text:
I don't want to read about a "veneer" and what's beneath it. I don't want to read about glass and wires and the new noir.

It's the way that you think of the concrete in an alleyway, the door that you look at with the blue light buzzing overhead in its wire-caged socket. I mean:

I hack away furiously at a keyboard, minding the sirens in the distance —and this time, for the first time, I'm sure that they're for me— and she bursts through the door and slips on the tile for a second, just catching herself. "Shitshitshit! Come the fuck on! Come on!"

I jump up, barely catching up to the moment. Her coat is blown by strong gusts from outside. Then I see a blinding white spotlight stream through the doorframe into the room right in front of me, painting her into halves before I hear "zeeowwhap! zeeowwhap!" and she's too shocked to scream as she looks down at the torn fabric and dark spots, all the blood. She looks up at me. She won't make it, and as soon as I realize that, I feel like throwing up. But there's no time. I grab the memfile and I run through the narrow hallway towards the front of the place. There are already people shouting at the back entrance as I make my way onto the street. I slam the door behind me, as if that would somehow separate me from what's coming to get me.

As I run down the stairs, I lock eyes with a guy standing right next to my bike. He and I both know what's happening and he widens his stance and squares towards me, taking deliberate steps over the curb, past the parking meter. He's not pulling a gun; he wants me alive. That's even worse... I'm fighting panic, the urge to run. This guy is fucking moving on me. What am I doing? There, in the gutter next to the steps: the vodka bottle. I pick it up and rush him, and he seems to get what's going on, but he's pissed off, like he expected the confrontation to go a lot smoother, like me not surrendering doesn't fit into his schedule. But he doesn't feel what I feel, which is all the unused adrenaline from a docile life (a life that, undoubtably, is past and gone now) surging and spiraling through my veins like bobsleds made of electricity. And rage— rage because they killed her and I didn't even know what she was like, because now she can't be "like" anything anymore, because they want to kill me too and I don't want to be killed.

So it proceeds that, as he tries to reach for the bottle to grab it out of my hands, to go on with his plan of subduing me without becoming dead, I yell and swing as hard as I can. His eyes get big. I hit a home run. It's nothing like the movies, the bottle doesn't break. He doubles over and screams because his nose and part of his face are broken. Still yelling, I pull the bottle in an imaginary arc through the side of his head, like driving a golf ball— the sound is sort of the same too, "WHOP-ping!" except it's followed immediately by another scream and the guy is stumbling and falling onto the ground. He is about as angry as someone can get, reaching out desperately with one hand to hook my leg or something. I step back and dart to my bike, turn the key in the ignition. Come on. Thumb the start. Ok. Pull as hard on the throttle as I can. Shit. The other people are bursting out of the front door now, still yelling. "Shit!" From a few hundred feet behind, they're firing at me— I know because I can see lines of air and things spraying sparks and bits of themselves all around me. I'm ducking and turning sharply into the next street.

The air is freezing. The night is dark. Streetlights and neon pass by as lines of fire; almost nobody is driving. It's terrifyingly empty. About a half hour later, I'm out of the city. I pull behind an abandoned gas station, cut my engine, step off of my bike, and collapse into the wall. I can't seem to cry or think about what I'll do next. All I can do is stare and think about how fucked it all was, how I want to go back to before it all happened.

Summarize the setting of the story.

answer: The main setting of the story is the city, but once the main character leaves the city, they emerge behind an abandoned gas station.

answer: There is not much specific information about the setting of the story, but a general setting can be inferred. The story contains neon, computers, guns, and motorbikes, so it cannot be too far in the past. The narrator also has something called a "memfile" which may indicate that the story takes place in the near future. At the end of the story the narrator flees the city, so the bulk of the story probably takes place in a city sometime in the near future.

split: train

text:
He walked like a man who had conquered every challenge he had ever faced. His large shiny forehead, a bulwark against those foolish enough to oppose him, glistened in the sun. His sat down at the table across from me. This guy certainly didn’t dress like I imagined most men of his trade would dress. His red leather jacket was hardly inconspicuous and his flashy black sunglasses looked expensive. This is a man that is so good at what he does he doesn’t have to blend in.

