unconscious bias is how we do with information overload. the human brain stores 11 billion items but we can only process so much at a time. unleashed outside the brain those shortcuts can lead to discrimination. some people suspect that unconscious bias played a role in the deaths of michael brown in ferguson, missouri and eric garner in new york. those are two of the recent cases of unarmed black men dying with encounters with white police officers and they have sparked responses to combat bias in law enforcement. but it's not just cops who play victim. in march, jake ward told us about a u.c. berkeley research. >> the research shows that, not deciding to shoot an unarmed white man sooner and more frequently than aa black man. >> the question is what can be done by unconscious bias? after all it's unconscious. google trained and hired managers to be more aware of the issue. but the work is still out, a new study at northwestern university is taking the idea of conquering unconscious bias one step further. the research shows that it is poss

the question is that does the drug render them unconscious. justice sotomayor: so, pain relief medication. justice scalia: what is the third point that you had. i was anxious to hear the third point. mr. wyrick: in response to justice kagan's question. justice scalia: yes, yes. mr. wyrick: i forget right now. justice kagan: the fact that this is a lethal dose again, completely consistent with the possibility of the potassium chloride causing grave pain. there is a fact that it will render and keep a patient unconscious with a needle. completely consistent with that not keeping a patient unconscious. with potassium chloride running through his body. and again, this statement that nobody can figure out about the feeling of the effects. mr. wyrick: the ceiling effect is what i want to focus on. what the district court said is whatever the feeling effect may be, what we are concern about the, is whether this will keep somebody unconscious and unaware of pain. when you talk about that phenomenon that is not anesthesia. what he was referring to is t

it will not induce coma like unconsciousness. mr. wyrick: several effects it would reduce unconsciousness. that is something that nobody agrees with. and induction of anesthesia is a commonly -- justice breyer: can i have the ask the same question. that is, as i read this record that you would remember what i say is a standard. you remember what i said of the district court findings that i believe that what this is about is whether that finding is clearly erroneous. why have or two sentences. the first sentence is from their expert. and he quote, when you could be unconscious, he means that this drug is an anti-anxiety drug like xanax and people use to go to sleep every night. it can render you unconscious. and not reacting to minor stimulus -- that is their expert. but, when major stimulus such as the introduction of the two drugs that we are talking about here come into play, you are jolted into consciousness and you are quite aware and you wake up. if we stop there, you would lose. right? we stop there. mr. wyrick: if any of that

agencies and methods for officers to uphold civil rights and justice and free of conscious and unconscious bias. i also want to say the context that we are in as we'll hear in the next hearing is the growth of prisons and industrial complex as some call it with critical resistance to all of us or none that are in the chambers as well. advocacy to create a society that really having law enforcement that is serving communities and to reduce the reliance on the prison industrial complex. if not to eliminate it. as we've seen from ferguson to san francisco and oakland to the alex nieto to the grant cases. the problems with racism and bias and policing is a national and social justice issue and san francisco is not exempt. on an individual level it's important that we'll hear today that we recognize that we all have biases of course and we need to consistently hold ourselves in check and call out these biases when they are kicking in and we need to constantly be developing skills to keep our biases from our actions and keep from reporting and monitoring and chekz and balances. on a systemic lev

by the next day, david was unconscious but still breathing. tried to get david to drink more, but that didn't work. that's why only stacy's fingerprints were on that glass. so stacy used the turkey baster to force more antifreeze into david's mouth. that's how david's dna was on the tip. once stacy realized she was about to be charged with david's murder and the murder of her first husband, michael, stacy came up with a plan to pin the murders on her daughter. stacy created the suicide note on the family computer using phonetic spellings to words she routinely mispronounced and typed the document at 2:30 in the afternoon when ashley was at school. later that night, stacy mixed sleeping pills and other drugs into ashley's drink and left her to die. if ashley's younger sister hadn't found her unconscious in bed the next day, and demanded her mother call 911, ashley would most likely be dead, too. >> she killed two husbands. then she tried to kill her own flesh and blood. there are no words that i'm familiar with in the english language that adeq

