Its one thing to deny the state is violent and pointing it at people will result in death. It's quite another to only seem to care when it's under the control by people you don't align with.
I have a problem with the state killing people. I also have a problem when people that desire a massive increase in state power to make things right in the world complaining about it when they aren't in charge.
Covid was not that long ago and I am sure many appalled by ICE were begging government agents to punish those not willing to get stuck with a drug or daring to gather with others voluntarily.
Also, this whole mess is why people talk about states rights. Let each state regulate itself and keep the feds out. But most lefties want the feds forcing states to do things they like.
We can't have it both ways. I'm tired of pointing this out. Objectively looking at conflicts seems too boring for most people.