“Hello Mr. Smith. How are you?” I posited.
“I don’t have time for that shit.” he puffed back.
“I’m sorry I don’t do this kind of a thing very often, you are the first guy we have had to hire”
“The target is Martin Pierce Lepnick, is that correct?”
 “Yes.”
I have seen this exact scene play out in movies a million times and in the movies it looks cool, but I can’t help but feel like a complete dipshit. This whole thing is dumb.
…

Six days ago my boss the fucking president of the United States of America called me into his oval shaped office.
He said, “William I need you take have someone taken care of for me”.
I tell him “I’m sorry Mr. President I don’t understand. Like you want me to make sure they are taken care of? Do I need to have Sandra check the Lincoln Bedroom’s availability this month because I think you already have it booked till next Spring”.
“Fuck Lincoln and his shill of a bedroom! I need someone whacked!”
“This sounds like something you might want to talk to Director Schiller about. I can get him on the line…”
“Fuck that fat fuck Schiller! I want you to handle this.”
“Sir, that’s really not my specialty. I don’t think it’s even appropriate for me to hear about matters of national security”
The President gets up from his sofa and walks right up to me. I can smell the whiskey emanating from the large flapping orifice that resides above his presidential chin.
“This has nothing to do with national security” He pulls out one of his flasks from his suit pocket and dumps the contents into his mouth.
“William do I need to have something happen to you to? That would be a shame.”
“Sorry Mr. President”
“I’m sure you’d like to bang that blonde girlfriend of yours a few more times, wouldn’t you William? I know I would”
“What would you like me to do Mr. President?”
“I need you to set up a meeting with my guy. Sean Smith”
…
Sean let out an annoyed sigh.  He repeated “Martin Piece Lepnick?” “I just want to confirm that I am being set up by the president of the United States before I stage my coup and hang our beloved commander and chief in the streets”
“Wait WHAT?”
“Shut your fucking cock mouth up for a moment and listen” “Lepnick is the guy who books whores for Republican Congressman.” “When a newly elected guy arrives in D.C. they send their finest whore to fuck him. Sure she will pretend to be some unwitting intern or a slutty secretary but they paid to ensure they fuck the new guy” “Then they have blackmail to call in when they need it.” “It’s an effective system to control your lackies and the President has a lot of lackies to control, that’s where Martin comes in” “Mr. Lepnick finds the right girl for each job. He also makes sure to dispose of the girl once they are done to keep things quiet. He is the only other guy that knows about this whole shitshow.”
“Well that sounds awful, but I don’t understand. How exactly is he setting you up?”
“Because last week they found one of Lepnicks botched disposal jobs floating in the Patomic. They have called him in for questioning and the jig is up. He probably wants to cut a deal.”
“That makes a kind of perverted sense though. How is he betraying you?”

