Akron has 228 officers per 100k residents. That's more officers per population than 86% of police departments. Ohio is a bipartisan police state.

There’s already a bill—the Bivens Act—tailor-made to create a constitutional cause of action against federal officials and nothing more (or less). It adds 5 words to Section 1983. Congress should pass it.

Malcolm Gladwell just published a new book and gone on one popular show after another arguing that the U.S. needs to massively expand the profitable police surveillance state. The entire argument is based on an embarrassing factual error.
