If you don't want businesses damaged in some of these blue cities you claim to so love, then support keeping the police well-behaved.You must have missed my lack of concern about where you live turning into a police state because that's what you've been voting for, allowing and supporting for years. I hope posters are also able to read "especially in black neighborhoods" and associate it with racial bias and understand/identify who wrote it and which side he's on. As I read further, I ask myself a question "since when have the crooks and criminals become more valuable/important than police and law enforcement and why is that?" I assume it has something to do with Democratic politics and its need for political alliances with unsavory groups of voters to keep itself in power.
It seems we live in a police state pretty much wherever we live. Progressives keep trying to put restraints on police, but the police culture seems to cross all boundaries and city lines. The BLM movement may bring change to some blue cities. It is the only thing that will.
Democrats don't make alliances with unsavory groups, and Democrats in cities and Biden at the national level have and would support law enforcement. The best support now is to make reforms so police don't kill innocent people. Law enforcement does not need to be unjust, racist and/or illegal to carry out its work.
There is no doubt, unless you live in a bubble, that the main problem with police misconduct today happens in black neighborhoods. Or, what planet did you say you live on, now?
