“I did not kill him.”
[Late-morning update]
Glenn Loury: I must object.
This is good news, if true. It could explain why it hasn’t been worse, and probably won’t get worse.
When I saw the headline, I wondered where in LA it was. But the hed is wrong; Redlands is nowhere near LA. It’s east of San Bernardino.
It does look suspicious, though.
Is it libertarian?
Why no, no it’s not. As he points out, there are a number of things we could do to solve the problem that are libertarian, but that isn’t one of them.
[Update a couple minutes later]

Good luck with that.
[Another update a couple minutes later]
Defunding the police would be a disaster for black people in particular.
Why yes, yes it would.
[Noon update]
Four questions for the Democrats, the media, and BLM.
Don’t expect them to have any good answers.
Thoughts from Wretchard the Cat.

I watched some of the testimony this morning. Basically, he played dumb bureaucrat who got played by the FBI. In so doing, he threw McCabe under the bus. He’ll be a key witness at trial. The deer-in-the-headlights look as Ted Cruz excoriated him was amusing.
I wish that I was surprised that the Democrats attempted to downplay what happened. They used to pretend to care about the use of foreign-surveillance techniques to spy on Americans. I guess Orange Man Bad covers all sins.

Rosenstein: I’m accountable, but not responsible.
What a mealy-mouthed twerp.
[Bumped]
Excoriates the idiot gun grabbers.
At this point, it’s impossible to take lock-down orders seriously.
