I wrote a paper about police violence a couple years back, and, regrettably, it continues to be relevant.

@PayPal I'm reporting them to @CFPB (the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). Paypal needs to have better policies in place to ensure that nonsense like this doesn't happen.

Provocative and incisive piece by @ChicagoKentLaw colleague Pedro Gerson.

@ARegularJabroni @AP Then you weren't watching the earlier seasons of this show.

@xz2196 @xphilosopher @Insper @almeida2808 I'm sure you can ask him yourself. But it's in his paper "Concepts of Law," published 20 years ago in the @JLegPhi

@xphilosopher @Insper @almeida2808 Thanks for this question! I'm working on two projects. One is testing Liam Murphy's claim that natural lawyers will acquiesce to evil regimes. The second is about whether mafias are legal systems, and for that one, I rely on observational rather than experimental social science.

I've always been a big fan of this article.

@KCMONO1 @steve_vladeck And then in Trump v. US, they claim that the ordinary protections of criminal procedure are insufficient to protect him from malicious prosecution. Hmmm, I wonder who's responsible for that?

@peez Many are saying "under." They're imagining that their true ability will be seen and they'll get the prestige and power they're due. But many underestimated folks are overlooked and never get their flowers. It's better to have people believe in you, even more than you deserve.

@RichardMRe I would've thought Trump was the first beneficiary.

@Smudge_The_Catt @AjAqrabawi People who use woke as a slur or insult probably don't care about the plight of Palestine either.

@OrinKerr How to ask this politely - I take it that you were alive during Watergate, right?

@orangeandblackk @GovernorShapiro If I die or sustain a life-altering injury from some preventable injury because an ignoramus was my service provider, I'm not free to do much anymore. We maximize societal freedom by preventing such nonsense.

@orangeandblackk @GovernorShapiro Salons don't just cut hair. They also do chemical treatments that can hurt people if done wrongly. This is why expertise and licensing matter. A free society is one where consumers don't have to live in fear, fear that service providers may have no clue what they're doing.

@AldConway This is alarming. What so many people - including the mayor apparently - don't realize is that having untrustworthy police makes solving crime more difficult. Victims and witnesses may fear contacting cops. And many smart and well-intentioned people won't join police forces.

@GrahamTiffanyC Give that man his Academy Award!

@njh2005 @jadler1969 This has happened for decades, so maybe the judiciary is already sullied. More importantly, even if this practice were to be decried in an ideal world, we're so far from that world that it's somewhat silly to mention it.
