So these organizers are looking to protect people from the proud boys..... by calling the proud boys with badges.
It doesn't make sense. I certainly don't see it keeping marginalized people safer.
#Leif facing charges after defending themself from assault in Wadsworth, OH is the perfect example. And just (one of) the more recent one(s). Look at the BLM movement, #copcity, the history of the labor struggle... the police aren't our friends.
