Stray thought:
What is the operational function of police review board?
We can look to the history of labor struggles to see a similar mechanism; the complaint box. Taylorist management thinkers found that if they introduced a complaint box that labor organizing lost steam, even without the complaints actually bring addressed.
Official police accountability groups often function in the same way. To give a pressure release valve energy can be spent into and also to garner more legitimacy for local governments in the eyes of the people.

What is the function of an FBI doorknock?
There seems to be two micro objectives; fishing for information and scaring people. As well as two macro objectives; getting convictions and neutralizing threats. “Neutralizing” doesn’t mean killing inherently, rather it means rendering ineffective.
For Proud Boy leaders, and similar types, it seems like trying to talk them into staying home for particular events that may spiral out of control. Arrests may follow that usually end up pulling the person out of the fights for a few months then letting them out.
For their lifelong targets like anarchists, reds, and activists there seems to be a slightly different approach. The feds definitely seem to be trying to scare people out of the streets before large events, but they also seem to be looking to find who will talk to them beyond the usual “I don’t talk to law enforcement without my lawyer” etc. Getting someone to talk means they’ve found a weak link to put pressure on, deploying more complex mindgames. This seems similar to the use of doorknocks in muslim communities as well, tho the demobilization affect is deprioritized and the attempts at entrapment etc are increased.
