@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

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

Similarly, this piece has a lot of good ideas on how to decrease the role of police in our lives but ends with "shrink and eventually abolish police." Those are different goals, one much more defensible (politically and substantively) than the former https://t.co/L7U9v5Jxuf — PolitiTweet.org
