Or is there dialog that needs to happen and policing policy changes that need to happen. It's not radical to demand police stop killing people. I keep banging my head against why nothing is happening, why no change, no talks from a governmental level. The protests aren't getting less violent and more videos are inevitably going to keep surfacing, a person dies everyday as a result of police interactions. This is an ongoing problem, even if all police shootings are justified, the resulting protests are a problem.

Is it unreasonable to believe Trump is letting cities flounder, stoking violence, perpetuating riots for political end. It's definitely galvanizing his base and turning away moderates from BLM's message. I just don't understand why there's not a clearer effort to talk towards policy changes.

When Trump wants to send guardsmen in to break up riots, he'd a violent dictator. Now he's 'letting cities flounder'. Lose lose.
