(36,055 posts)A local curfew is no justification for "hunting." A local curfew patrol is not a riot patrol.
When police intentionally escalate all civilian patrolling into riot patrolling, their contempt for civilians, keeping the peace, and orderly due process is evident. Police who escalate law and order maintenance patrols are complicit with domestic terrorists, and they try to destabilize civil society. Their political goal is to delegitimize civilian rule of law.
Police escalation is the alt-right fascist tactic to fabricate violence by provoking rightful defense by the left -- or ANY civilians trying to protect themselves -- from police attacks.
If we ignore this important lesson about why Americans who want rule of law must be wary of police and police patrols, the end will come.
From Tim Snyder's Twenty Lessons On Tyranny
Lesson # 6: Be wary of paramilitaries.
When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh.
When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.
