Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

They should know by now that the US is an authoritarian shithole

You must not be from a culture with an antifascist tradition of "First they came for the "
I'm concerned you would think this is an okay thing to post, and I'm worried about the people who subscribe to socialism and would upvote this kind of sentiment.
Furthermore, you're not even correct. The police's justification is the vehicle's attendance at an unaffiliated nonviolent climate movement protest, though I doubt that changes things in your mind.
