Plus idk where you live but cops here don’t particularly like protests, even peaceful ones result in arrests.

Portland. Cops here murder mentally illl people all the freaking time. They were put under a federal consent decree with the USDOJ, supervised by a good federal judge. Gess what happened? They actually killed MORE mentally ill people after the decree was entered into. They have no fear, becaue they know they will never be prosecuted by their fanboy DA's. The police union has negotited terms that essentially promote the murder of mentally ill citizens.
