    Watched this live all day at work. So much of this shit went on. The whole thing with CHP trapped under the overpasses was set up to be a massacre, but the protestors didn’t kill them.

    No commander in his right mind would trap their troops on low ground like that unless it was a sacrifice.

      Or they know the violent threat they’re using as justification is total fiction.

        It seems to me like they are attempting to get protestors to escalate. After a martyr, the mental gymnastics and justifications will spiral with a blinding speed.

          Not even escalate, just retaliate at the same level. The first part of the video isn’t what will get played on or matter to the viewers of fox news.
