    A responsive community watch is what’s needed, sadly i know personally how much people’s bystander effect kicks in if you’re not in their tribe.

      You’re again thinking of a on-the-ground civil war between a community and an oppressive government. That didn’t work well in the age of steam trains and single shot rifles, it sure as fuck wouldn’t work in the age of satellite tracking and grenade carrying flying drones.
      If you have to fight an icetapo agent on the ground, you’re already lost, the only way to win is to create the world where icetapo agents are tried in a fair court, and put in jail for their crimes. Admittedly, it’s hard to do when agents shooting people on the streets, but well, Americans collectively decided to play this encounter on hardmode by willingly and knowingly electing all of that, so what can you do.
