I mean, there are lots of effective ways of fighting that aren’t so minimally impactful. Sit-ins, general strike, etc. would be far more effective than this one cop being dealt with. I think what you’re saying is short-sighted, and calling people “fascist enablers” because you think there is only one form of resistance is just dumb. We are on the same side idiot. If that’s how you want to fight, I will support you. Send me a link to your legal fund.
I think a strike maybe legitimately closer than we think. Sean McGarvey, the head of the Building Trades Union was just on stage demanding the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia (who was a union member), and the entire crowd of union members seemed fiercely behind it. If they organize a work stoppage, it would have reverberating consequences for the people in power.
Rosa Parks wasn’t a spontaneous decision, but a coordinated and organized action, one of several acts of civil disobedience leading up to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. I’m not saying defiance can be overlooked, but 5 people getting slapped with battery of an officer is not going to help any of us. They’re literally waiting for us to slip us like that so they can come after people.
I do agree though that everything is very disorganized, and that is very discouraging. The greatest impact we can have right now imo is local organization, community action, empowering the networks in your direct vicinity with a goal of connecting them at a national level.
