Cops are not punished for cowardice in the face of school shootings, because when local elections come 'round liberal voters are too meek to oppose them and conservative voters don't care.
Cops are punished for failure to brutalize protesters, because when local elections come 'round liberal voters are too meek to support de-escalation and conservative voters care.
... amongst many other reasons.
So are the folks protesting in LA "meek liberal voters", or "conservative voters that don't care"?
The folks protesting in LA are likely not the majority of any given election, especially considering LA's recent elections putting 'tough on crime' ghouls into positions of local power.
