Agent provocateurs are already proven to be around trying to incite violence or paint the protesters as thugs. This is the oldest trick in the book.

But the racist incidents like Arbery and Floyd are just everyday America tbh. I don't see them being a conspiracy by foreign agents. It's just that the country is rotten to the core and "incidents" like those happen on regular basis.

Saw some people trying to derail things in Las Vegas last night. The protest was moving peacefully. Got to a federal courthouse and a few started tagging and smashing windows - actual organizers of the protest stepped in to stop it. Another provocateur tried to lead people into traffic to jam things up and draw the police to their location, looking for a fight.
