@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

I'm sorry, but "abolish the police" seems like a poorly-thought out idea that's gotten popular with shocking speed — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter hive mind: who are the top experts on the sociology of police forces? I'm particularly interested in the political and social worldview of officers. — PolitiTweet.org

This is an incredibly well-done piece by @mtredden on the fundamentally cultural roots of police militarization https://t.co/ZpexkFW9Jq — PolitiTweet.org

@StevanOCCRP would you mind sending me an email at [email protected]? would love to talk to you about something — PolitiTweet.org

@Vermeullarmine Alternatively, the park police chief is lying to cover for misbehavior and the dozens of reporters on the ground are telling the truth! — PolitiTweet.org

@ArminRosen That's only in recent weeks as the US death rate declined from astronomical peaks. If you look across the total pandemic, the US death rate is still 60 percent higher than Canada's https://t.co/p4jSTz3Ery — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@davidrkadler @EricLevitz I don't understand what "this brand" refers to. Go to the https://t.co/maFNxWOTb5 homepage now; does it look like Matt or any other Vox writer is apologizing for what Trump et al. are doing? Did you read my piece on what happened in Lafayette yesterday? https://t.co/nr7JAtY3uV — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@davidrkadler @EricLevitz You wrote "It's completely conceding the point that it's okay to enforce a 7 pm curfew in DC." That is *not true*, and you can't move the goalposts from the original tweet claiming we're closet fascists. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@davidrkadler @EricLevitz What's worse, you're trying to make some kind of grand ideological argument about "technocracy" based on a dubious interpretation of Matt when our publication as a whole has been extremely critical of police conduct here. Isn't your aim to build bridges between progressives? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@davidrkadler @EricLevitz Straightforwardly, the argument is: It's bad that the police gassed peaceful protesters. It's even more alarming that they did so illegally, in a way that demonstrates officer willingness to break the law on Trump's behalf. It is NOT gassing would have been OK if done legally. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@davidrkadler @EricLevitz No, he's not saying that. Literally the first line of the piece is arguing that the images of police attacking protestors were "chilling" even absent the 7 pm context. This a really shameful misinterpretation. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@profmusgrave there was a massive protest less than a block from my house and, in the opposite direction, a police car was on fire four blocks away. but yes, no problems. — PolitiTweet.org

There's a 7 pm curfew in DC tonight. Looking forward to all the anti-lockdown protestors coming out to demand their freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

@ivanplis this is great, stuff on germany and the punk movement is so clarifying (and also fits with my youthful experience in the dc punk scene) — PolitiTweet.org

@jennieci yeah that's the big one, looking for something beyond that if it's out there — PolitiTweet.org
