to be overtaken? Quite frankly, I watched it on live TV and didn’t understand the “ambivalence “of the police. Very strange. This went beyond not wanting to escalate a volatile situation.

I’ve seen paid provocateurs in the past, agitating a large crowd while riot police were lining up curb to curb a block away, just waiting for their attack whistle.

Don’t put anything past the government. The main advantage that they have is a coordinated plan to divide, tear gas, and round up people vs protestors running around with no plan at all.
