  Some leftist groups view the police as class traitors who suppress the freedom of speech of the working class. I'm not sure that people who would align themselves with a group like Palestine Action would agree that they are free to protest about Palestine "all [they] want," or would find fracturing a policewoman's spine to be disqualifying. In fact, some may find that kind of action to be preferable to the reflexive deference to the police that really became visible after 9/11.

  > a group who who broke a policewoman's back with a sledgehammer? This was tried in court, and the conclusion was that this was an accident during a fight, not an intentional act [0] (after violence was initiated by security forces and the police during a PA break-in against an Israeli weapons manufacturer). So this is quite deceptive framing.