training we found to be a presentation of emerging research in newer science and it revealed how unconscious processes may affect thinking. members of the command staff who attended that training which was science base and data driven found to be enlightening and thought provoking. the chief wants where the head goes the body follows relative to biases and making sure they do not play a role on day-to-day situations they engage in. that training also was very expensive as presented. it would be definitely a hindrance to provide that. we are looking at issuing a request to proposals to tap into local resources in san francisco and the bay area of experts who are in the field of bringing awareness to implicit bias and incorporating that further into our training. lastly on the issue of data collection, the department has for years collected data relative to traffic stops, traffic enforcement stops. the budget that is before the entire board provides for technology that would allow for the capturing of realtime demographic data and actions taken by the officers byway of the smartphones that hav

we've had to take a hard look at our work as public defenders and ask how do unconscious biases, implicit biases affect the way in which we do our work. obviously prosecutors and judges are not immune. there are so many judgment points in the system where individuals, agencies and institutions make decisions on a daily basis. sometimes even hundreds a day where race bias does infect our decision making to the point that for most part we aren't aware of them. for most of us here, everyone doesn't wake up to race biases and people of color but you can look at the impact of what has happened in our city. it doesn't take much of a leap to reach a conclusion to see that something is very wrong. the initiative for 21st century policing in the united states was put forward by the white house. the attempt today will be to look at where we are in san francisco. i have been invited and plan to attend the first white house briefing on 21st century policing on july 1st and july 2nd. it will be a 1 day a briefing where they will be talking about these issues and important reforms. we'll be gathering a

it was this unconscious bias. that operated. you announced -- you now sit on a court that has three women on it area i sit on a court that has a majority of women on it including a woman is chief justice. do you think that the law would be much different if there were safe for five women on the u.s. bancorp? >> i think it's pretty good we have three now. three makes a big difference because they're all over the bench. i sit in the middle because of them around so long, and justice kagan is that my left just as some of the mayor at my right and then if you have come to watch the show at the court you know that my colleagues are not tripping back. they're very active in the questioning. at the end of the day, a wise old man and a wise old woman will reach the same judgment. and yet, there are some cases which i think with it come out the other way if they were five women. or more. another is carhart case, the poncho case. another, the two cases involving children whose parents were not married and they could become citizens at the

a replacement drug for the drug in its three-drug protocol that is usually used to make someone unconscious while the other two drugs are administered. oklahoma used medalazom as a substitute, and we saw reports how far the drug really didn't make someone-- make the death row inmate unconscious long enough for the other drugs to be administered. and in some cases, the execution lasted-- one execution 20 minutes, in others the inmate was seen to gasp, and in another, the inmate actually talked and said, "this isn't working." so a challenge has been brought to the use of that particular drug, and we will get a decision i believe on monday as to whether that-- use of that drug is cruel and unusual punishment under the 8th amendment to the institution. >> sreenivasan: looking back to the cases the high-profile case of the affordable care act and the gay marriage case, what was interesting is chief justice roberts in his votes, one direction in one case, another direction in the other case. he has become one of the more surprising justices. >> if we take away anything from this particular term i

but then the person did not stay unconscious. back and appeared to be writhing in pain and conscious of what was happening to them. all three of those screwed up executions last year all used this drug as the drug that was supposed to make the guy unconscious. now, this drug is not an anesthetic. it's supposed to relax you, call you down, in the same class as valium or xanax. the case the supreme court ruled on today, in the last day of its session, the case they ruled on today is whether or not it's constitutional to carry out a lethal injection execution specifically using that drug. and the five conservative justices on the court ruled that it is constitutional. it's okay. justice alito writing for the majority argued it is constitutional to use that drug to kill people in part because the prisoners who brought this lawsuit didn't suggest any better idea. got to do it somehow. from the ruling, quote, because it is settled that capital punishment is constitutional, it necessarily follows there must be a constitutional means of

what is left, what is harder to get at is unconscious bias. sometimes there is a technique to overcome unconscious bias. my example is the symphony. so they had the idea to drop a curtain so the people judging didn't know if it was a woman or man. and with that, almost overnight, women started to show up in symphony orchestras in numbers. i was telling this story last summer at the castleton festival and a young violinist said to me, you left one thing out. not only do we audition behind a curtain but we audition shoeless. that can't be duplicated in every area but it's hard to get at. my favorite case in that line was a title 7 case from the 1970's, the lawyer was my colleague at columbia, harriet grant. it was against at&t for not promoting women to middle management jobs. there were several criteria that women did at least as well up as men up until the last test and that was called the total person test. it consisted of an interviewer meeting the candidate, and then doing an evaluation. women flunked disproportionately at that stage. and w
