Colorado repealed police immunity and there is a bill being worked on in the house.

Lack of police accountability will be a major voting point that politicians will need to cater to in November

They're just doing this but with BLM movements. They're like "Nothing happened immediately so everything was for nothing and stupid. Derpa derpa I have limited hindsight"

I like how you say "black characters" just to push the narrative that this only has to do with helping black people. I seen more reports about asian characters tbh.

This and several major cities have already defunded the police to create public health officers to tackle the problems police officers aren't equipped to handle.

Idk feels like things are finally leaning towards change.

Theres actual talk of police reform, murals being taken down, Juneteenth getting a push to be a recognized holiday.

To me though its all for nothing if theres no actual police reform

I do so with tongue in cheek. It's a funny narrative to push.

Considering neither of those companies are blaming the protesters or the movement itself, I think you're both off base here.

Platitudes don't matter.
All that does matter is whether or not Target rebuilds the store right there, or builds a new one fifteen miles down the interstate.

Are you serious? Of course they wouldnt, no busines would unless they want to be labeled racist in mainstream and get more of their busineses burned down. Or for individual people end up fired or canceled.

So of course their going to support them and bend the knee.

These are great.

But yeah, a few cities and even some states have taken steps to actually address the protesters concerns. They will need to be watched carefully to insure they don't just backslide, which is probably what they want to do, but the very fact that the image of the "cop as hero" has been shattered is huge. We're going to see a lot of different approaches to reform in the coming months and years and some will be partially successful and others won't be, but even just not pretending everything is perfectly fine the way it is is a huge goddamned process in America.

Polarizing identity politics used to benefit Democratic leadership and not so much anyone else.

BLM used to mean something but has been taken over by far-left groups.

They'd loot and burn the same businesses that have already been looted and burned? Lol ok...

Every business hasn't supported BLM so please stop with that. They most certainly could have condemned the rioting and still said they support peaceful protests, as others have. You're playing the "mind reading" game just to prove your bias.

Well we haven't seen them refuse to do so either, so you're point still isn't a proven one.

Police reform, step one:
Eliminate military-style rank structures.

more than trumpanzee brainless fucks (basically flat earthers) ever will:

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-06-24/qa-what-has-congress-done-about-local-police-brutality-and-what-can-it-actually-do

and this is DURING a republican reign

Important part:

First off, does Congress have the power to tell local police departments what to do?
Kind of. Its complicated.
The U.S. Constitution doesnt give the federal government power over local or state police. And the 10th Amendment says any authority not specifically granted in the Constitution is left to the states, so Congress has little direct authority over state and local police.
But what they do have is control over money the federal government sends the states, and grants from the Justice Department are often a significant chunk of local police budgets.
So they cant tell police what to do, but Congress can withhold money unless police departments act in a certain way.

The federal government has no authority over local cops, other than extortion under threat of withdrawing the federal teat.

At this point, I'm fairly sure the republicans have stolen the Cloward-Piven strategy in an attempt to bloat the debt into full on default, as justification for austerity.
