I wouldn't by any stretch call myself a conservative, but...
I've spent 30 years badmouthing the cops as useless revenue generators who hand out tickets and then don't show up when you need them, but the last couple years of shrill gender-questionable screeching and hoodie/facemask/thugs throwing Molotovs has given me real pause as to what side I'm on.
If the BLM/antifa dipshits were arming up and making the streets better like 70s BlackPanthers, I might have some use for them. Since they're just anarchist animals looking for a little ultraviolence with their droogs, I don't.
I guess that puts me reluctantly on the side of the police, since I'm definitely on the side of law and order. Weird place for a libertarian to end up- thanks a lot, antifa.
