I want to explain why we published the piece today by Senator Tom Cotton. https://nyti.ms/3dyvJ5Z
The Times editorial board has forcefully defended the protests as patriotic and criticized the use of force, saying earlier today that police too often have “responded with more violence — against protesters, journalists and bystanders.” https://nyti.ms/3cvhjlR
We’ve also crusaded for years against the underlying, systemic cruelties that led to these protests.

As part of our explorations of these issues, Times Opinion has published powerful arguments supporting protests, advocating fundamental change and criticizing police abuses.

Times Opinion owes it to our readers to show them counter-arguments, particularly those made by people in a position to set policy.
We understand that many readers find Senator Cotton's argument painful, even dangerous. We believe that is one reason it requires public scrutiny and debate.
