    Remember when there was a very large mass movement to challenge unchecked police power, quickly followed by a Thermidorian Reaction by elite pundits and political leaders (of both parties) to delegitimize this movement? That was wild.

        Correct. No one who can actually change things for the better. We are though.

        Somewhat related question: Is there a great one-volume history of the French Revolution (in English)?

        You have to be kidding. You cannot still seriously believe, in the year 2022, that "defund the police" was a good idea.

        Biden signed in "Peace Officers Day" and told them to get out and buy more stuff from Federal handouts for protection against increased summer violence. That's our "liberal" president.

        the net effect of the Floyd murder and protests was to actually move the Democratic establishment to the right on policing. like, just a few days before Uvalde, you had Eric Swalwell dunking on the GOP for not backing a police funding bill.

        I don't think they moved right - that's where they've been since the 90's
