It's certainly a terrible crisis right now. Could get much worse. But being grounded in reality is useful. And I'm gonna lose it if people keep saying "We wouldn't do this even in Iraq." Yeah, where the military lost track of the number of civilians it killed just in checkpoints.

One thing that's converging is the crisis black people experience routinely re:police is maybe spreading to broader groups now. Journalists are being targeted, teargas on vanilla marchers, insecurity in one's own neighborhood. Hard to predict where that one will go though.
