Well, during the Vietnam protests there were agitators who were specifically trying to provoke authorities into over reacting, and mainstream media who were trying to hype the protesters, just like they do today.

And we also had people who were deliberately trying to start riots.So Kent State today would likely be a blood bath 10 times worse.

Government authorities armed to the teeth with military equipment, gear, and snipers have no business being used against peaceful protesters. That's what the riot gear is for.

However, Boston demonstrated that we have indeed chosen a path a militarized type police state.

“Well, during the Vietnam protests there were agitators who were specifically trying to provoke authorities into over reacting...”

Good point. It doesn’t mean ONLY a Fed operator, but a wacko like that KKK guy that shot up that Jewish center or someone similar. Trying to provoke a civil war or whatever for their own purposes.
