This is good news, because it shows that Brown isn’t a unicorn. (OK, maybe Brown is a unicorn, but their solution can be replicated elsewhere.)

From an amoral admin perspective, this is so obviously the way to go—I hope we see more imitation.

“protesters have been met with police violence”: God knows the Grauniad has its problems, but at least they got this framing right (unlike basically all US media)

I saw a post within the last few days suggesting we stop calling them "cops" and instead call them "violence workers".

Now I'm mentally rewriting "cops" and "police" so that becomes something like "protestors have been met with violence workers" and that's 🔥 to me
