The cops even send in fake protesters to engage in violence so they can then attack the protest.
It's a well established fact that the police are the source of escalation in many cases, choosing to attack the whole instead of seeking to address the problematic few. It's not overt kkk or Nazi shit, it's the subtle underlying racism that makes them shoot tear gas on the first day into a group of entirely peaceful people, which then result in the escalation to this extreme violence we now see. As a person who has been to many protests I must point out that it's not that the police act exclusively because of racism but rather that thier decisions and choice of tactics are heavily influenced thereby.īecause of thier racism and prejudices they are too quick to use force, tear gas and other 'compliance methods' against those they deem undesirable, while they consistently avoid use of such methods at all when they self identify with the protesting group.
