False-flag instigators, intentionally escalating in bad faith to provoke a violent response from protesters and police alike.

EDIT - Watch the instigating jerk flip off the protesters who dared confront him as he triggers what would become a failure cascade of protests that had been peaceful for hours.

What exactly makes you think that this person was a false-flag instigator?

>>depend+S1
The fact that he flips off the protesters who try to stop him and continues instigating until the police escalate.

Did you watch the video?

Because he wants to break the police car obviously.

> continues instigating until the police escalate

More like until he is shooed off. I do not see the police in the video at all actually. Regardless, would that not be the best idea if you are going to cause trouble? You would not want to be arrested after all.

And yeah, I did watch the video.

The whole point of the entire thread (which you seem to have missed) is that the protesters were peaceful and wanted to stay that way, and this guy came in and screwed that up, while dressed like the very force that's supposed to help defend protesters and keep things peaceful.

That's the very definition of false-flag instigation.
