And like it or not, the single meme from "the movement" that seems to have caught on as being pushed by his opponents is: defund the police. And the Trump campaign and media like Fox News is going to play that.

Edit to add: if the Dem party would like to give off the message that it should be "reform the police" rather than "defund the police", they've got a heckuva lot of P.R. work to do, including getting a lot of protesters on board and somehow reigning in a lot of the vigilante activism still occurring by educated young people.

A lot could happen with crime rates by election time. Unless everyone gets scared by a huge number of coronavirus deaths and starts hibernating again. (In which case, it should be mentioned: there still be a lot of deaths among African-Americans as well as everyone else!)

Chicago and New York City crime numbers are way up. 67 people shot in Chicago, 13 killed. Shootings up significantly in NYC where people are demanding that @NYGovCuomo & @NYCMayor act now. Federal Government ready, willing and able to help, if asked!

New York City saw 205 shootings in the month of June, making it the city's "bloodiest June" since 1996. https://t.co/EOO16baaIg
