This may not turn out as badly as people think, in the long run. Have you seen the video of those suburban dads relaxing against their picket fences with rifles while protesters peacefully walk by? That's what happens if the pd steps down. These people step up. Do you trust them more than the police union protected cops? Wouldn't you rather get your tax dollars back and have better security?
Interesting point. I don't think that's a coincidence. Real mothers are concerned with their own children, sometimes overly, sometimes not. Non-mothers and governors pretending that citizens are their children are attempting to infantalize them. Perhaps their motherhood instinct, having no where to go, is sublimated into exaggerated concern for the actions of adults they have no maternal relationship to.
We need to find ways around censorship, this is one.
