Americans went ACAB for half a year and now even police reform isnt on the minds of most of them.
the culture war and media beat Americans into submission to the point that only like 20% were supporting the protests by the end, whereas 70% supported burning down the precinct. Democrats and corporations got their grubby hands on it and started coopting everything, and the rightwing media went into overdrive with racist propaganda and pro-cop nonsense.
Americans are fickle and stupid and easily swayed. I take little hope in this flash in the pan because they've never shown any serious longevity or adherence to an actual coordinated project, they just wash around in the tide.
