Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Lightfoot said a crowd of 30-40 people gathered outside a clothing store near 111th Street and Michigan Avenue as a “dude with a sledgehammer” broke into the store to allow it to be looted.“I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen s--t like this before, not in Chicago,” Lightfoot said.

My study of northern backlash against the Great Migration has no policy prescription, but it has a smoking gun. Police are the only public investment to increase in metro areas w/ more black migration.

The only thing really in question is the first person nature of the account. If it were written as a third person jeremiad with copious footnotes it wouldn’t be missing much other than the anecdotes about police academy.

And a propos of that, I just stumbled over this podcast called "Behind the Bastards" and the have an ep about that guy who "teaches cops to kill," who is mentioned in the Medium essay. It's...illuminating.

Side note my former employer published that book ON KILLING by Dave Grossman, and I used to have to reprint it periodically. Never realized the full scope of his bastardness.

Lots of DC insiders are criticizing frontline activists over political feasibility and saying they need a new slogan.But poll-tested slogans and electoral feasibility is not the activists’ job.

I know “Defund the Police” seems radical and scary but “Dissolve Police Departments Then Rebuild Them as One Small Facet in a Network of Specialized Services So Police Aren’t Called To Handle Problems They’re Woefully Ill-equipped to Solve” isn’t as easy to chant.— David Daut (@DavidMDaut) June 8, 2020

AOC's previous tweet before that one is even better at framing the issue imo (apologies if you're all seeing both—I have twitter tracking blocked so it might be misleading me):
“Defund” means that Black & Brown communities are asking for the same budget priorities that White communities have already created for themselves: schooling > police,etc.People asked in other ways, but were always told “No, how do you pay for it?”So they found the line item.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 9, 2020
