Don't disagree.
However, it's prudent to respect any authority with a license to kill you whether they deserve that respect or not.

The wise place to fight the tyranny is at the ballot box and the political power levers; in the street, walk circumspectly and live to fight another day.

That doesn't call for respect.

It calls for fear.

And contempt.

They were the ones to decide it's us vs them.

In the end, it's only going to be us. 'Them' will be destroyed.

Your sentence is a ridiculous contradiction.

By definition you cannot fight tyranny at the ballot box.
