The right has been pro police since day one. There is no world where the right was going to be in favor of criminal justice or police reform until it started affecting them.

This is so well known that during the protest in 2021, there were “white shields” where White people would stand in front of Black protestors because everyone knows that police would not beat White people because there would be consequences.

Sure. That doesn’t mean it’s a given that the disinterested middle will be swayed by them.

That we agree with. There is a huge difference between “we need to allocate funds for mental health and other societal ills that cause people to be incarcerated and we need to have more accountable for police misconduct” and “defund the police”.
