In his defense, taken at face value this letter can read pretty harmlessly (if one does not read too close), and certainly not all its concerns are unfounded. On the other hand, he should know better than to read this at face value, goddammit. The letter, ironically, uses the same tactic that cancel culture does. In the same way that one can go from "so-and-so ships two underage characters" to "so-and-so is a sexual abuser and a pedophile", so here we have "so-and-so is vocally opposed to uncritical support of police violence" becoming "so-and-so is taking away freedom of speech".
