>the police just showed up and drove everybody out, a few stayed and yelled at them for a bit but anybody that refused to leave was arrested. If only they had done this before.

Why? No one want that thing to end. Even without any conspiracy theories this is pretty easy to explain.

Democratic party uses this BLM thing as a way to employ conformism for elections (i.e. bully everyone into Trump/Republican hating, even if person was unsure). Republicans and Trump use this show as perfect media campaign - no one sane would like what happens. Only question is "what trend is more powerful, conformism or common sense?", but we'll see this on elections. So, both political forces like this.

Local government 1) aligned to party, mostly Democrats, so acts as ideology says 2) afraid of reaction, because social conformism works for them too. Local police doesn't want to do anything even more, because everyone hate them, and if they'd act - media would hate them even more (oh peaceful hippies are suffer under white supremacy boot etc). Why anyone would protect those who don't want the protection, want to drop you from society and resists help? Police also wants to prove that they are still required, by displaying how everything works without them.

So it is up to movement to die by itself.
