Escalation, deescalation

Yes, this. I think Trump & Co were trying to turn this into the civil war they need. For a few minutes there, it seemed like it might go there. And I am feeling more hopeful than in a long time,despite the ongoing horrors. And not just for a peaceful regime change. I feel like most Americans are realizing we’ve lost control of the police.

Even generally pro-cop colleagues that think “defunding” the police is “crazy” are agreeing that we do need a basic restructuring of the police, including disarming beat cops.
