The local and state cops are actively attacking protesters right now to defend the feds, I do not know what universe people are living in where they think they will side with civilians.

I know we are all onto the whole “cops are publicly subsidized paramilitary who act on behalf of capital” beat but I’m genuinely shocked that stuff like killology training hasn’t made it obvious to more libs

You have to consider that to predict American politics, you need to multiply outcomes by a large stupidness-monkey paw-cruelty cofactor. So it's like "yeah, there's a chance that state police help the people, but it's a volunteer inmate cohort who treat chemical burns from Brand Co. tear gas in exchange for healthcare via a 10 million dollar grant."
