While I tend to start at the CATO blog I usually end up one of the sites they point too. Libertarian sites like CATO have always been interested in the abuse and injustice of the system. I know there are some knee jerk not fans of CATO but you really are missing out.
to summarize our times the simple comic on this page illustrates how the system can threaten everyone https://www.cato.org/blog/when-our-rights-become-crimes https://www.cato.org/blog/when-our-rights-become-crimes
even reason.com is good for much. still it comes down to reading all sides and you will see a common theme even they are coming at it from different directions. the thing to remember is government segregate us more than anyone else and politicians play off the fears of one group versus another to perpetuate the system.
Favorite site for police issue and how preposterous the system is.

- anigbrowl 9y agoI like Cato because while they're libertarian they're also sincere, ie they also stand up and take lumps for an open-borders immigration policy and call out institutional racism and so on. Most libertarian sites and writers, though, just offer anti-government claptrap on top of some shallow tropes of rugged individualism. If you want to find out how serious a libertarian is, make them tell you how they'd deal with the problem of crime, using real-world examples of vulnerable people and populations. I'm in favor of governance that maximises liberty, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. People who say they want to abolish government are either living in a fantasy world or aim to set up an autocratic government of their own, sometimes both.
