Lotta people telling me that this isn't to be taken literally, that it's a call for defunding or reform. That's not quite accurate; read interviews with police abolitionists and there's a weird motte-bailey maneuver on this point https://t.co/SaHq5UjiIM — PolitiTweet.org

@cjane87 I have never seen anyone explain convincingly what you do about murder, rape, and assault in a world where there not agents of the state empowered to use force to apprehend the perpetrators — PolitiTweet.org

@cjane87 @freedaaron I also find many of these ideas compelling, but it doesn't change my mind on the wisdom of a maximalist "abolish the police" slogan. The piece ends up with "shrink and eventually abolish police" — they're very different, and I think the former is much more compelling — PolitiTweet.org
