In part because it's not necessarily in their best interests to back Trump on this. Anyhow, I'm incredibly curious to watch the next couple of months to see if any Washington institutionalists change their behavior. It feels like a pretty stark moment. 6/6 — PolitiTweet.org

Seeing Republicans on TV attacking Mattis as a dupe of liberal media is something else. But it's also instinctual now. Cynical as I am, I was pretty shocked by the (lack of) response to Trump's photo op from GOP electeds 5/ https://t.co/3hTgzIbYLb — PolitiTweet.org

I have to think that it's been on the mind of Washington bureaucrats and other institutionalist creatures these past four years and this past week in particular, what it actually means to honor/respect an institution. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

I think it's safe to assume Mattis had serious disagreements/worries while in office. But he(& so many others in government) has been professionally reared to honor/respect American institutions. Often, that has meant hold your tongue & trust the institution to work things out 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously, what's prompted each of them is a pretty serious threat to their constitutional oath. But I'm interested that it takes an incredibly blatant threat to move them. In Sept 2019, Mattis said he would speak out "when the time's right" 2/ https://t.co/9ZuYPJjXHj — PolitiTweet.org

Mattis's denunciation of Trump & the use of military against civilians has me thinking abt the state of institutions & institutionalists. Mattis is speaking out after he has left his office. Esper is expressing dissent while still in his office ... 1/ https://t.co/OxEuuquV1n — PolitiTweet.org

@BarackObama And when you're done reading that piece @FiveThirtyEight read this on on how de-escalation tactics have helped reduce police killings in big cities...but they're going up in suburban/rural parts of America https://t.co/AmZhvoshk9 — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven't read, @perrybaconjr and @julia_azari 's look at the Lafayette Square police use of force and the violation of democratic norms...basically a dissection of why this misuse of American institutions is so disturbing. https://t.co/CMAqOeoewu — PolitiTweet.org

*and for the record, I’m sure me not knowing is due to my ignorance. I just was struck by how many people tweeted about a structure in the midst of some pretty bad violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, now much to the chagrin of its pastor, it’s associated with Trump and the tear gas use on peaceful protesters. Kind of an unhappy accident of its proximity to the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Im fascinated by St. John’s Church having become a focal point in all this. Last night, I noticed so many DC reporter types talking about it as if it were particularly famous. I lived in DC for years and while I recognize the building, didn’t know it to be esp significant — PolitiTweet.org

The defiant stance that the officers took in the Floyd killing is perhaps representative of a defiant feeling in police more broadly. And we're seeing that all play out nationally as we speak 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

We'll talk abt this on the pod today, & there will be a piece on our site soon, but the pattern of police killings being down in big cities and up in suburban/rural places makes me wonder about the attitudes of police nationwide, as more people are tuned into violent force 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

Staying on Floyd's neck, even as he calls for his mother, as the bystanders tell them he's in real distress—it's a defiance, an "i can do this" attitude. You see that reflected in police actions this weekend in use of cars as battering rams, arrests of journalists, etc etc. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The thing that continues to strike me is the dynamic btwn the officers who knew they were being filmed & the bystanders doing the filming. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
