    This is why you need a crew on stand by who just start throwing punches

    This wouldn't have happened to a Black Panther Chapter

      The Black Panthers wouldn't stand a chance against the modern NYPD, largely because modern police forces were created to prevent something like the Panthers from happening.

      They’d have just murdered everyone involved the moment they were alone. But yah, you’re right

        New York City gun laws are incredibly restrictive. They're the tightest in America. I think they're even tighter than UK gun laws. Civilians, for all practical intents and purposes, cannot legally own firearms in New York City. Armed self defense would not be feasible. You'd have to fight the NYPD, an army of 30,000 cops.

    Couldn't they get the librarian to ask them to leave then declare them as trespassers?

    Edit: wait this building is owned specifically by the lefitsts? I know cops don't give a fuck, but wouldn't they all be trespassing in this case? Guess property laws don't matter for certain people :ancap-good:

        This. the cops are all anti-vaxx fascists and they apply the law selectively to punish their enemies.

    lmfao this was some anti-vac shit? Also no offense but that whole thing was a joke. The communists here would have hog tied the right-wingers and fought the police. But it's a very different environment.

      American police would kill you. They would draw guns and if you didn't immediately surrender they would gun you down like animals. If you actually managed to get some punches in and they didn't shoot you, they'd beat you unconscious. And then you'd go to jail, where you'd be held for months or years awaiting trial. Then they'd convict you and send you to prison. Probably for like a decade for assaulting an officer. In jail you'd be subjected to beatings, harassment, and solitary confinement because you were in for attacking a cop.

      It's really bad here. We can only push back against them when it's tens or hundreds to one. And after the crowds break up and go home they start the reprisals, kidnappings, assassinations, and sweeps. People get brought up on old warrants, probation violations, petty traffic crimes, whatever. People get found dead in burned out cars with a gunshot to the head. The cops favorite tactic for punishing whole neighborhoods collectively is to fly helicopters low over the houses all night for months on end, or run big convoys of police SUVs through the neighborhood at dangerous speeds with their sirens on for hours. If we push back hard enough the feds get involved and it's that much worse.

      We're not helpless, but the cops have to do something really fucked up, on camera, for communities to really rise up against them. The situation is not good.

        and maybe even if you did surrender

        Police here are a lot worse and don't even try to hide it. The left-wing here is just more militant because they're constantly defending themselves from police, military, MS-13, and right-wing agitators. Sometimes the CIA as well. You sort of have to be militant if you want to be part of a political group in Central America because of how nasty retaliations from the aforementioned groups are.

        It probably also helps that the vast majority hates the police and you don't really see working class people defend them like you do in the US.

        because of the historical american anti-communist stance, a lot of american communists are taking their first baby steps in the struggle. they have yet to develop their strengths like so many of our other comrades around the world
