(38,187 posts)The CNN sign in Atlanta has been spray painted and cops have already broken out the SWAT vehicles, tear gas, etc. and dispersed most of the crowd. There are pictures of it on Twitter.
They probably don't understand why they are being attacked. Maybe someone who knows someone who works there at CNN can get them to start covering what agent provocateurs are and bust that violent counter protest tactic that LE uses wide open. It is about time one of the news networks started covering it and letting people know about it.
It is well documented in the US's official archives about how even Dr. King's protesters were infiltrated with LEOs hellbent on counter protest tactics to discredit and hurt the movement.
Of course, back then, it was to claim he was a communist, but as white supremacists have been videoed and exposed more and more, in recent years, they have stepped up their tactics to more violent methods.
