This may have been posted here, but in Asheville cops roughed up a protester medic squad and destroyed all of their medical supplies.

that 150m cut to the LAPD budget is from a 3bn total. it's not enough.
garcetti is extremely dumb (not deblasio dumb, but pretty bad). he's term limited and banking on a spot in a biden administration, which limits the leverage of protestors over him in particular. and the city council that cowrites the budget is traditionally a low turnout sinecure. still, people are trying, and in LA style they are doing it by cutting quite slick reels:

a bakery in town had someone buy a bunch of cupcakes and then donate them to the cops. the cops publicly thanked them and the bakery in response made a public statement noting that they had nothing to do with it and stood in support of etc. <3

i know this isn't unique but i read a great thread on nextdoor by a very paranoid guy urging people do do "research" like he has on antifa. he dutifully responded to every comment in a very sincere way. i wanted to ask him about his ethnographic methods but i think it got deleted.

it was like those vaccine moms and their research
I imagine the people freaked out about Antifa are mostly the same ones who were terrified of "the caravan" and Sharia law. It feels like a lot of people are sort of desperate to be important enough for someone to invade them, but it keeps not happening. (And instead their kids keep moving away.)

New Tonight: Disturbing video from @WBFO in Buffalo, NY shows an elderly man walk up to police in riot gear. An officer shoves the man...he falls backwards, hits his head...starts bleeding immediately...motionless.

I've seen videos of the incident in front of Buffalo's City Hall in which an older protester appears to have been shoved by police, fell backwards and suffered a serious head injury. It sickens me. I've confirmed he is at ECMC in stable condition. My thoughts are with him now.— Mark Poloncarz (@markpoloncarz) June 5, 2020

separately, NYS determines that habeas corpus is suspended, opts to keep peaceful protesters in close quarters for extended periods during a pandemic.
Breaking: NYS Judge James Burke rules NYPD can now keep anyone (peaceful protestors arrested for curfew and criminal looters) detained for over 24 hours given these are extraordinary times. “It’s a crisis within a crisis", he said.

That video of the elderly man being pushed made me think a lot about the meaninglessness of the individualistic "good cops" "bad apples" debate vs the phenomenon of "police." It doesn't matter that some of them have the initial reaction of showing normal human concern for the fact that a man is on the ground bleeding from his head, they are quickly corrected by others, all in identical black riot gear, like straying sheep butted back into the group. People become their roles.
