George Floyd protests happened and they were significant enough to get the second in command of the US military and Americas top military advisor to both say trump is a threat to the constitution as well as achieving the goal of justice in the form of consequences for George Floyd's murder. It was so traumatic for America's top military advisor that he made a major point to those under him that they swore an oath to the constitution and not a "wannabe dictator." Many police departments have enacted various reforms, hard to tell if they have been enacted in good faith. The Vegas shooter is business as usual and generally considered a societal problem. The BLM protests were different and seen as caused/provoked by the administration at the time. As far as the grim part... Unfortunately that's the way power works. Power will not be challenged without putting up a fight. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny. Timothy Snyder - On Tyranny.
