In case you forgot how all our police departments ended up with war materiel that they are not trained to use properly & which have NO PURPOSE on civilian streets in America. Tanks were even shipped to the little peaceful island of Maui - we protested! https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/09/us/war-gear-flows-to-police-departments.html?referringSource=articleShare

As protesters in the late 60s and early 70s, we thought the cops were bad then. (And they were, eg killing students at Kent State.) But they didn’t have the weaponry or the hatred of the citizenry that we see now. This is gonna take a long time to sort out and undo.

David nails a lot more detail here in this thread. Vote Blue is no panacea to the problem of police violence against us citizens.
