(7,794 posts)There would have been too many cops doing too much bullying, being too afraid for their safety. Someone may have reached a breaking point and acting out. That could have caused a reaction which would have been too much for the cops who'd call for more cops. Someone's property may then get damaged, and the media would talk of a riot while guns get drawn and open warfare starts in the street.

BTW, if this were to become a George Floyd moment it would then be upon the Biden people to bring order, no one else can because too many don't even want to. These are tense times and way too many folks have guns without guidance. Imagine waking up from your Fox induced coma to find you've bought a gun you can't afford for a reason that doesn't make sense and committed a homicide you don't understand.
