    Really extraordinary, and why we’re going to be in awful trouble if there’s ever another pandemic after this breach of trust by government. If showed this in his debate with me over rational-basis review, I’d lose badly.

    "Defund the police" does not have a messaging problem. It has a utopian pseudo-solution that will definitely make things worse problem.

    9 unarmed black Americans killed by the police this year vs ~7,000 annual black homicide victims a year. But from an ideological lens 9 > 7,000. Of course killing by the state is different than a repeated violent offender doing the same — but the numbers are not remotely close.

    There are thousands of people killed in America w/ impunity - ie the killers are never arrested & brought to justice. But why is the focus only on police, who kill 50 unarmed per year & absolutely no concern for the 13,000 killed by gun violence per year?

    Abolishing police in high crime neighborhoods has resulted in mass death from skyrocketing crime -- but the victims are working class people in poor cities like Baltimore. Lives only matter when they fit a simple political narrative. Crime is morally complex, so it is ignored.

    Why not just base all U.S. policy on traumatic videos? Definitely the thoughtful way to understand the millions upon millions of police interactions that are not abusive in any way, let's take the viral outliers and make sweeping claims.
