Coleman Hughes: "I wish these protests were against the War On Drugs...rather than against a cop's right to fire back when fired upon.

Not at all. For example these protests could have sparked by the killing of Floyd but quickly turned 90% of their focus to the war on drugs. I haven't the catalyst or the focus on the war on drugs.

More non-sequitur. Talk about incoherent, unorganized messaging! It's clear as day that your question in context implies that the protests can only be about the War on Drugs if that was the catalyst. You're not doing yourself any favors dying on this hill.

I absolutely do care about fixing the movement. Who the hell is for police brutality and systemic racism?

Okay, then I have an easy ask for you. Your account seems full of comments on this topic. Could you point me to a couple in which you show support for the movement, and opposition to systemic racism? Not this kind, where you're on your heels defending your good intentions; actual supportive rhetoric.
