Reply #134: Police have to be ready for PROVOCATEURS. Also, anybody think there are "Maoists" at these protests? [View All]

Even back in the day, provocateurs were a standard feature of anti-leftist schemes going back to the 1930s. Firing a few shots at police was a guaranteed technique for generating bloody riots.

Donald Segretti and his CREEPsters used the technique to make anti-war anti-Nixon protesters look like violence prone fanatics.

The Air and Space Museum riot recreated this approach. The largely pacifist and anti-war protest was made to look like an attack on the museum guards. Violence ensued. Ambulances were called for the MACEd and trampled victims. That was a perfect day for the rightie propaganda machine.

A couple guys with bags of water bottles -- less "invasive" than 1930s company-shill anti-union gunmen.

Same idea.

We have to warn the police management teams about what's in play. They are quite good at these problems once they have the info.
