Never forget what happened in Hungary in 1956 & Czechoslovakia in 1968 - and the fact that Project 2025 calls for using the military on protestors here. While protests ARE important and so are strikes, they alone will not end this. They won't weaken the regime enough to get them out oi power.
Makes sense. Police are pretty dependent on hierarchical command. Give those top command levels too much to watch at once and site command will be torn between taking initiative and the responsibility that comes with it, and the safer route of holding and waiting on orders.
Also, the smaller the number of cops, the less the chance of police violence. Even the dumbest cops out there can count high enough to know when they’re badly outnumbered.
This is one reason the 50501 protests have seen little police presence other than undercover agents at a few locations. They don’t have the numbers to mobilize riot police or national guard across every city and state in the country
That’s what I was about to say. It’s what 50501 and others are doing already. In my area there were a half dozen different protests within an hour on May 1. And I’m rural.
