Every single action on the part of the media, the mayors, the NLG, the BLM/Antifa actors, and the FBI has been to demoralize the local police. It is a concerted effort, along with the “defund” movement to get them to quit and have violence in the street (probably trying to provoke a civil war).
The public reaction will be ... its not working, what are we going to do? And the answers proposed will either be the Antifa police from CHAD, a national police force, or a 1917 revolution. Be prepared.
How about sharia law?
