Why is it acceptable that police use facial recognition to target protestors, but "doxxing" when activists use that same technology to hold police accountable?
Why is it acceptable when police stop people for breaking traffic laws, but "false imprisonment" when other drivers do it?
On a more serious note, this is the stuff Libertarians have been talking about for decades. There is no consistency to government power and laws at all, so it's all smoke and mirrors. And only backed by circular power. I.e. Government gives itself legitimacy because it is government.
A mob follows no rules and some try to blind police officers using lasers. Or they can simply harass somebody for days on end.
No one ever won a lawsuit against a mob.
