They had the predetermined narrative that cops are heros again so whatever happened last year with the George Floyd uprising can be laid to rest. Painting the cops as complicit in the Jan 6 riot would only underline that all cops are indeed bastards, and no matter how many cops we have, they will never keep us safe. So that detail was memory-holed.
God forbid you give Liberals the idea that cops are a threat to Liberal Democracy itself. They clearly don't give a fuck about ethnic minorities, people of color, lgbtqia+ people, etc, but if you threaten to take away the sole pretext that they're trying, they might actually start listening to abolitionists. And if that happened, the six corporations in a trenchcoat who run our media might be in trouble.
