The vast majority of the city police in question do not work for conservatives, they work for Democrat city councils and mayors. There is absolutely nothing stopping Democrats from pulling the police off the streets and/or downsizing the response. Why aren't they doing it? The police aren't out there responding of their own accord, they are there because they are told to be. This is not a conservative vs protest issue, this is a Democrat vs protest issue. The Trump-specific nonsense aside, conservatives have literally nothing to do with the vast majority of these confrontations. Why don't the Democrats in charge simply pull the police completely off of the protests? Keep them several miles away so we can see the peaceful protests play out?