     It's funny how people act in the coffee rooms at funeral homes. They're all sad or they act sad out of respect. They all drink coffee and eat the cookies that they put out on the table, and they talk about how the body looks for a while, then they start talking about politics or the weather or some damn boring thing. It happens at every viewing I've ever been to. I even do it. I sat there the other night at my great aunts viewing and I nodded my head when people talked about how natural she looked and all that, and I ate three big cookie, then I looked down at my gut and was disgusted because I'm a damn glutton.
	Anyways, two things happened when we all left the funeral home: the first thing was I offered to be a pallbearer. It was my great aunt Margret's viewing, like I said, and my grandma said that me or my brother ought to be pallbearers. My brother's real nervous about some things, one of them is being around dead people. He was afraid he'd drop the casket or something, so I offered to do it, but Margret's niece said no. She told my grandma later that the reason she said no was because I looked like a clown because of my hair. I have long shaggy hair that I dye blood red.
     The second thing is that I noticed the damn Christmas tree in the corner near the door in the lobby -- it's getting close to Christmas now. It was tall and green and decorated in bright white lights and silver tinsel and big red bulbs with the names of all the dead people who were shown there that year written on them with permanent marker. I saw Margret's name in the center.
	I thought it was sort of strange, decorating the tree with the dead. I think that funeral homes are strange altogether. When you die everybody you ever met practically comes and cries and get all sad at the site of your leftover meat.
	When I got back home I started over to my friend Darren's house.
	Darren and I have went to school together since fourth grade, but we just started hanging out this year because we've always ran with different crowds. His friends are the kind of guys that wear gym shorts all year long and lust after Air Jordans and Beats Headphones and try to punk out everybody so they can feel tough. Plus, we've never had any classes together or anything until this year, but Darren's probably my favorite friend.
      The only problem with us hanging out is that he smokes a lot of weed and he's got me smoking a lot too. Last weekend we blew fifteen bucks on weed, smoked it all and stayed up until four listening to The Beatles.
	He's never listened to much music outside of rap, so I've been trying to show him some good stuff. He always acts like he likes it, but he's probably just entertaining me. He's probably just telling me he likes it because we're friends and he's nice. Darren's a real nice sensitive guy under all that wanna-be-thug shit he's always doing. He's nicer than me in a lot of ways, like when he's listening to rap and I don't like it, I tell him and bitch until he turns it off, and when he turns it off, he isn't even mad about having to doing it because he's real considerate. I wish I was that considerate.
	Anyways, Darren and I ended up going down to the cemetery and smoking a fat joint. I told him about the funeral home Christmas tree and he said that the funeral home was retarded.
	"They won't be putting my name on some damn bulb," he said. Then he talked about the rapture through the rest of the cemetery. He told me that we weren't going to have to worry about funerals because we weren't really going to die because we  were going up in the rapture. Darren was always talking about the rapture. He never went to church, but he had all the faith
in the world that the rapture was going to happen at any minute and he had all the faith in the world that the two of us were going.
	He told me once that I'm the only friend he likes to talk to about the rapture. It was probably because I'm the only one
who will even listen. I don't believe in the Bible, but I don't mind talking about Bible stuff if I care about the person doing most of the talking.
	If Heaven exists, Darren will go because he's nice and sensitive. If there's a Heaven, Margret's there because she was a real sweet lady. It's a nice idea, the idea of Heaven, I mean. I guess I'd rather float up to a cloud kingdom than to get old and die and be buried in a boxes.
	Anyways, I'm not sure why he thinks I'm going to Heaven.
	Once we got out of the cemetery, we saw this old tin can in the middle of the street, and the street was empty because it was about nine at night or later and it was cold and everybody besides the two of us were inside around heater and wrap in blankets, probably. Anyways, we started kicking the can down this alley and we kept falling down and laughing because we were stoned.
	We kept on kicking the can down the alleys until I had to piss. I went behind this old white shed, unbuttoned my pants and
unzipped and started pissing. There was this Oldsmobile behind me, it was parked on the other side of the alley, I thought it was empty because it was dark and I couldn't see through the
windows. Well, somebody was in it, and halfway through my piss, whoever it was  beeped the horn and scared me half to death,
 and I ended up pissing down my leg. I zipped up my pants and Darren and I got the hell out of the alley as fast as we could. It was funny, though. I didn't even mind the piss on my leg that much.

title: [UR] Funeral Home Christmas Tree

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about the type of person Darren is?

answer: The story portrays Darren as a sensitive, considerate person. He listens to music his friend finds meaningful, and he is always open to discussing matters of faith and the afterlife. By contrast, the protagonist also recognizes that Darren behaves differently from him: whereas the protagonist is easily irritated, Darren is patient and kind.

answer: Darren is a nice guy who listens to his friend as they share their stories and viewpoints. He's a sensitive guy under all the thug talk, and he's considerate when it comes to his friend's opinions. Darren has all the faith in the world in the rapture, and he believes only those who have a pure heart, such as himself, will make it to heaven. It seems Darren has never tried to go against the temptations he was always exposed to on the streets.

answer: Darren is a kind guy who is sensitive and considerate. He enjoys cannabis and would talk about the rapture. He lacks faith in the church and has strong faith in the Bible and in the rapture.

