Antifascist action is effective because it presents real consequences for fascists. When a nazi gets doxxed, gets fired, get flooded with flyers in their neighborhood, etc... when their lives are fundamentally changed for the worse, it disrupts their ability to organize. It is demoralizing. We make no apologies and do not function within a framework controlled by the state or its apologists.
We should be imposing similar consequences for cops. On our own terms. As abolitionists. You think they give a fuck about a march in isolation? Or some appeal to city council? After 2020, their funding in most locales has only increased. The lack of any substantive structural changes should inspire introspection about our strategy and tactics.
We need to make it unbearable to be a cop. The individual stripped of riot gear and their police line is weak. Attacking individual links makes the chain fall apart.
