Mid-level violence. They do just enough where the law should intervene but won't, to prevent "escalation," then wait for their provocation to erupt in predictable frustration and outbursts that the law will then intervene upon and which will be filmed and used as propaganda. https://twitter.com/LeonydusJohnson/status/1391029026815369221
If you think the activists doing this don't know EXACTLY what they're doing and how to do it, that they're not trained [Marxists], you misunderstand the situation

Lawmakers and law enforcement need a viable counterstrategy. It's an easily understood tactic that must be countered
At a minimum, police should be empowered, instructed, and backed in the effort to prevent these groups from blocking traffic, arresting those who persist in the behavior or who subsequently resist that arrest. Laws and departments should back them in this unequivocally.
District Attorneys who drop the charges against offenders of this type should be vigorously recalled or otherwise removed from their positions by any legal means. This requires public pressure, so people who are sick of this, or rightly fear it, need to organize and push for it.
Lawmakers, police brass, police officers, and others with a stake in the game need to read manuals like "Beautiful Trouble" to understand and counter these sorts of "Good Trouble" activities. Politicians who sport "Good Trouble" messages should be punished by their constituents.
