Pretty skeptical of a floating "3.5%" figure without any additional context. NYT estimates that 15-26 million people participated in the protests following George Floyd's murder. That breaks the 3.5% threshold, and I don't think we have seen a whole lot of serious police reform in the US since then.

I was friends with some cops back them and I heard that plenty of police forces were reducing their staffing in response to the protests
