Whose actions have had the biggest effect on enabling police to be what they are today? (killing black people, firing on protesters, impunity, mix and match).

I'm ducking out because I don't know enough but genuinely interested in arguments for one or the other.

Have fun! :D

In reductive terms, Biden for allowing the police force to get to where they are today, Trump for inflaming a segment of the country to wholeheartedly embrace and support where they are today.

is this a trap, is there going to be a reveal of some kind, to show how right or wrong the voters are, when the results come in?