answer: The story suggests that Darren is a considerate and sensitive person. Despite being of a different crowd and listening to different music, Darren is able to show compassion for others, even in times of hardship. Darren also sees the absurdity in the funeral home Christmas tree, and the two spend time having fun in the cemetery. It is clear that Darren is a kind, sweet person.

answer: Darren smokes a lot of weed. He pretends to like the narrator's music because they're friends and he's nice. He's a sensitive guy under his wannabe-thug persona. He turns off his rap music when the narrator says he doesn't like it, and isn't mad about it because he's considerate. He's always talking about the rapture, even though he never goes to church. The narrator believes that if Heaven exists, Darren would go.

answer: The narrator went to Darren's house and smoked a joint together. While walking back from the cemetery, the narrator sees a funeral home Christmas tree and is disturbed by it. After kicking a tin can around an alley, the narrator ends up pissing down his leg when a car honks at him. Despite the pee, the narrator doesn't mind too much.

answer: The two go to a cemetery directly after visiting the funeral home and smoking a joint. Darren convinces the narrator that his drug-use and bad behavior "isn't that bad" while encouraging him to follow in those footsteps. After visiting the cemetery, the two hang out kicking a tin can until the narrator pisses and causes it to fall, causing the narrator to pee himself.

POOLSTOCK STADIUM was a greyhound racing and speedway stadium on Park Street in Poolstock, Wigan, Greater Manchester

Origins

The stadium was constructed in 1932 on a plot of land on Cromwell's Ditch, west of Park Street and Baker Street and east of Poolstock Brook.[1]

Opening

The stadium situated on a ten-acre site opened on 9 March 1932.[2]

Greyhound racing

The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club). Five dog races were held on Saturday nights at 7.30pm on a track that had grass straights and sanded bends. Race distances were 314, 525 and 750 yards behind an 'Inside Sumner' hare system.[3]

Speedway

Speedway took place from 1947 to 1960. Laurel and Hardy made a personal appearance at a meeting in 1947.[4]

Closure

Planning permission for 130 homes to be built was given to John Maunders Construction Ltd in early 1973. Racing finally stopped on 28 February 1973 and the track was demolished. The site today is an extension of the housing on Baker Street.[5]

 Journeyman
Back in August, programmer Patrick McConlogue offered Leo Grand a choice: $100, or 16 coding lessons. Grand -- homeless since 2011 after losing his job at insurance provider MetLife and being priced out of his home when a high-rise apartment block was built nearby -- didn't have to think for long. Coding lessons it was.

[]
After furnishing Grand with a refurbished Chromebook and three books on coding, McConlogue met with him every weekday morning for an hour-long lesson. Now, Grand has released his very first app: Trees for Cars, available for iOS and Android.

The idea behind the app, Grand said, is to decrease the number of cars on the roads with a eye toward reducing CO2 emissions. Users sign up and specify whether they want to catch a ride or offer one, and the app will connect them with like-minded carpoolers nearby. The app will then track how much CO2 was saved by all the passengers.

Grand wrote every line of code, and all proceeds from the AU$0.99 app sales will go directly to him.

You can check out the course McConlogue taught Grand here, read the story of this remarkable journey here, and pick up the app for 99 cents on iTunes and Google Play.

_TAP THE RED CANE WHIRLWIND_ is an album by American blues singer and guitarist Kelly Joe Phelps. It reached number 11 on the _Billboard_ Top Blues Albums.

History

_Tap the Red Cane Whirlwind_ is a collection of solo live performances from engagements at McCabe's, Santa Monica, California and Freight and Salvage, Berkeley, California in 2004.

