The Coming Police RebellionAs the summer wears on and the demonstrations continue without any sign of progress the current 'peaceful' demonstrations will relapse into mayhem and aggression against the police will intensify.
What happens when Derek Chauvin is found guilty of 2nd degree murder by a jury that will convict just to buy peace. Every cop in America knows that there's no way to prove Chauvin killed Floyd with intent so that a conviction on 2nd degree would be absoutely bogus. The correct charge is 3rd degree.
How long before the 99.999% of police who had nothing to do with George Floyd's death tire to the point of breaking with the relentless accusations, insults and physical abuse they've been suffering so quietly. Will they riot a la Chicago 1968 and go on a head-bashing spree? Will they quit in droves and abandon their cities to thousands of rioters and arsonists?
The demonstrators are demanding that American cities defund the police. Given the demographics of major American cities the demonstrators may get their wish. This may not end well.
