the two positions here:
-pro-cop, the position that all major politicians and media want you to have
-pro-protestor, the position going against the established societal power structure

only one of those is indoctrinated.

Only a sith deals in absolutes...

In all seriousness though...seriously? Those are not the only two categories. This situation is very, VERY nuanced. Basically ALL of America stood up and said Floyd was murdered, and the police brutality has gone far enough. This is why protests spanned from one coast to the other, and everywhere in between.

Once people started rioting, and burning the police precinct down, most of America still lined up on mostly the same side. Some may have looked down on that particular action, but just about everyone understood, and nobody said much.

It wasnt until the riots stopped targeting government establishments like courthouses, precincts, etc., and began targeting small businesses, and places where people lived, and make their living, that Americans began to split on the issueand just because you oppose the idea of burning all of America to the ground, doesnt mean youre an establishment bootlicker, bending over for the government or the police. It just means theyve recognized people that dont deserve to be fucked over, are getting fucked over, and want that specific aspect of the movement to check itself, and stick with their original plans.

If the people rioting were just hitting heads with the police and the government, and left citizens and businesses out of it, this thing would still be moving full steam, with no stop in sight.
