Two thoughts:
1. I don't think I'll be able to take Boots Riley's thoughts on police violence after he bootlicked the Venezuelan government during that country's mass protest
2. This thread is a @BadEconTakes bonanza https://twitter.com/BootsRiley/status/1266851333438500865

Half this thread is thoughtful takes, the other outright nonsense. Furthermore far leftists will always take a stand against police violence UNLESS it's a government representing their ideals. Then they become bootlickers just as much as the Blue Lives Matter crowd

More broadly for *any* side mass protest/civil unrest for a cause they oppose is almost always blamed on some nefarious rabble rouser agent. It's not a mass movement against a tyrannical government/racist police, it's CIA/antifa trying to disrupt the established order

*take his thoughts seriously
