I understand that you may not like it, or that you may think this is stupid, but to the eyes of the anarchists, they could be fighting both reforms and police. I think some (maybe most of) anarchists are against the idea of reform itself, thinking that complete revolution is the only way. This may sound dumb to you, but they have reason for this : the main argument i know of is that police has already been reformed and still is a problem, or even that police is a problem in itself, reformed or not. (It is reasonable to disagree with this statement, i’m not saying it’s right, just reminding their point of view, which explain why they could be against a police reform, and still fighting the police. In other words, it’s not just “defending the police / reforming the police”, but rather “defending the police / accepting the police / reforming the police / abolishing the police”). There are many ways to fight anything, and it’s in the very nature of anarchists to dislike the ways that imply governement/laws/authority.
