Folks - don't be obtuse. Police commanders know exactly what will happen when they escalate with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Pro-police forces WANT mayhem. It makes people watching on TV afraid of the protests, and it changes the subject away from the widespread peaceful opposition to racist police violence.

Many people want mayhem, but I think your comment is wrong.

> Pro-police forces WANT mayhem ... it changes the subject away from the widespread peaceful opposition to racist police violence.

I don’t think that typical “pro-police forces” want to own the narrative of their cause being racist and violent.
