    A theory of why the cops in some places are ignoring looters and going after protesters.https://twitter.com/angryblackbiguy/status/1267667146513006592 …

    The strategy is to show you that without them the looters overrun the squishy people. Its a statement of power. They want regular people to get so fed up that regular people stop looking. Once the everyday ppl stop looking theyre really gonna go off on protesters.

        Maybe its a conspiracy. But I think its just laziness. Its easier brutalize peaceful protesters. Looters tend to move around and run away. It takes more effort and they are not suprised to be the recipient of state violence. Many cops can barely get out of their car.

        ...they're ignoring the looters because the looters justify violence against the protestors

        Occams razor. Its in their best interest that the riots are as violent as possible.

        Remember how, during the G7/G20 protests, the police in Toronto didn’t confront the black bloc during their destructive spree in the Financial District, instead focusing their efforts afterwards on the peaceful protesters at Queen’s Park.

        Incredible how this is playing out the same in city after city. Why, it almost seems coordinated...

        Also provoking peaceful protestors so as to encourage the protesters to appear more menacing.
