      One of the most interesting findings from our report is about conservatives, believe it or not.

      The right was a constant presence in the Twitter discussion on police violence. Most of the time they opposed the mvt, tweeting things like:

      "What abt black-on-black crime," "why is Holder wasting time on this," "here's why he/she deserved to die," "Looters are terrible," etc.

      But there were two major exceptions: the non-indictment of Eric Garner's killer and the killing of Walter Scott.

      On those two occasions, many (though def not all) conservatives basically said "hmm, there may be something to this whole brutality thing"

      Faced with video evidence of unjustified homicide, many conservatives conceded that the system doesn't always work.

      I found this kind of amazing given our polarized political climate. Admitting the other side might have a point? Treason! (Right?)

      But consider the policy implications of this. If you can get your opponents to admit there might be a problem at least some of the time...

      That opens the possibility to convince them to support reforms. After all, they saw it right there in the video.

      @dfreelon I remember this; and noticing especially after Garner & Scott. (Garner extra twist: he was breaking minor/paternalist law).

      @dfreelon Will look at your report; noticed this after Sandra Bland's arrest video surfaced too, since it was so blatantly awful.

          @zeynep Glad to hear it; let me know what you think. Unfortunately our data timeline stops right before Bland died.
