This article is full of beliefs that I think it's very questionable to say that "most of the board" agrees with.
The problem you have, is you participate in threads which interest you, mainly threads dealing with racial injustice that you start and attract posters that obviously care a great deal about arguing with you.
If you have been here for a few years and participated in a wide variety of threads you would find this issue has been discussed, and argued...many times over. It mainly deals with the WoD's and it's affect on black communities.

I've watched many of the Ferguson (and related threads) with interest. Are you saying they are poor cross-sections of board opinion? Because my takeaway form those threads in no way mimics what Koch says in the article. Sure, there are a lot of few folks who in theory care about curtailing police power and ending the war on drugs...but they often go to great pains to deny ANY racial component. Many of them also seem to quickly default to pro-police stances when push comes to shove.
Again, the typical response isn't "yeah, black communities have been decimated by an asymmetrically-fought war on drugs". Much more typical would be "cops go where the crime is", effectively making the OPPOSITE assertion to what you are saying.
I hope what you are saying is true, but I don't see it.
