“To condemn the #rioting—which I believe to be a moral and political imperative—is not at all the same thing as opposing the #protests. Many observers have been reluctant to do the former because they wish to avoid the latter. I maintain that this is a grave mistake. […] #Progressive intellectuals who make excuses for #streetviolence, even in the face of the awful killing of #GeorgeFloyd, are making a monumental moral and political error.”
