The key is to un-learn the academic habit of treating every proposition and argument offered as needing to be taken seriously and requiring a refutation, if false.
Note to self: Making sh*t up is a valuable research technique. Must use it more often.
So says Mark Kleiman.

The proposition that the dashcam was not working in the Danroy Henry case requires no refutation. It is ridiculous on its face.
The idea that something in a police department isn't working never strikes me as ridiculous.
