@joelmmathis My thinking was that the email tease gave a false impression of social justice critique for what was actually a shitty *that guy went to rehab and got divorced* writeup. — PolitiTweet.org

The vague notion that social justice demands foregrounding the worse thing a person has done, forever, mostly serves to give clickbait a veneer of social consciousness. Example: https://t.co/xBZgYW23yw — PolitiTweet.org

Just how unpopular is "defund the police"? This unpopular: https://t.co/11adXWPBor And I'd still defend it if it were substantively good. But it's also bad policy, as huge majorities know in every neighborhood not so privileged that they needn't consider violent crime. — PolitiTweet.org

@trizzlor @avitale I reject the premise that the goal is extreme, as it can be met in many places, but of course I would be against e.g. punishing detectives for failure to solve a case — PolitiTweet.org

The public is more amenable than unusual to police reforms, and plenty are worth doing, but the opportunity to effect them is being squandered by undue focus on a wildly unpopular and substantively wrongheaded slogan/agenda. I suggest an alternative. https://t.co/qBrHV7uqfV — PolitiTweet.org
