Last week the DC Metropolitan PD suffered a massive data leak after being hacked by a Russian-language syndicate. Among the leaks include law enforcement training on #antifa’s ideology and tactics. The material is surprisingly accurate. I’ll quote it here rather than screenshot:
DC MPD: "Antifa—the movement is a conglomeration of left-wing autonomous, militant anti-fascist groups in the United States. The principal feature of antifa groups is their use of direct action."
DC MPD: "They [antifa] engage in varied protest tactics, which include digital activism, property damage, physical violence, and harassment against those whom they identify as fascist, racist, or on the far-right."
DC MPD: "They [antifa] tend to be anti-capitalist & they are predominantly far-left & militant left, which includes anarchists, communists & socialists. Their stated focus is on fighting far-right & white supremacist ideologies directly, rather than through electoral means."
DC MPD : "This group by far is the most violent we have dealt with over the years."
DC MPD: "As you all are aware during the Inauguration of President Trump this was the group that destroyed property, assaulted any Trump supporter they ran into includ[ing] the elderly. They have no moral compass on who they go after."
This is the key conclusion in the internal DC Metropolitan Police training material on #antifa: "If you do not believe in what they [antifa] believe in, you are a target of violence."
Whoever compiled the report understands the most important things about antifa.
Whoever compiled the report understands the most important things about antifa.
The internal training material from DC MPD on #antifa also includes various law enforcement strategies and tactics to counter them but I won't quote here given the information may be sensitive.
