Interesting that militant opposition to the police is associated with the right-wing; not trying to nitpick or condemn, in Ferguson that was absolutely true. Here in NYC it's still not, though, and generally I feel like resistance to armed government forces has generally been more left-aligned.
- yarou 11y agoSure. Groups like the Black Panthers and various left-aligned groups tend to resist "armed government forces". But, the counterexample to your narrative are the various militias that are slightly racist and espouse right-wing rhetoric. Sometimes adults like to dress up in black shirts and carry weapons around, regardless of what political affiliation they have.
