Wasn’t Balko a participant in that trajectory?

Not going to pretend I know all of Balko’s history, but I’ve always looked at him as basically anti-cop / anti-police state. Whenever I saw stuff from him it was always highlighting the injustices and excesses being exercised by police departments and other government agencies who can very easily remove freedom from people either through incarceration, legal robbery, or even death.
