I see that this is being engaged in today. Trump has to be wise, this is about trying to paint Trump as a fascist and to rile up and recover many of the voter base which Trump has clearly cut into so deeply. Politics is all some care about, just as they tried to chase him with the Russian Probe and impeachment. Trump can maintain his base AND expand, by simply playing to the constitution. That's what everyone loves, even non-Americans.
Trump can't listen to the far right in his party on this issue of liberty and police abuse. Take the libertarian approach, stop with the "dominate the streets" or domestic military talk and focus on demands for accountability for those who abuse Constitutional protected rights while promising to ensure provocateurs and rioters who commit violence and/or vandalism, will be also held accountable.
He doesn't have to make a spectacle of himself and take a knee, Americans will see right through that (like Romney walking with BLM is viewed as anything but politics), but he should reaffirm everyone that he supports good people "on all sides" to find solutions, transparency, accountability and justice per the law and your constitution.
There are defunding demands coming from so many, it's happening in Canada too. In Toronto almost 25% of our budget is for police! In New York it's only 6%.
