"Masses of Minneapolis Police from all precincts, including SWAT and a State Patrol surveillance helicopter, swarmed a protest for the police killing of Tyre Nichols as it was about to start in SE Minneapolis in single digit temps. No officers were seen getting out of their vehicles & no arrests. Crowd dispersed."

    Of course the public has a constituency for radical reform but people's opinion matters little when faced with raw power . Without proper organization police will never be abolished even if 99% of people favor it(it's also notable that it still wasn't a majority) . We've seen that over and over again in American politics alone . Policy's can be favored by the majority and they will not be passed no matter how much a liberals heart appear to bleed
