Not sure how BLM is a bigger threat to civil liberties when historically the biggest threat has always been governments. The Founding Fathers understood that so they tried to limit the federal government's ability to infringe on them by creating the Constitution.

historically the biggest threat has always been governments.
Personally I'd argue religion has that distinction, since ideological leaders bend governments to their purpose. Ideology is much more pervasive than government, infecting not just the police and the judges, but also the juries, HR departments, social media curators, etc.

The truncheon and riot shield are far less oppressive, but police are now being denied that one.
It's not ideal, but the Gadsden crowd recognize that BLM is a far bigger threat to civil liberties than the police could ever be.
