Am I missing any canned strawmans to deflect from the point of the protests?:
-So you support looting? -Cops kill white people too. -It's just a few bad apples. -How does violence accomplish their goal? -George Floyd broke the law in the past. Preexisting conditions and drugs too. -Antifa did it. Bill Gates bought them the bricks. -Protests mean COVID isn't real don't they? -It's all a plot against Trump -We'd all die if there were no cops. WHY DO YOU WANT NO COPS?
That's what I got from an hour watching right-wing news and reading certain posters in this thread.
And yes, the same type of thing happens on the left when a major issue that's somehow deemed "right wing" comes up.
The fact that people choose to mostly ignore what hundreds of thousands, probably millions of people are peacefully demanding because a relatively minuscule number of shitty people are taking the opportunity to be shitty (while almost all actual protesters are condeming their actions)... it's just weird to me. If we actually addressed systemic injustice we'd likely have a country that is far more educated, financially better off, and far less likely to even produce hoards of looters in the first place. This same situation will play out every X amount of years or even months if changes don't start happening... and the same people will continue to pretend to be confused and outraged when it happens.
It's such a strange time in history where people are so loyal to their teams and so in fear of the fragile grip their team has on power that they need to blindly fall in line with certain ideologies because not doing so would require admitting the other side is right, instead of both sides banding together on things that will benefit the non-elites in society as a whole. Police and justice reform could save taxpayers billions of dollars, leave less people unjustly attacked (physically and legally) by cops, and lead to a more competent and motivated group of people protecting our rights and safety.
Political parties should be designated as organized crime cartels and we should start from scratch. At this point that's really the only way I see this country surviving the ever-growing mountain of current issues that will lead to disaster if not handled effectively and quickly. Nothing gets accomplished when we're all divided into 2 teams that have been pitted against each other. Things have been bubbling up in so many ways for awhile... I think we're far past the point where we can all just coast through without giving a fuck and pass the buck to the next generation.

LOL. Brilliant. I appreciate you typing that.

There’s a lot of gaslighting going on concerning what happened in Lafayette square on Monday night, with the police and the White House claiming the protesters were violently attacking police and no tear gas was used to disperse them. There was no violence and tear gas/chemical irritants was used on the crowd minutes after Trump told reporters he was about to go visit “a special place.” After the park was cleared, trump walked across the square to St. John’s church for his photo op. The fact is the park was cleared solely so Trump could go for his walk.
Sadly, people on this website are perfectly willing to push this lie here

Do you think he may be gaslighting?

The mayor of DC is so pissed about what happened and the militarization of law enforcement in the city she has refused to impose a curfew tonight.

Won't happen in our lifetime. Zero chance. Less than zero actually if that's possible.
I have a better chance of hitting this week's powerball than police being abolished nationwide in this country.
The odds of winning the powerball are something like 1 in 292,201,338.
The odds of police being entirely abolished here in our lifetimes is 0 in 292,201,338.

I hear that mayors really don't have any control of their police departments. They're essentially powerless in most cases.
