    Thanks for these links. I published a piece on recent protest tactics, the police response in NYC, and what the protests tell us about racialized economic vulnerability. It came out the day before the murder of the two officers in Brooklyn, which meant that my prediction in it of an alteration of the police response has come true sooner than I’d expected.
