by cops… who are typically directed to do so by mayors… who are usually dems…
“these right wingers” are just predominantly brown leftists you disagree with. Did you even read the article?
If you’ve ever lived in a strongly blue major city for any length of time you’ll have seen this play out. Liberal mayor runs on big promises of reform, of progressive policy, maybe even of radical change, and a few years later there’s another incident, more unrest, whatever, and they’re first in line to have the cops put it down with force. There’s a whole interplay with right wing media and racist voters and other factors, but time and time again dem local governments choose to enact “law and order” overpolicing over solving the fundamental systemic issues causing violence, property crime, etc
I’ll say it again
Did you even read the article? Do you have anything to say about the example discussed in it?
