"If neoliberal America is engaging in a war on the vulnerable, vindicated by a murderous perversion of the frontier code, it is recruiting the rest of us to join in."

"Still, to suggest that the violence was unnecessary or entirely unjustified would be to misunderstand the complexity of the story. Even calling the actions "riots" rather than "rebellions" or "uprisings" obscures the principled outrage that animated many acts of resistance that occurred in the aftermath of Gray's death."

"Debate about whether those in power wanted to kill them or were simply indifferent to their well-being only serve to determine whether the violence done to them was direct State violence or a form of State-sponsored violence through willful ignorance."

"Again, issues of fairness, mercy, and justice become subordinate to neoliberal notions of efficiency."
