      TechDirt is adding additional information that the Reason article didn’t have, including some facts in addition to the commentary.

      Just FYI, but reason magazine is a center of right libertarian news source owned by the Reason Foundation.

      In the past they have been highly critical of all things Urban, and were actively anti-mass transit, which I have found vexxing. Just keep that in mind when reading their media.

      Fun fact:

      Reason Foundation cofounder Robert Poole is an MIT-trained engineer and the author of Cutting Back City Hall.[7] The book provided the intellectual support for Margaret Thatcher’s privatization efforts in the United Kingdom.

        It’s true. On issues of police violence, right-libertarians and progressives tend to be pretty well aligned, though. Right-libertarian authors like Radley Balko have been beating that drum for many years.