In an interview regarding his first live release, Phelps said, “My passion lies in performing live, in the sense of 'no net' string grabbing and 'lord knows what' singing and flying by my seat and watching the songs come alive (hopefully) in a way that I could have never predicted beforehand. I've wanted to have a recorded representation of that for some time...”[1]

Reception

Music critic Thom Jurek praised the release in his Allmusic review, writing “Phelps is a dynamite guitarist who adds, subtracts, and morphs figures onto the original fingerstyle lines, and uses his voice to offer evidence of the timelessness of the lyric. And as moving and virtuosic as these two performances are, it's his own songs that offer the true prize of this collection... if there is one recording that captures the sum of the magic, power, and poetry that is Kelly Joe Phelps, this one's it.”[2] Fred Kraus of Minor 7th wrote: “His slices-of-life verses provide character insight without being self-confessional, and just enough detail to be recognizable without being self-focused. His observations are such that they open up our world rather than reduce it. Phelps definitely has it going on.”[3]

David Greenberger of _No Depression_ praised the album with reservations, writing “After exploring the studio possibilities with a shifting but sympathetic group of players, Phelps turns, on this record, to a form that has been his mainstay: live, solo performance... His music is so tied to a sound that the songs can roll into one another, as well as disappear into themselves. Granted, some of those issues can be chalked up to creative subtleties, but there are times when you just want him to change registers and head into the truly unknown. That said, Phelps is a riveting performer, integrating his singing into his playing with results that exude fully committed emotional character... Phelps’ singing goes down so smooth I just want him to even let out a cough to rough up the flow at some point.”[4]

PopMatters critic Robert R. Calder is equally equivocal, giving the album 5 of 10 stars: “He seems hardly to have combined verbal inspiration into any very conventional sort of song.... In some respects Phelps lets himself off easy. The lack of straight sequential meanings simply spreads words and phrases across the virtuoso guitar music... The result is probably good in parts, but I wonder how the real oddness of some lyrics might disquiet listeners after a little longer than a critic can allow himself/herself to relisten to a review copy before writing. There's a cause of disquiet at odds with the gentle and often beautiful music. I'll declare no conclusion but advise potential listeners that they might find something incoherent and unlikeable. It's worth suggesting that while there's impressive evidence here that Kelly Joe Phelps is an exceptionally talented musician, guitarist, and performer, he has perhaps not distinguished himself in words.”[5]

Allmusic instead of writing an independent piece thinks the album is so outstanding it compiles all the reviews it can fine. The reviews are generally positive and complementary, though in criticizes the lack of sophistication of some of the lyrics.

text: Most of the information provided in the answer is not according to the text and is quite incoherent. The model should consider rewriting the answer.

refinement: From the text, a couple of critics applauded Phelp's overall performance. However, the other critics felt the lyrics were incoherent. In all, the album was praised and was also viewed by some as having room for improvement.

answer: Some critics, such as Thom Jurek, praise the album. Jurek calls Phelps a "dynamite guitarist." Fred Kraus describes his verses as "slices of life" and claim he has got it "going on." Other reviewers, such as David Greenberger, and Robert R. Calder, are more equivocal. They find the lack of sequential meaning in the album too jarring.

Former Bayonne Police Officer Domenico Lillo leaves federal court in Newark on Dec. 6, 2017 after testifying against Bayonne Police Officer Francis Styles. (Corey W. McDonald | The Jersey Journal) (EJA)

NEWARK -- Domenico Lillo is likely getting a lot more free time than he expected.

For the ninth time since pleading guilty to allegations of police brutality, sentencing for Lillo, the disgraced ex-cop who struck a Bayonne resident in the face with a flashlight, has been postponed.

His sentencing was scheduled for July 26 but has now been pushed back to Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. in Newark Federal Court. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey declined to comment on why it was postponed again.

Lillo pleaded guilty in September 2015 to using excessive force during the Dec. 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh -- specifically pleading guilty to one count of deprivation of civil rights, and in an unrelated case, he confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan intended for low- to moderate-income residents.

As part of his plea deal, he testified in federal court for more than two days late last year against his fellow officer, Francis Styles, who the government alleged knowingly covered up Lillo's use of excessive force.

Lillo told U.S. District Judge Kevin McNulty that he fully expected Styles and other cooperating officers to cover for his use of force on the night of the incident. However, the case ended in a mistrial after jurors told the McNulty they were deadlocked.

Officials indicated they would retry Styles, but announced later that they were dropping the charges.

