(90,950 posts)I tend to suspect that there will be plenty of the provocateurs of the type who will be there specifically to incite violence and disrupt what would otherwise be peaceful protest. A self-fulfilling prophecy already put forth by the governor and others who are already predicting violence. The James O'Keeffe types who are paid to do this. I recall many videos of other peaceful protests where off duty cops dressed up in civilian clothes and marched with protesters for a time then when close to the police line started acting out to provoke the police into a retaliatory mode and all hell broke loose with many real protesters being injured and arrested. Interestingly the faux protesters were taken aside and released to cause more trouble... and they were recorded doing this by the citizen/protesters holding cameras.
It's not what I want to see but it is what I expect will happen given all those who want to maintain the status quo of keeping the poor, underserved and non-white down.
Just sayin'
