Authoritarian people can't tell the difference. To the authoritarian, Rosa Parks refusing to give up a bus seat is a violent act against authority, and must be met with violence. Authoritarians often get overdramatic about things and blow them out of proportion in order to justify the overkill response they make. The authoritarian thinks that "respect for the law" is more important than individual liberty, even when the law is wrong.
