Summarization
Law professor Butler has argued that former Vice President Pence is playing both sides with his refusal to testify to Congress and the grand jury. Butler has reviewed books concerning the failure of police reform efforts due to a reactionary workplace culture among law enforcement agencies. Butler is featured on various MSNBC programs and believes that police should always wear on body cameras and that civil damage awards could lead to policy change. He also emphasizes the need to defund, disarm and disband police in order to address the problem of increased police violence.

1625656807480762368 | Good point. @LawProfButler points out that Pence refuses to testify before congress because he was a member of the executive branch. Now he doesn't want to testify to the grand jury because he's pretending to be part of congress. He can't have it both ways. Fact is he's neither. | 18 |
