The shootings don't just normalize shootings, they normalize everything up to and including shootings.
If they can get away with shootings, they don't think twice about smashing someone's head in.
This is my concern of American apathy. It gets relied on; it's that culturally ingrained. Protests are encouraging to see, but we always see momentum gone quickly and suddenly the things that once caused protests is just part of the regular news cycle.
As a non-American, it's bonkers to continue seeing how far the bar will sink before enough people finally say enough is enough.
Too many times has the apathy impacted the globe.
Shit had to get bad enough for the average American for the average voter to realize shits broken.
It took the Great Depression to get FDR elected, and the government was killing protesters in the streets then too.
Hell, a giant group of armed veterans were living at the Washington monument during the election.
Shit could have always gotten better, but it usually has to get real bad before people accept it. It's bad enough now we can actually fix shit

No, they know they need "Bread & Circuses" to keep us placated and compliant, so they'll keep us barely fed and entertained with propaganda.
They are past that stage now, now they are doing everything to provoke revolt so they can justify killing with tanks and stopping any elections.
"He only kicked him the head with steel-toed boots. It's not like he SHOT him..."
