    They can and do arrest people. Just because they do it for reasons that leftists like doesn’t mean that they aren’t agents of state violence.

    Honestly questions like this really get at the carceral divide in the radical left. Some of us think ACAB is just a cheeky slogan and not an actual political principle.

      Definitely true, but I think park rangers could still be a viable part of the state after some restructuring where as the entire idea of policing for the general population pretty much has to be torn down.
