It's wild how media was able to memoryhole the 2020 mass protests, kill support for police reform with breathless reporting of an "unprecedented crime wave," and establishment Dems were baited into giving historically unprecedented increases to police budgets in response, only to be accused of supporting Defund the Police anyways.

Yes, the slogan was bad optics and made for excellent Republican attack slogadns played over footage of the Kenosha riot. But when you actually dig down and look, does it not make a good point?

EDIT: It goes to show just how invested the political establishment of both parties is in maintaining the status quo. The George Floyd protests scared the shit out of our moneyed interests, and they pushed HARD to turn white liberals off it and double down on the police and surveillance state. Our police state protects capitalism; the white supremacy it upholds is an acceptable cost of doing business for them.
