Weekly civic intelligence report ยท v2.2
A jury determined that Capitol Police discriminated against a female officer. This represents a finding of institutional discrimination within Capitol Police.
Single employment discrimination case finding. Civil_rights=3.5 for workplace discrimination finding against federal law enforcement, rule_of_law=2.5 for judicial accountability mechanism working as designed, corruption=0.5 for institutional bias. Mechanism_modifier=0.7 (no mechanism specified, single jury verdict, remedial not systemic), scope_modifier=0.85 (federal institution but narrow=single officer). A-score=3.87 well below threshold. B-score moderate: outrage_bait=3.5 (discrimination+police+gender), media_friendliness=3 (clear narrative), but limited viral potential. This is routine employment discrimination litigation producing expected judicial outcome - no constitutional damage mechanism, affects one individual, represents system working (jury trial, civil rights enforcement). Classic noise: legitimate grievance, proper resolution, no broader constitutional implications.
Monitor for: (1) Pattern of similar cases suggesting systemic discrimination, (2) Capitol Police policy changes or resistance to remedies, (3) Legislative response attempts. Single employment discrimination verdict, even against federal agency, does not constitute constitutional event without broader institutional impact or resistance to legal accountability.
