Then go read the memo of a communist party in Europe, that's far left. The expressions far left and far right are thrown randomly without people realizing what they actually mean.
The hatred for cops is not real hatred, but disapproval towards certain conducts that endanger human dignity and security - Some people just don't want police officers to have full power to retaliate - I'm glad that in my country every shot they fire has to be reported and brought in for questioning to make sure it was absolutely necessary.
Indeed. I don't think that Americans really appreciate what 'far left' means in realworld terms, being very much a centre right country almost by definition.
