It seems to be political by jurisdiction.

Kneel for BLM in summer, stand by for riots for months on end - but bust out the riot gear and hardline control for patriots peacefully protesting lockdowns or corrupt state legislatures. Other areas sometimes complete opposite - but every area should be the opposite.

"Just following orders" is not a defense as said. Time to pick a side - law and order, freedom and the Constitution - or communism and global organized crime. It is really as easy as that. And people are going to remember your choice.
