I'm trying to think in a way, any way, that you could spin this in to a positive thing.
I can't think of one. There is no way to make this look like a good thing for anyone except a very all group of people.
So how do they sell this to their constituents?
Because they think the cops are the good guys and that civilian review boards exist to hinder them and prevent them from keeping themselves and everyone else safe. Especially because they think that the people who’d join a civilian review board are anti cop.
On the left we’re aware of the police problem but there’s a lot of pro cop and anti criminal propaganda in American culture still and many people still believe whatever the cops say.
Also racism obviously plays a role here
Only liberal trans commie folk would ever think to question let alone attempt to hold them responsible‽ Best stupid logic I can imagine...
Accountability is woke
Patriotism.
If it's anything like where I'm at, cops (and troops) are heroes and therefore any criticism (or even showing the slightest doubt) of their actions is seen as anti-American
Except Capitol cops it's okay to hate them and celebrate their death or injuries because they are uhm deep state and stuff yes.
Good point
They believe that civilian boards and panels are made up of "woke" activists that want to screech at them and defund them. Since these panels aren't as hardline conservative/fascist as they are, they're "libtards" who shouldn't have a say in these "conservative" matters.
I love that thought since most people in the US are WAY more right than people in Europe.
