It would be great to overlay those two dozen names against disciplinary files including excessive force complaints. I Wonder what we would find? Anyway, I suspect that Mass State Troopers lost a big percentage of problem cops today. Progress comes in mysterious ways. — PolitiTweet.org

@EdwardGLuce I’m re-reading the Gathering Storm. The early chapters are stunning. Released in ‘48, Churchill lays out the facts of recent history as he describes the events leading to what he told FDR should be called the “Unnecessary War”. People never change. Can they learn seems relevant? — PolitiTweet.org

In the paragraphs below Churchill describes the rise of Hitler from the publication of his memoir written during a lenient prison term. Sir Winston wrote this in 1948. The events remained vivid.

Amazing history below. NYT 1924 declaring Hitler looked “sadder and wiser”. Authorities declared there was no reason to fear him and the NYT predicted a pastoral retirement in Austria. 20 years 4 Months and ten days after this was written he shot himself in the head in a — PolitiTweet.org
