    The black panther party was the business and there needs to be serious counter fascist movements similar to these right wing militias you see constantly.

    As for the shit at the end, so do most street gangs. Doing good things for you or your community does not negate the bad things. It’s not some weird zero sum game. Then again this meme probably wasn’t meant for me. It was meant for imaginary middle-class rich middle/old-aged white folk who don’t browse Lemmy and definitely not Leftist.

      Doing good things for you or your community does not negate the bad things.

      Can we assess law enforcement throughout the US based on this standard? Or the states and federal government that facilitate their brutality and the prison industrial complex?

      Heck, can we assess the United States, with its penchant for military adventurism by this standard?

      Of course, even if it were a zero sum game, law enforcement these days causes more harm than good, and should still be abolished.
