One possible explanation is there is more “egoboo” in left-wing protestors being assaulted by police than right-wing protestors being assaulted, both in street cred and in images that can be used for recruitment. Left wing - “This anonymous authority figure, who I will never meet at the local events in my parent’s neighborhood in million years, is using PHYSICAL FORCE (against my illegal(?) physical acts)...honor my martyrdom and visit my Facebook page!!!” Right wing - “Clem, if things get rough, we will get various body parts kicked and it will make us look like wimps. And I do not want to risk losing my concealed carry. Anyway, doesn’t your cousin work for the Force? How am I going to explain that to Lucille at the Memorial Day picnic? Let’s be effective rather than violent...that’s what the ol’ Colonel said...say, doesn’t Jim-bob work for the power company in the big city?”
