That’s not driven by a desire of cops to drive revenue. That’s a government problem.

Eh. That’s hyperbole. Of the 1,100 or so killed by police every year, ~95% of them were armed and attacking police or someone else.

I think the cure could be far worse than the disease. The Ferguson Effect seems to support that.

Paid protesters, unemployed scum, and people with nothing going in their lives. They use the shootings to throw out hate because they hate their own lives.

I’m willing to bet the majority of America supports the officer but also has issues with some policies.

No-knock warrants, random road check points, etc. I think that’s pretty reasonable.

And naturally....policies like that tend to be influenced by politicians

All of this is true and all of this is something that EVERY American should be concerned about. However, BLM has taken this a morphed it into something totally different. Which is why when someone asks me if I support BLM, I ask them what part: the civil libertarian part or the violent Marxist revolution part?

Please provide examples of tis war with the public. You got a speeding ticket one time and got your feelings hurt? Is that the war you are referring to? Dumb arse!

Please cite examples of "All True" examples.

The below exert is from a liberal source.

"Kirk cites the Post's database, which includes only people shot by police, not killed through other means like beating or tasering. He also cites a database that is incomplete. The number of unarmed Black men fatally shot by police is likely higher than the Post's count due to a lack of comprehensive police records, which Kirk does not acknowledge. Despite these issues, the Post's database shows police fatally shot 13 unarmed black men in 2019, not eight."

There are 13 million blacks in the US. This dude says 13 were shot, but this is wrong. There were 8.
