In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
This decade has seen riots and chaos, from the George Floyd riots to J6. Sixty years ago, other protests turned riots resulted in violent confrontations and calls for an independent “people’s” board to review police actions in New York City, which were ultimately rejected by the voters. But this was a hotly debated topic as the debate between William F. Buckley, Jr. and Theodore Woodrow Kheel demonstrated when they discussed the question of a Civilian Review Board: Yes or No?
Until next Friday.
