Please bother to read context of the thread and understand that I meant to explain why someone might be afraid of Trump being reflected. Not that Biden is actually better or worse in any way.

Fascist street gangs and right wing militias are scarier to the average american than the police. You can argue that its misplaced fear all you want but it doesnt change what people think.

For that matter I doubt that police killings went up because of Biden and not because of knock on economic effects of covid. In this neoliberal political economy the president has all the power in international relations but next to none domestically.

The average American can't be scared of those militias because the average American doesn't think about or know anything about those fascist street gangs

So Biden giving the police unprecedented record federal funding has no effect on their conduct or reach?

In this neoliberal political economy the president has all the power in international relations but next to none domestically.

Again, this undermines your points, not mine
