If history is any indicator, the people instigating these acts of violence are most likely LEOs acting as agent provocateurs...
You beat me to it, Dreamer. It's almost become a caricature: at all these major protests, we see agents provocateur, faux-"protestors", wearing the Black Bloc uniform and doing their thing in full view of the police, while untouched by them.
The police then march in and arrest and pepper-spray
peaceful protestors and independent journalists and ordinary citizens just caught unawares.
Are you saying that LE infiltration, going undercover to bring down these ass wipes is bad?
LE goes undercover all the time in order to bring down all kinds of criminal trash organizations, and individuals. Why should they also not target these idiot occupiers who engage in criminal activity, directed by Union thugs.
That wouldn't be bad, if that's what they were doing.
Instead, police are the very ones
driving the violence and vandalism. And why? Well, if not for these "violent criminal acts and wanton vandalism", how could they justify massive special overtime budgets and new paramilitary toys?
I wish it was a joke, or just some Alex Jones conspiracy theory. It's not. Police throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe have been caught at this so many times that they don't even deny it any more. Instead, they try to justify it as some kind of sting operation, or intelligence gathering.
Even the recent case of 5 "domestic terrorist anarchists" trying to blow up bridges was entirely originated by FBI agents or informants. They launched the plan, recruited people to take part, provided the fake materials, and then claim it's not a sting because the recruits could have walked away.
Why don't the news media report this? Easy: the official line is easier. You send one cameraman down shoot visuals of windows being smashed, send one intern down to pick up the official press release and use the pool audio/video of the chief talking about how dangerous it was but what a great job the officers did, and just run it. The sheeple believe it. Creating a story that would convince the masses takes real reporting, which means man-hours and hard work.
That's the last thing major media outlets are concerned with.