Lillo's sentencing dates have now been postponed four times in 2016, twice in 2017, and three times this year, according to court records.

What did Police Officer Domenico Lillo do?

answer: Domenico Lillo used excessive force during the arrest of Brandon Walsh.

text: In the text, Lillo did three things: used excessive force, pleaded guilty to the charge, and falsified government records to obtain a loan. All three should be reflected in the answer.

refinement: Domenico Lillo pleaded guilty to using excessive force during the arrest of Brandon Walsh. He also falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: Since Lillo's entire name/title is used in the question, it is unnecessary to repeat it in the answer.

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force during the arrest of Brandon Walsh. He also falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: Lillo's excessive action should be mentioned since the question is so broad.

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force during the arrest of Brandon Walsh, who he struck in the face with a flashlight. He also falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: "Lillo pleaded guilty in September 2015 to using excessive force during the Dec. 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh..."

answer: He pleaded guilty to using force during his arrest of Brandon Walsh.

text: The answer should clarify that he used "excessive" force during the arrest.

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force during his arrest of Brandon Walsh.

text: Lillo's excessive action should be mentioned since the question is so broad ("what did he do").

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force during his arrest of Brandon Walsh. Lillo struck Walsh in the face with a flashlight.

text: The answer should mention that he falsified records.

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force during his arrest of Brandon Walsh, who he struck in the face with a flashlight. Lillo also falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: "Lillo pleaded guilty in September 2015 to using excessive force during the Dec. 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh..."

answer: He struck a Bayonne resident in the face with a flashlight.

text: Lillo did three things in this text: he used excessive force during an arrest, pleaded guilty to it, and falsified government records to obtain a loan. The answer should reflect all three.

refinement: He struck a Bayonne resident in the face with a flashlight during an arrest and pleaded guilty to using excessive force. He also falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: "Bayonne resident" should be the person's name, Brandon Walsh.

refinement: He struck Brandon Walsh in the face with a flashlight during an arrest and pleaded guilty to using excessive force. He also falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: "...Lillo, the disgraced ex-cop who struck a Bayonne resident in the face with a flashlight..."

answer: Lillo used excessive force on Brandon Walsh during his arrest and falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: The answer should mention that Lillo pleaded guilty.

refinement: Lillo pleaded guilty to using excessive force on Brandon Walsh during his arrest and falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: Lillo's name doesn't need to be repeated at the beginning since it's in the question.

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force on Brandon Walsh during his arrest and falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: The separation between the events of the arrest and the falsified records should be grammatically clearer.

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force on Brandon Walsh during his arrest, as well as falsified government records to obtain a loan.

text: "Lillo pleaded guilty in September 2015 to using excessive force during the Dec. 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh -- specifically pleading guilty to one count of deprivation of civil rights, and in an unrelated case, he confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan..."

answer: He pleaded guilty to police brutality using excessive force during the December 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh.

text: Saying "police brutality using excessive force" is a bit convoluted and redundant. Since "force" is used more often in the source text, "police brutality" can be deleted.

refinement: He pleaded guilty to using excessive force during the December 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh.

text: "Lillo pleaded guilty in September 2015 to using excessive force during the Dec. 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh -- specifically pleading guilty to one count of deprivation of civil rights..."

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What did Bayonne Police Officer Francis Styles do?

answer: He was alleged to have known Officer Domenico Lillo used excessive force and tried hiding it.

answer: He and other officers covered up for his crime.

text: "His crime" is too vague - Lillo should be named.

refinement: He and other officers covered up for Lillo's crime.

text: The text refers to Style's cover-up as alleged but this answer makes it sound certain.

refinement: He and other officers allegedly covered up for Lillo's crime.

text: The question asks specifically about Styles so mentioning his friends is probably unnecessary/irrelevant.

refinement: He allegedly covered up for Lillo's crime.

text:
"...Francis Styles, who the government alleged knowingly covered up Lillo's use of excessive force.

