All I'm saying is that saying 'I have no sympathy' is tantamount to saying 'he/she got what was coming'. Nobody wants you to send bloody flowers. But don't pretend that a statement of a 'lack of sympathy' was one of neutrality because people aren't that dumb.
In your example of punks getting beaten by the police (that's just funny!) I'd say protestors or communities in resistance, I would have "sympathy" for them, but I don't complain about 'police brutality' or anything because it's part of being a wing of the state and maintaining a monopoly on violence. It's their job! I can understand that incredulity of people when this first becomes revealed to them, such as in Rossport, but it's at this point where one should start explaining why it it is the police do such things, etc. and what they can possibly do (in the mean time?). That's still a tricky answer, as you cna see in my not having concretely answered your questions so far. I think the start is the realisation of their role and then the coming together to decide things without the involvement of the police is the beginning of this.
Now, I'm not condoning lack of accountability. The point is that hiding behind someone else's theories is no more going to encourage accountability than is just sitting and going, "Oh, it was just a bad apple." The point is, you're saying that I 'don't touch on' what you want me to have said, rather than looking at what I did say. As I already pointed out, if you actually want to be politically productive, you might consider looking for common ground.
I know! It seems you have a better grasp on political organising than most on here (or maybe not ) But it's about finding those commonalities with those around you, where you work and live and doing it on a grassroots level while explaining your views, opinions and understandings and not within the system (man! hehe) that will prove most productive. Theory without action...Action without theory... etc. I try and do that where I can, when I can and with who I can, it's not always possible with the current low level of social struggle, but I try and it's a long process, something that I'm only now understanding as my views and opinions mature.. (I hope this doesn't come across as a platitude)
I'm not being wilfully ignorant, I'm acknowledging the reality that whether you like it or not, there is a police force, and what do you do with a corrupt police force on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, seeing as the anarchist utopia will be a while?
I wasn't saying that YOU were willfully ignorant but that it is endemic and maintained within society i.e. hegemony/manufacturing consent.
There you go with being all black and white again. Yes, relationships of unequal power are never going to lead to happy utopias, but the fact is, change can't happen over night. You seem to have a good idea of how the structure as it stands operates, and you know what it is that you want at the end, but what the rest of us want to know is what the practical steps are along the way. Seriously.
I don't have all the answers, it's something that needs to be worked out collectively. Maybe this might help

No, but this is the third time you've said this without explaining what we do in the short to medium term.
Get involved in campigns that effect the everyday problems and desires that people face, build upon it and then connect with other campaigns and struggles with which you hold affinity all at the same time linking it in to a more and better understanding of the totality and society as a whole. (another sloganistic platitude perhaps). But if that's what you're looking for, eirecore is the last place to come, if you're looking for lip service to radical ideas and a bit of posturing you are in the right place though and should pull up a chair and put on the kettle.
I'm not currently in Dublin or Ireland so I'm not really sure what problems people are facing or which ones would be beneficial in furthering egalitarian ideas rather than just ending up reactionary issues and campaigns. I'd say housing and rent are possibly some major problems coming up in the next while(7-8 years that is) in Dublin.
