Insane that local government is cooperating with this.

It makes sense under the framework that police are a right-wing paramilitary.

They understand this fact, and will aid their allies like ICE and Patriot Front who seek to impose their white-supremicist agenda upon the country. They work in the knowledge that their job is to oppress the left and support the far-right reactionary ideology with government-sanctioned force.

The left needs to accept this paradigm in order to compete against it.

“A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle,and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor.At a point, one can only fight fire with fire” Nelson Mandela , Long Walk to Freedom

I was actually thinking about this. While we have movements determined to keep the resistance peaceful, history shows that the ownership class, the political class and the police absolutely will resort to violence to preserve their power, even if it means massacring dissidents to the last, or engaging in genocide.

Is this a decision that was made by the police or civilian government? The way it's worded is a bit ambiguous.

Immensely disappointed but not at all surprised by my governor. I’ll be harassing her staff with angry constituent messages until she’s out of office
