Proper DOJ oversight and investigation makes a big difference.
Therefore, who wins the presidency and his/her DOJ is a very important factor.
If Biden doesn't win because there is a high crime rate at the time of the election and he hasn't addressed that to the satisfaction of voters, the protests are unlikely to have much effect on bad police departments and may actually have been counterproductive in causing police to cut back against crime.

I'll re-pimp my own link, since i do think using the same "gloves off" police approach across disparate communities seems like a recipe for awful results.
If the DoJ doesnt correct this mismatched approach, "oversight" seems to be counting bodies and managing protests. No one wants to be on the receiving end of look-for-any-infraction escalating confrontational police tactics, for good reason.

Welcome!
I am just getting so spooked watching CNN documentary on 1968 including the Dem convention. Memories coming back, as a teenybopper thinking the student rioters were oh so righteous and romantic, the Chicago cops were pigs, why not protest, as Humphrey was a shoe-in to win, nobody was going to vote for Nixon anyways.

all the same words--Delegates talking about "law and order", Dan Rather saying Humphrey wants to be a "healer "of the country,. Humphrey now associated with the "chaos" of the protests at the convention and the" unrest" on the streets in general etc. etc.
Edit to add: oy, now they are bringing up memories of Wallace as the spoiler, forgot about that..while Humphrey is getting heckled by lefties everywhere, George has the racist vote all locked up and then steals some northern working class Dem white votes who are angry about the privileged hippy college students tearing up their world who, Wallace says, need new to learn some new four-letter words like "WORK" and 'SOAP"

here's how the GOP is using the BLM protests, very similar to BLM, they don't address most of the P.D.'s in the list above, they are picking on blue cities

If this is true, and was enabled everywhere, also should be said:
the people have to get out and vote in local elections, not just the main national ones. Plenty of already enfranchised (of all colors) don't do that. Just can't seem to find the time to vote in local elections, is a very common thing.
