The same US that wouldn't even enforce their mask mandates is a police state?
This is like running around and calling anything slightly bad a country does Nazi Germany.
Nuance matters, think about the world a little more complexly.

Also the US has the highest prison population per capita.
If it quacks like a duck...
No.
It wasn't enforced by the state at all.
I think it's a waste of time as much as anyone else but Sci-hub is clearly against US law. Just because you disagree with the value of a law enforcement action doesn't mean you are living in a "police state"
Sci-hub has nothing to do with US law.

Uncritically buying one's national government's claim to global jurisdiction, justifying "law enforcement actions" against foreign citizens in foreign lands in the frigging first place, on the other hand...
That seems to indicate some kind of successful indoctrination into a pro-police-state mindset.
That's true, but the more horrifying fact is that it has the highest prison population in absolute numbers: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/06/prisons/html/nn2...
