    eh, idk i didn’t post the clip as a dunk. this poster (who isn’t a mr. btw) might overstate the position a bit, there’s definitely a lot of police overreach here and these fascists will increasingly be looking for the excuse to use their kit, but they’ve been raiding businesses for months in increasingly brazen fashion and in basically all cases they haven’t drawn a crowd big enough to count as that excuse for use of force. i think i land somewhere in the middle; it may not be “mass spontaneous resistance” yet, but people are slowly getting more agitated about this bullshit, and the fascists are scared of that turning into mass resistance, and so they’re gonna start overreaching more often.
