"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."
And yet, not only did nothing happen, but in fact the police are even more entrenched than they were before, with protests cracked down on even faster than they can coalesce. Activist leaders are all still in jail and their communities infiltrated by undercovers.
2020 was the exception here, a small fracture that nobody was expecting. That fracture, for the meantime, is completely gone.
"Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed!"
