A lot of cops have to be completely blackpilled by now, and if they didn't view us (civilians) as the enemy before, they will now.
Sad part is that there are cops who agree that what happened to George Floyd was wrong and that the (peaceful) protestors have valid concerns. However, the idea of "ACAB" and defunding all police probably makes it more tempting to become blackpilled -- even for those that still look at the situation objectively.
There's also other issues like cops refusing to rat out other cops, corruption, etc.
My state wants to push through legislation that would allow (or maybe require?) police to intervene in situations such as the George Floyd one. I see this as a potential slippery slope and something that could easily get politicized or used for personal vendettas.
Where the fuck do the millions being put into BLM even go to? Who's the receiver of that payment transfer?
In $CURRENT_YEAR, it's considered wrong to ask "activists" where their donations are going. We have posts about artists, grifters, and e-beggers who constantly demand money but find it -ist of some sort to have people ask for financial accountability even if it's a valid question or concern.
This is so dumb, all the goods that aren't purchased that day will just be bought the day before or after completely negating the (tiny) effect it would have.
In addition to this, one day won't make a dent in the overall numbers/economy. I did some approximations and a one-day boycott using their $1.2 Trillion number comes out to an impact of roughly $6.6 million per state in one day. In larger states such as Texas, California, and New York, that number is likely a drop in the bucket that would barely cause a blip -- especially in light of the two months (or more) of shutdowns resulting from COVID-19.

@ConsoleWarVet said, it's no different than those that sent out e-mails imploring their friends not to buy gas on a certain day in an attempt to drive down the price. It may sound nice, but it's impractical and won't work as intended due to the nature of macroeconomics.
