"In recent years, conservative opinion leaders have been more willing to question authority. They're more skeptical of the police and the military, and don't just accept everything these institutions do as being in service of their 'protect and serve' purposes. And the way conservative opinion leaders have reacted to Ferguson illustrate this reordering....Notable is the fact that traditional conservative commentators seem to have adopted a more nuanced take these days — as opposed to the almost knee-jerk support of the police you might have expected a few years ago." Matt K.
