        @sapinker really? "Anti-cop left" how can someone like Pinker really not understand simple nuance? Never meet your heros I guess...

        @sapinker Besides a tiny vocal minority on the Internet (and you can find that in support of ANYTHING) - who's "anti-cop"?

        @sapinker " anti-cop left" is slogan devoid of analysis or meaning; dog whistle for reactionaries.

        @sapinker It's unfortunate, the police are wanted most where they are needed least and wanted least where they are needed most.

        .@sapinker For starters, for hacks like MacDonald to stop conflating "anti cop racism and racist violence" with "anti-cop".

        6. Maybe if police solved more crime instead of using their limited resources on BWP, comm trust would increase @sapinker @HeatherMacDona

        3. Or does HM mean anti over-policing of minor infractions, hassling of poor black people, & needless shootings? @sapinker @HeatherMacDona

        2. @sapinker @HeatherMacDona Anti-cop left. Nice straw man, HM. What % of progressive advocates for police reform do you think are anti-cop?
