It seems to have become a standard part of the playbook for statist-leftist activism. A violent situation is created, with a pre-arranged narrative, complete with simplistic slogans for the public, then immediately spread by the complicit media.
A very specific and detailed government policy is then set in motion
For example, what was the purpose of the organized riots in Ferguson and Baltimore? It appeared to be a very specific set of DOJ controls on the thousands local police forces across the USA.
This is 100% correct. And we know what it’s going to take to put a stop to it.
