How do you stop extremists from joining the ranks of the police? Some interesting thoughts from Jared Holt.

Jared Holt @jaredlholt

We should seek to purge extremism ties and sympathies from law enforcement, but to do so without running afoul of civil liberties. It's a complicated needle to thread, and this NYT story does a great job at showing that struggle. We can get there, but we need to do it right.

The New York Times @nytimes

Lawmakers in four states and Washington, D.C., want to give law enforcement agencies more power to exclude people with extremist ties from police ranks. But the proposals they thought were straightforward have encountered a thicket of obstacles. https://t.co/ErKDrnQqQP
