I know 'disproportionate' has a specific meaning re: intl. law, but it's come to occlude moral analysis as wellhttps://twitter.com/zerogbadillion/status/721147799006384128 …

@mtracey I don't disagree, but would note that "proportionate" in this case is a legal term. "Disproportionate" force is illegal. -
@ZeroGBadillion Yeah, but the term has become a stand-in for any kind of moral judgment. Sanders wasn't speaking in a legal sense last night - 2 more replies
