Unfortunately, it seems like most people not on Lemmy are with them.
This is highly questionable evidence, but I've noticed more anti police messages in graffiti and restroom walls. And I don't get weird looks when I say "police shouldn't exist" anymore.
I think there might be a tiny bit of selection bias if you're looking at messages today were written illegally.
Of course, most of the messages I see every day are legal. The reason I'm interested in vandalism is because the author wants people to know it, but is safeguarding against repercussions. It reduces the bias towards saying what's good for you personally.
