Omg what do you not understand? Outdoors and indoors are not the same thing at all. Protesting outside is low risk.
Basic math simply based on the exponentially larger number of protesters relative to how many people have gathered at live Trump rallies woulds still disagree with you.
Advanced math would point out that a Trump rally is still in a huge dome and that it is either just as good as an outdoor rally or still exponentially better than a small building, like a restaurant, would be.

I’d say you’ve chosen a product you agree with and are here to tell us about it.
And I say just watch where the political left takes the party in the next 10 years. You can start by watching Seattle now that they're about to cut the police budget by 50%
Those darn liberals and their spending cuts. 🤦♂️

I am so reviving this thread after Seattle gets trashed to pieces.

I have this feeling leftists will blame anyone but themselves when crime skyrockets in the city and businesses decide to move elsewhere.

For all my American amigos, wait until unemployment comes to an end (which should be soon). Everyone's going to start losing their minds.

You really have to distract from the topic at hand to even have a chance of knocking me over, don't you?
You mean like whining about protestors wearing masks to distract from police brutality?

It is not only intellectually dishonest but shows a major lack of integrity.
There is a process for submitting articles that involves a review of said articles before they are posted. (Most of the time.)
I MIGHT be able to write it off as human error if EVERY MAJOR MEDIA OUTLET wasn't doing the same thing.
Peer reviewed articles like this? Black Lives Matter Protests, Social Distancing, and COVID-19
Quote:
This study uses newly collected data on protests in 315 of the largest U.S. cities to estimate the impacts of mass protests on social distancing and COVID-19 case growth. [...] [W]e find no evidence that urban protests reignited COVID-19 case growth during the more than three weeks following protest onset. We conclude that predictions of broad negative public health consequences of Black Lives Matter protests were far too narrowly conceived.
A simple look at a map of the national covid-19 case increases shows no correlation with the recent protests. DC and New York are down - Idaho and Florida are up. There's a much greater correlation between States reopening and an increase in covid cases.

I'm confused - Detroit has police but you're using the city as a caution towards the dangers of police abolition. It rather seems you've just made an argument against the effectiveness of police.

Detroit is Detroit for many other factors.
Go ahead and cut the police budget by 50% there, too. See what happens.

What actually happens in the real world outside of this hyperbolic fantasy land is that morale for police stations deceases and a lot of experienced members retire.
I wouldn't be surprised if the other half of Seattle's Police department all quit due to how bad they are being treated by their own civilians they've been sword to protect.
End the drug war, but we need cops for pretty much everything else.
Poor people suffer the most when you take the cops away, you know.

Police have no legal obligation to protect citizens.
And why the hell would they? If police get involved in violent crimes, they might become victims as well. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six, gotta survive the shift, all that.
If I was a cop, I wouldn't stop a dude from stabbing someone else. I'd just empty all my magazines in their general direction until everything went away and I could go on paid leave.
