Yes. And that which is taking place in Minneapolis-and not simply in Minneapolis, but most pointedly in Minneapolis-ought not be framed as: "Is that lawful?" It ought to be framed as: "Is that right?" Are we going to allow a masked, heavily armed secret police force to march through the city all but unchecked, and checked only by the voluntary surveillance-to the extent they are checked-by plain citizens at their peril? A secret police force that, at least it appears at this point, enjoys absolute impunity? Those are profoundly moral questions. Those are moral judgements.
