If you are viewing POV footage of protests we are constantly seeing police officers instigate protesters by taking personal civilian property like cameras and cell phones. Protesters then retaliate. It is NOT accurate to assume that protesters are just "attacking" police.

If you have more footage documenting police officers instigating protesters please feel free to drop it into this thread. Major media outlets often don't see or obtain footage like this for air or choose not to use it.
