Based on your post, there could be common ground. SWAT teams are overused and innocents die.

But, remember when Rand Paul and his wife were attacked by BLMers shouting "Say her name!" His response was that he says her name all the time, and even introduced a bill in Congress to stop SWAT raids like the one in Louisville. He very publicly agreed with them, and still they attacked him. If they were really concerned about their stated cause, they would have honored him. But, they don't actually care about their stated cause. They care more about disagreeing with the Right. If a cause or event can't be converted from itself into a Left-vs-Right discussion, then that cause is useless to those in power. When G.Floyd died, there was momentary unity in the country...then the riots started, and within 24 hours the debate was shifted from anti-police brutality, to black vs. white and Left vs. Right. The Left-Right division was further fueled to prevent actual resolution of the cause of stopping police brutality. Division fuels the political engine. Common ground does not advance the agenda of the politically powerful. So, bills like Rand Paul's will languish. Bills that eliminate civil asset forfeiture (something almost every American wants) don't go anywhere. Eliminate daylight savings?...boring...nothing to be politically gained from spending time on that, because everyone wants it. If some conservatives agree with BLM that SWAT raids should be stopped?...that would help the stated cause, but it does not advance the Left-vs-Right political warfare, so common ground is ignored.

[For the record, I didn't watch the video or read the report.]

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
