re: Protestors and the Silent Majority - we have been doing this wrong, look at the numbers

Probably both, but that doesn't change that the police / criminal justice system isn't working and needs major overall. See failed war on drugs, for profit prisons, our prison population relative to other countries, etc. Plus police reform is actually something you can implement.

We are wasting so much money and seeing no kind of positive results. Certainly not the only areas we need reform either. Don't mind the protests if they are able to get some needed reforms - definitely not a fan of the violence that has come along with it though.
