Ok so there’s a conspiracy theory going around that this woman was faking her injury with an onion.
This is likely false. Onions are a folk remedy for pepper spray.
Wait, so Elizabeth from Knoxville, who claims she was maced after storming the Capitol, was dabbing her eyes with an onion towel? pic.twitter.com/99UvDcS0Rj

My students @maxzks and Tushar Jois spent most of the summer going through every piece of public documentation, forensics report, and legal document we could find to figure out how police were “breaking phone encryption”. 1/
This was prompted by a claim from someone knowledgeable, who claimed that forensics companies no longer had the ability to break the Apple Secure Enclave Processor, which would make it very hard to crack the password of a locked, recent iPhone. 2/
We wrote an enormous report about what we found, which we’ll release after the holidays. The TL;DR is kind of depressing:
Authorities don’t need to break phone encryption in most cases, because modern phone encryption sort of sucks. 3/
I’ll focus on Apple here but Android is very similar. The top-level is that, to break encryption on an Apple phone you need to get the encryption keys. Since these are derived from the user’s passcode, you either need to guess that — or you need the user to have entered it. 4/
Guessing the password is hard on recent iPhones because there’s (at most) a 10-guess limit enforced by the Secure Enclave Processor (SEP). There’s good evidence that at one point in 2018 a company called GrayKey had a SEP exploit that did this for the X. See photo. 5/

This is incredibly sad and disturbing.
Two women were killed last night by this man.
He was released last month after a burglary arrest.
(1/x)
According to the article he has a record of:
+ 2 counts of voluntary manslaughter
+ possession of a stolen vehicle
+ leaving the scene of an accident
+ burglary
+ driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs
(2/x)
There is a question as to who is responsible here, beyond the suspect.
Apparently he was released on 12/23 for another crime.
There is an algorithm which makes suggestions, which judges and the DA office use as inputs.
(3/x)
Here is our DA's response:
It is my impression that the balance of justice is off-kilter in SF right now.
Feels like career criminals can act with virtually no consequences, until someone gets killed.
The "broken windows" theory is feeling truer and truer to me.

Is Boudin responsible for the two women killed by parole?
— Lou B (@LuigiCPA) January 1, 2021
Troy M was booked last night for stealing a car, second degree burglary, felon in possession of a firearm, large capacity magazine, meth, and voluntary manslaughter.
Boudin let the parole go as recently as Dec 23 (1/3)
Here is our DA's response:
We will make changes to ensure that people on parole receive the supervision and structure needed from parole to prevent this kind of tragedy from recurring.
