From the Editorial Board: We watched what happened when Laquan McDonald was murdered by a police officer in Chicago in 2014. This felt to us like we were watching it all over again, just a few hundred miles to our north.

MAGA politics is an ongoing triangulation between what crooks and bigots want and what the rest of us will tolerate. That's why you're seeing such a desperate pivot after Trump's thugs executed a man on a Minneapolis street. The MAGA pols don't oppose it – they just know it looks bad.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
