My feelings on cops are mostly rooted in the institution existing on the wrong side of every movement and moment since its inception. But also watching cars pullout of the third precinct parking lot, hit their lights to run a red to get to the Wendy's drive through half a block away. Routinely.

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.
