This incident occurred during the 2008 RNC in St Paul. While I applaud the effort, I wonder if this does more to damage the aims of people championing the efforts to fractionalize and oppose the state.
For the few who were there it may have been a positive thing, but as a whole I think this kind of behavior hurts us in the long run. Especially as the context is not clear.
A policeman just came to my door about my dog, and he asked for my full name…He said it was just standard procedure. but anyway that kid has balls for one, but it does come off as bad as people see “anarchists” as violent ramblerousers who are just “kids”. If you know what I mean.
I feel it is perfectly healthy in a movement to have a wide range of severity. Sure if it was Walter Block tackling the guy, it would do more harm than good. But if some soul is brave enough to treat a police officer as he should be treated (as just another person, who, if he is committing illegitimate violence against another person’s body or property, deserves to be repelled with violence), then so be it. In the coming collapse, the police state is going to get progressively more oppressive. We will need to get progressively bolder in our opposition to it.
