People like Mychal Denzel Smith no longer operate in reality... while writing for outlets like The Atlantic.

Par for the course in our media now

This dude went on Dr. Phil and literally laid down the abolish the police position of “No one will need to commit crimes once we achieve our Utopia”. Now, the question of whether Michael even believes in this empty juvenile nonsense he regurgitates is a separate discussion (I don’t believe he does myself, he is simply serving in the role of carnival barker/agitator), buy regardless of his own depth of fraud, the fact is these voices get elevated in our major media outlets now. Very few people agree with these idiots, yet we get pummled by them in our media sphere daily. Why? What explains that? These are the critical questions to unwind.

When asked “What would you have us do with the police?,” I make a point of saying, unequivocally, “Abolish them,” because that is what I mean. I seek a world without police . . . In the past, I have been accused of hating the police. And I do.”

These aren’t just ideologues, they are sociopaths. Extremely dishonest ones.
