Radley Balko, a defender of liberty best known for his book Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America’s Police Forces, has been fired by the Washington Post. Balko writes: “So after nine years, I’m being let go by the Washington Post. This is disappointing but not surprising. In recent years, the Opinion leadership has made it increasingly difficult to do the reporting & in-depth analysis I was hired to do -- in favor of short, hot takes.”
