What protesters? I attended a march in NYC this weekend and the protesters demands included shifting $1 billion of the NYPD budget to community, education, and social welfare programs, and a $500 million investment fund for black businesses. No one was screaming to get rid of all cops everywhere forever.

Are you genuinely seeking to understand, or do you hols these protesters in too much disdain to actually listen to them?

Feel free to try and explain it away but to say no one is calling for this would at this point be willful blindness. I have complete freedom to think that many of the protests demands are dangerous, poorly thought out and outright foolish.

I didn’t say no one is calling for anything. I said they weren’t at the march I attended. I think you’re arguing against a strawman here. Most protesters are not demanding we have zero police.

And yes, you have the freedom to think anything you want.
