Context: 3 :thumb-cop: go into the restaurant strapped (never know when you might need to extrajudicially murder your sandwich), staff asks them to please leave since firearms are not allowed inside, thin blue skin gets feelings hurt, there is a backlash from our brain poisoned reactionary public, restaurant forced to apologize.

      It's this. I know people who previously hated cops, but after the BLM protests last year became like "well I know there are some bad apples out there, but the police are a necessary force in society".

      And in addition, I would say it's even a little broader than BLM; once you realize that white suburbanites see the cops as their own little enclave army, tasked with keeping any non-white folks who dare trespass in their territory to be put in their place.
