      Will dimly realizes that Matt is in fact speaking against the protests, and backs and fills by saying that it's too easy to paint this sort of critique as being against the protests.

      Will sneering at protestors for tearing down statues of Cervantes or Grant. I don't think sneering at protestors in this way is good, but he's on much more solid ground than his colleagues just pissing on the 1619 project using right wing talking points.

          also obviously cops are literally the enforcers of class hierarchy, as well as of racist hierarchy. and we're in the middle of a weeks long police riot. but Matt and Amber want to center solidarity with cops. This is grotesque.

          yes, the systemic incentives are bad, but that doesn't mean that cops are morally without stain, or that empathy for cops should be a central left approach or goal!

          if it's not clear, the Wire is good in many ways, but like most media it tends to glorify cops, and ideally socialists and journalists should not use it to defend the fucking police.

          the fact that people in segregated, targeted Black neighborhoods debate whether more cops or less cops would be helpful doesn't mean you need to defend cops?

          policing and capitalism are powerful, pervasive systems and thinking through alternatives is tough. but presumably the point of a radical left podcast is to propose left solutions, not just defend cops in the face of antiracist uprisings.
