A little bit of that DOES explain why getting rid of Trump would be a necessary step to reduce police violence. Get a president who doesn't praise police for overreach and brutality.  Get one who doesn't want to use the U.S. military against U.S. civilians, or deploy it for photo ops.  I.e., get one with knowledge, judgment, and presidential Gravitas.

I haven't read anyone who thinks JUST getting rid of Trump would automatically "fix it."  Perhaps there is no such "stance," just simplification of current recommendations for reform.  A straw man.

Obama's cool words were backed by action, as I have demonstrated in several posts. And his action made a difference. E.g., The Ferguson police department was meeting its training and other accountability goals until the Trump DOJ stalled them. Obama shut down the militarization of police, exchanging the "Warrior" model for the "guardian." And more.

What appeal to "rationality" simply ignores data and the implementation--or undoing--of actual policies?

I get that the liberal will use every bad issue as a launching point to discredit Trump and remove him from the White House. In my original post on the matter I asked folks to consider what got more attention: The church getting burned or POTUS walking to it. I think we've clearly answered that now it's up to us to determine what the true issue is.
