Other way around: if it doesn't happen soon enough, it becomes impossible.
We're already seeing cops murdering protesters and trying them as terrorists with little to no outcry from the mainstream.
If this shit continues, it'll become de facto legal for cops to murder protesters all over the country, just like it already is for people in cars in at least one state.
You are talking about state of the matter, I am talking the phrase by which I am confused. I would not be confused, for example, if it ended with “before it does” instead of “before it can”.
