Making Sense of Experts’ Nonsense
It’s not uncommon for experts to disagree. That’s why you get second opinions. Or should.

If there is a more insightful tract for today’s tangled and tortured times, I don’t know what it is.

The author, Heather Mac Donald, is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, best-selling author and one of the most respected thinkers and writers on America’s criminal justice system.
She has been covering the issues of policing and race relations for over 20 years and is rigorous in her investigation and analysis of the data.
In the past three months, the attacks on cops and law and order have exploded to levels rarely seen in American history.
Peaceful protests have morphed into rioting, looting, shooting, arson, chaos and anarchy.
