I believe that much of the damage done to property during the Summer protests after the killing of George Floyd was done by infiltrators. I do not know if anyone was able to track to what degree. But I do know that the Minneapolis police station was burned down by the Boogaloo Bois. I saw someone in black "gear" scale the fence and knock it down, and encourage others to join him. It was live in the background while Ali Velshi was reporting. A couple of years later a reported identified the perpetrators as Boogaloo Bois.

If we don't identify infiltrators because we don't want to sound like "them", then one of their reverse psychology tactics is working.

Why did Mexican flags all of a sudden show up? Ice isn't only targeting Mexicans. Earlier on DU, someone mentioned that the appropriate flag to be waving is the American flag. I agree.

I hope this situation does not escalate. We need the protests to continue to be peaceful.

I also wonder if some of this escalation on the part of the administration take over is intended to instill a message of warning for the protests on the 14th. Intimidation is one of the grifter's favorite tactics.

Stay safe all!