Lillo told U.S. District Judge Kevin McNulty that he fully expected Styles and other cooperating officers to cover for his use of force on the night of the incident."

answer: Styles is being tried for allegedly covering up the use of excessive force by Domenico Lillo.

text: Saying "Styles is being tried for..." doesn't directly the question, "What did...Styles do?" It answers a different (present tense) question, like, what is Styles's situation?

refinement: He allegedly covered up the use of excessive force by Domenico Lillo.

text:
"...Francis Styles, who the government alleged knowingly covered up Lillo's use of excessive force.

Lillo told U.S. District Judge Kevin McNulty that he fully expected Styles and other cooperating officers to cover for his use of force on the night of the incident."

answer: He allegedly covered up the excessive force of former Bayonne Police Officer Domenico Lillo.

answer: Plead guilty to accusations of police brutality

text: Styles did not plead guilty to these charges, Lillo did.

refinement: He allegedly covered up the use of excessive force by Domenico Lillo.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What was the other case against Lillo that was not related to the police brutality case?

answer: He confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan for low- to moderate-income residents.

text: The hyphen after "low" is unnecessary.

refinement: He confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan for low to moderate-income residents.

text: Since the question is "what was the other case..." then "he confessed to..." doesn't make sense as the start to the answer.

refinement: The case regarded falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan for low to moderate-income residents.

text: "...he confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan intended for low- to moderate-income residents."

answer: It was for falsifying government documents and obtaining a loan.

text: I think saying "the other case" at the beginning of the answer helps reorient the reader to what's going on.

refinement: The other case was for falsifying government documents and obtaining a loan.

text: "...he confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan intended for low- to moderate-income residents."

answer: Lillo pleaded guilty to committing fraud in order to obtain a loan.

answer: He falsified government records to obtain a $20,000 loan.

answer: Lillo confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan intended for low- to moderate-income residents.

text: The beginning of this answer sounds like it's answering "what else did Lillo confess to" and not "what was the other case...?" Saying, "The case regarded..." would be more precise.

refinement: The case regarded Lillo falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan intended for low- to moderate-income residents.

text: The hyphen after "low" is unnecessary.

refinement: The case regarded Lillo falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan intended for low to moderate-income residents.

text: "...he confessed to falsifying government records in order to obtain a $20,000 loan intended for low- to moderate-income residents."

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Did Lillo plead guilty to police brutality?

answer: Yes, he pleaded guilty to police brutality.

answer: Yes, Lillo had pleaded guilty to police brutality.

text: The pluperfect "had" is grammatically awkward here and removing it would be clearer.

refinement: Yes, Lillo pleaded guilty to police brutality.

answer: Yes. Lillo pleaded guilty in September 2015 to using excessive force during the Dec. 27, 2013 arrest of Brandon Walsh.

text: The answer is correct but the second sentence isn't necessary to answer the question.

answer: Yes.

answer: Yes.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why is Lillo likely getting more free time?

answer: It's because his sentencing dates have always been postponed.

text: The word "always" is true but unnecessary.

refinement: It's because his sentencing dates have been repeatedly postponed.

text: "Lillo's sentencing dates have now been postponed four times in 2016, twice in 2017, and three times this year, according to court records."

answer: The sentencing for Lillo, who pleaded guilty in September 2015 for excessive force during an arrest, has been postponed multiple times. Likely the postponed sentencing is due to the trial for his fellow officer, Francis Styles, which ended in a mistrial. Prosecutors have indicated they intend to retry Styles, but have since dropped the charges. Given these circumstances, Lillo is likely getting much more free time.

text: This answer goes way beyond what the question asked and is misleading since the text says official sources declined to answer why his sentencing has been postponed again.

refinement: Because his sentencing continues to be postponed.

answer: The US Attorney's Office for the District of New New Jersey has postponed his sentencing ten times already.

text: It has been postponed 9 times, not 10.

refinement: The US Attorney's Office for the District of New New Jersey has postponed his sentencing 9 times already.

text: Including the name of the Office seems excessive for answering this question.

refinement: Because his sentencing has been postponed nine times already.

