Dare to dream I guess.

Presumably you mean the police, but, well. When you have cops with Nazi-style tattoos, I'm not sure how much I trust them to try to stop Nazis.

I get what you're saying--but can you really blame marginalized people for not really trusting the police, given the way police in the US seem to regularly shoot (to kill) first, ask questions later?
Not that Antifa is the answer, but it's an issue far more muddied than just "let the cops deal with it."
