I think there’s still a case to make that police should worry about the current landscape.
A large proportion of the Jan 6 crowd were violent offenders even beforehand. The more they’re emboldened by Trump, the more of them there are. This even lead to that Nazi rally that the local community had to chase off; and that psycho in NH that had a shootout with police and wounded a deputy.
These people stay at home when they recognize their hate isn’t appreciated, and don’t think a president will pardon them. For many in law enforcement, it’s not if, but when.
