So? Some people consider police bad, either at specific instances (some policemen/departments at some times doing bad things) or inherently (the police as an institution in general), and have been fighting against them for centuries...

Some people think police should pay for the abuses that they regularly and without punishment do.

Some others think police should stop existing in general, or exist only in a very limited capacity, or be replaced by citizen patrols, and several other varieties...

So, that morality and cause... Doesn't have to agree with yours to be a morality, and even less so to be a cause...

Their beliefs are irrelevant. You don't get to break laws and due process just because of your beliefs and anger. How many mass shootings have we seen from people with "beliefs". Stop trying to justify people burning cars just because they don't get one they want right away.

Yes you do. You might not get away with it, but that's not really pertinent.

In fact historically most change happened through people breaking laws because of their beliefs and anger.

And in every past society, like ours, most thought its laws are the apex of law-making, and should never be challenged or broken in anger, nor its law agents assaulted etc. Only history doesn't work that way.

Yes, you do get to break the law after working inside the system fails. You know this country was founded by people breaking the laws of England, right?
