck restraints at least 237 times during that span, and in 16 percent of the incidents the suspects and other individuals lost consciousness, the department's use-of-force records show. A lack of publicly available use-of-force data from other departments makes it difficult to compare Minneapolis to other cities of the same or any size. Police define neck restraints as when an officer uses an arm or leg to compress someone's neck without directly pressuring the airway.

The "Beauty Bias" - Can You Hire Based on Looks?

Does beauty affect hiring and even promotions? Should it? There's quite a bit of controversy about what has been termed the "beauty bias," especially in light of a new and legally-questionable job website which allows employers to recruit "beautiful people" to hire. As this issue gets more traction, here's what the law says, what existing research says, and our conclusions about whether beauty and image should factor into your employment decisions. Can you hire based on looks? No federal legislation currently exists that specifically bans employers from making employment decisions based on criteria that includes physical attractiveness or personal appearance. Several non-job-related factors are protected by law, however, including race, age, gender, ethnicity, and disability.

Capuchin monkey fairness experiment. Affirmative Action. Affirmative action policies are those in which an institution or organization actively engages in efforts to improve opportunities for historically excluded groups in American society. Affirmative action policies often focus on employment and education. In institutions of higher education, affirmative action refers to admission policies that provide equal access to education for those groups that have been historically excluded or underrepresented, such as women and minorities.

Controversy surrounding the constitutionality of affirmative action programs has made the topic one of heated debate. Background on Affirmative Action Affirmative action is an outcome of the 1960's Civil Rights Movement, intended to provide equal opportunities for members of minority groups and women in education and employment. Affirmative action policies initially focused on improving opportunities for African Americans in employment and education. The Affirmative Action Debate Additional Resources.

The data is in: diversity is far more profitable than less diverse business models. Supposedly, the business case for diversity is weak. It’s mainly “wishful thinking.”

That’s what the Chicago-based Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession concluded in its 2011 report, “The Business Case for Diversity: Reality or Wishful Thinking.” The IILP’s review of data was so comprehensive, the study was widely accepted as definitive. There’s just one problem: the report never actually took a direct look at whether diversity is profitable. The IILP considered a number of factors: whether corporate law departments incentivize law firm diversity; whether corporations disengage from law firms that fail diversity standards; whether corporate clients ask about law firms’ performance in becoming diverse; and how many lawyers are told they received business as a result of their firm’s diversity.

Prejudice Is Hard-wired Into The Human Brain, Says ASU Study. TEMPE, Ariz. -- Contrary to what most people believe, the tendency to be prejudiced is a form of common sense, hard-wired into the human brain through evolution as an adaptive response to protect our prehistoric ancestors from danger. So suggests a new study published by Arizona State University researchers in the May issue of the "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology," which contends that, because human survival was based on group living, "outsiders" were viewed as -- and often were -- very real threats.
