      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.

          she's making the same argument against police abolition that centrists make against universal healthcare and Sander's other programs. It's impractical!

          shocker: lots of people who support m4a also think caping for cops is bad. Taibbi" "there's something fake about it; it's hard to put your finger on what it is exactly." maybe the issue is that you've got some racist presuppositions, Matt.

          among other things, Mariame just wrote a fucking op ed in the NYT. She has spent her life explaining these issues. She does not have to write a personal tweet thread for Amber A'Lee frost to show she cares about these issues.

          "people want to know what we're going to do with the murderers and rapists. that's a legitimate concern." as Kaba points out, what we mostly do with them now is nothing. police famously don't care about catching rapists.
