“This was a classic leftist tactic from the 1960s.

Taunt and provoke the police and hope somebody over-reacts.”

Past couple days I’ve seen stories of what could be police overreacting. I know they are only human but damn doing this to an old person?

If you have a lineup of one hundred policemen, the odds are reasonable that one of them is either not the brightest bulb, is on steroids and lacks self-control, or is just having a bad day (wife cheating etc).

That is the real world, and the leftist provocateurs count on it.

"Taunt and provoke the police and hope somebody over-reacts.”

Actually, that's the left's tactic with society in general, and conservatives in particular. They keep pushing on the craziest points, making ludicrously false claims which the MSM let go unchallenged, escalating tension, engaging in rioting and looting, HOPING to get an extreme overreaction. They are trying to create white-supremacists and right-wing militias. That is one of their fondest dreams.
