Classic liberals and libertarians both favor individual freedom and limited government, but libertarians generally take the limited government bit a little further.

Militarized police is definitely one of the areas I disagree with Republicans on, along with abortion restrictions.

As for thought crimes, it's a toss up IMO, but I view Democrats as more likely to try to legislate against them.

I'd like federal government to be a whole lot smaller with more things being left up to state and local governments, so that's why I tend to side with Republican policy more often, but they're not much better either.
