The left is demonizing cops. And way more cops are being killed now (which you denied). I can't prove a connection. But I know there's a connection.

The left believes the answer to violent crime, is smaller police presence. How many 1960s bad acid trips does it take, to believe something that stupid Bob?
First you repeat something that at best you heard or imagined about a democratic plan to make cops victims.
Because just like pointing out embedded racism in society makes you claim to be victimized, so does identifying an issue with police brutality puts police in the spotlight.

Police brutality exists and given the current climate that exists in policing with qualified immunity and strong unions it’s hard to change.

The current militarization and methods of policing need to change.
Every year expenditures go up and results go down.

But saying that pursuing change is claiming police are racist assassins is the way to ensure that rational change cannot happen.
