This is what the police WANT.

White supremacists will begin the war that the police can't start themselves in earnest.

They will be the key to the police authorization to kill protesters. https://twitter.com/TheRealCoryElia/status/1299908378810957825
Deadly civilian violence against civilians in protest will be the justification for deadly police violence against civilians in protest

Yes. You read that right.
Here's how this will play out.

1) Police will aid and abet and keep a hands off policy with regard to white supremacists

2) They will allow violent escalation

3) They will stand aside and allow murder and assault. Repeatedly.

4) They will increase the risk of protesting...
5) Eventually, civilians protesting will start becoming increasingly armed as a protective measure.

6) The moment someone protesting fires back at a white supremacist and wounds them? The police get the go ahead to kill at protests, which is what Blue Lives Matter is about.
7) Eventually someone is going to fire back at police and that will be the beginning of the end.

8) The police will abandon all restraint. And the government will support it.

9) All protests will be "bad protests" and the news media will echo this line.
10) The ultimatum put forward by the police is 'Quietly let white supremacists kill you or we will massacre you all."

By demanding this untenable position, Police guarantee the outcome they want.

Their plan makes escalation inevitable.

They're itching to kill.
This is why this is important right now. Critical even. https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/1287836400814116870
The next few months are going to be not only physical conflict but a PR war.

The imagery will MATTER.

The narrative the police want is American Hero Police vs anti-American terrorists.

Moderate America will EAT THAT UP.
What we want is the ACTUAL narrative.

Rogue law enforcement attacking America.

The police trampling on the Flag.

United States of America fighting for ideals versus the private army of the New Confederacy
Fascism works not because it's goals are appealing but because its propaganda machine is effective.

We have to have a functional counterbalance to that propaganda.

America roots for teams.
It's shallow like that.

Use it.