text: "His sentencing was scheduled for July 26 but has now been pushed back to Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. in Newark Federal Court. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey declined to comment ..."

answer: His sentencing has been postponed several times. Lillo likely gets more free time due to his guilty plea and testifying against police officer Francis Styles in a federal case.

text: Rephrasing the beginning of the second sentence to simplify possible causality would be helpful.

refinement: His sentencing has been postponed several times. This could be due to his guilty plea and his testifying against police officer Francis Styles in a federal case.

answer: His sentencing has not been carried out since 2015, which means he's been in prison long enough to serve time in excess of his original sentence. Based in prison, he is probably not getting paid since he is not working there.

text: Except for "His sentencing has not been carried out since 2015," this whole thing is fictional.

refinement: Because his sentencing has been postponed nine times since he pleaded guilty.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: Former Bayonne Police Officer Domenico Lillo's sentencing for using excessive force during a 2013 arrest has been postponed to November 5th. This is the ninth time his sentencing has been postponed. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey declined to comment on why the sentencing has been postponed again.

text: It's easy to make this two sentences instead of three, as the prompt suggests.

refinement: Former Bayonne Police Officer Domenico Lillo's sentencing for using excessive force during a 2013 arrest has been postponed to November 5th. This is the ninth time his sentencing has been postponed and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey declined to comment on why the sentencing has been postponed again.

text: "...the sentencing has been postponed again" is unnecessarily redundant.

refinement: Former Bayonne Police Officer Domenico Lillo's sentencing for using excessive force during a 2013 arrest has been postponed to November 5th. This is the ninth time his sentencing has been postponed and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey declined to comment on the decision.

answer: Police Officer Domenico Lillo, who pleaded guilty to striking a Bayonne resident in the face with a flashlight, testified against Bayonne Police Officer Francis Styles, who was alleged to have covered up Lillo's excessive use of force. Lillo's sentencing dates have been postponed many times for years.

text: It's possible to be more specific about the postponements and I think it would be clearer to do so.

refinement: Police Officer Domenico Lillo, who pleaded guilty to striking a Bayonne resident in the face with a flashlight, testified against Bayonne Police Officer Francis Styles, who was alleged to have covered up Lillo's excessive use of force. Lillo's sentencing dates have been postponed nine times since pleading guilty in 2015.

answer: The author reports that former Bayonne Police Officer Domenico Lillo has been sentenced to prison for striking a resident in the face with a flashlight. The severity of his violence and the continuing postponements prompted his punishment to be increased.

text: This mentions a couple of relevant words but is otherwise fictional. Lillo has not been sentenced and his punishment has not been increased.

refinement: Former Bayonne Police Officer Domenico Lillo pleaded guilty in 2015 to striking a resident in the face with a flashlight during an arrest in 2013. Despite his plea, his sentencing has been postponed nine times over several years.

answer: A Jersey Journal piece reports how former police officer Domenico Lillo, who has pleaded guilty in 2015 to using excessive force against Brandon Walsh, has not yet been sentenced. Nine times he has had his sentencing postponed.

answer: Former Bayonne police officer Domenico Lillo's sentencing for striking a resident in the face with a flashlight was postponed to Nov. 5. Lillo testified against officer Francis Styles in a related case and his sentencing has been postponed four times this year.

text: "Nov. 5" is meaningless in a summary.

refinement: Former Bayonne police officer Domenico Lillo's sentencing for striking a resident in the face with a flashlight was postponed again. Lillo testified against officer Francis Styles in a related case and his sentencing has been postponed four times this year.

text: The occasion of the event should be mentioned.

refinement: Former Bayonne police officer Domenico Lillo's sentencing for using excessive force during an arrest in 2013 was postponed again. Lillo testified against officer Francis Styles in a related case and his sentencing has been postponed four times this year.

text: In such a brief summary, mentioning Styles is probably not helpful. It would be better to mention the total postponements.

refinement: Former Bayonne police officer Domenico Lillo's sentencing for using excessive force during an arrest in 2013 was postponed again. Lillo pleaded guilty in 2015 and his sentencing has been postponed nine times.
