Video from last night where ICE agent shot a kid in the face with non-lethal round, dragged him across the pavement with a bloodied face, then put a chokehold on him inside. Kid went into surgery and lost sight in his left eye.
What are we going to do about this brutality?

I'd be surprised if it's acceptable to give that question an honest answer.
Precise historical examples of specific acts of rebellion against legal systems perceived to be unjust, like the 1943 Amsterdam civil registry bombing (for which the Wikipedia page is illuminating alone) show the problems with such acts: even if everybody in a particular urban centre goes along with the rebellion, the long-term results are minor. As Kotkin says, successful revolutions need an ideological throughline that can produce coherence by itself.
