The left's always been in favour of using state force against a population. They're way more pro-police than perceived. They only were anti-police for the BLM movement because it's an means to an end, it's destabilization that they need to further empower the state and bring forward communism. Also it helps root out the good cops from police forces. The good cops become so demoralized that they quit, only to be replaced by some leftist thugs. The right knows the narrative that all cops are racist is insane and wrong, and the impulse is to defend the police against the media narrative. The right failed to think about cops becoming the enforcement arm of communist politicians.
