> BLM wanted the community to have no police presence

…no? I heard a lot of people talking about better allocation of resources so the police aren’t dealing with homeless people, the mentally ill, not arming them with army-level tanks, etc etc. Yeah, there are/were extremists, same as every movement. Seems like a waste of everyone’s time to focus on them, though.

If all you’re willing to see is the right wing trope of a movement there’s never going to be any progress.

That's my conspiracy theory. Eventually the government is gonna swing back hard. We did fucking elect a cop as mayor.
