THREAD: This morning, the New York Times used the jury deliberations in Minnesota as the occasion to get more attention for a newsletter full of "reformist" police propaganda that it sent to untold numbers of NYT readers.
The piece has the usual tactics I have described in other threads: quoting cops as experts, using vague phrase "many experts" to limit the range of debate to "reformist" cop views, using politicized words like "meaningful" without basis, entirely erasing critical views, etc
We will see if @DLeonhardt is open to learning and to reflecting on his own complicity in the everyday violence perpetrated by the police bureaucracy. I hope he is open to a discussion about it.

Please read more @DLeonhardt. The "reforms" you mention are not "meaningful." They will do nothing. Please engage with people outside your bubble. Here are two pieces to start: slate.com/news-and-polit… and yalelawjournal.org/forum/the-puni…
thanks, as always, to @prisonculture for alerting us to this dangerous stuff earlier today.
