But it's not these people.
It's these people. Literally mindless goons that are paid to bring unrest, damage, and violence.

And to the naysayers, just ask them a question: what party is armed, what party is not?

There are probably Proud Boys intermingling and fanning the flames. They caught them exacerbating the George Floyd Riots and Jan 6th.

When majority voted for this twice over - America was always nazis

Not always... I'd argue not even from 2016-2020. I think people were in denial that he could be as bad as he was/is.
But after 2020? Knowing he was and still electing him again? Yea. The majority are fascist bootlickers or didn't think fascism was that bad and didn't vote dem to beat them.

All I'm sayin' is that we got all these pigs and Summer is BBQ season.

Other stories are saying that they aren't being paid because they have not been given activation orders. Surely that’s a formality despite Trump’s history of hiring people to do a job and then walking away without paying them.

The police are not here to create disorder, they are here to preserve disorder!

You know who are the poorest individuals in all this? The horses...

There is video a mounted policeman tried to make his horse trample a man lying on the ground. The horse refused. So another mounted policeman beat him with a baton.

I wonder how difficult it is to 'liberate' a cop horse

I wish it was cheap enough to just hand out cloud connected body cams to every single protestor, and just slap cameras on every roof and corner around these events. There's so much shit going unreported and unseen it would be neat to have it much much more documented.
Roorgak
That's a very good idea. Cameras are getting pretty cheap now and a lot of the protestors will also be carrying phones with streaming capacity already. Just a matter of setting it up before you start. Wonder if any organisations could pay for copies of the cctv footage taken from premises on the route of the marchs? Buisnesses already have survelance cameras all over their properties, wouldn't be surprised if they tend to have good coverage of their street frontage too.

Little problem there: If *many* start streaming stuff at the same time there, you can bet the cellphone infrastructure will not handle that well. Better something that records stuff. Uploading later from some different location is most likely not gonna overload everything. May not be as good in terms of live-feed-style evidence, but having the local net break down would not help that goal one bit either.

if there are not paid agitators now, there will be. proud boys, maga, "anarchists" and others are already brigading imgur comment section, trying to agitate for protestors to become physically violent.
we are trying to persuade others to join us, not repel everyone from coming to a protest. don't give cops/ice/etc an excuse to be violent. they will instigate violence anyway, but we can't escalate or it gives trump an excuse to escalate even further. the solution to when a cop uses

excessive force is to take his house. sue them into the ground. idk if California has qualified immunity or not like we (NY) does, but if not you all need to change that.
Illinifan88
I don't doubt that there will be bad actors there to start violence, but I don't think they'll be paid.
The paid agitators are literally the cops. They don't diffuse anything. They only escalate.
MatureDendriticCell
I won't comemnt on LA because it's not my city. But NYPD will act very predicably every single time. They are chill up until the minute someone start an acab chant and starts throwing things, then they escalate. The solution is to not start anything. People hate to hear it, but a few people will be arrested wrongly or targeted. You just have to take it, and sue later. Escalating violence with a trained, armed force wirh superior communcations and other resources never helps. retreat & regroup
