The looters in Ferguson are reportedly total strangers to the community In most cases, political protestors are nonviolent and do everything they possibly can to avoid clashes with the police. Demonstrators are well aware that they are out-matched in terms of firepower and are only getting out in the streets in large numbers to show how much support is behind their message. Almost every single time there is a public protest, the authorities are unsympathetic and use heavy force to intimidate anyone who may want to resist in the future. Although, they don’t attack the protesters with guns blazing right away, because they know that it will further expose their oppressive nature and add credibility to the revolutionary movement. So agent provocateurs are used to instigate physical altercations between activists and authorities. Agent Provocateurs are people that work for the police, but pretend to be a part of an anti-establishment crowd. While undercover, these agents commit acts of violence and vandalism to give the police a pretense to use force against the demonstrators. Once the agent smashes one window or throws one rock on behalf of the group they have infiltrated, the authorities are able to send in the heavy guns and turn the protest into a war zone. 29-year-old Craig Ruffin, told the Riverfront Times that he believes the looters weren’t even from the community. “This is really tragic — we shop at all these stores,” he said. “I’m with the peaceful protesting. But this right here, this is not what we’re about.” Read More: trueactivist/ferguson-residents-say-looters-are-not-from-here-possible-agent-provocateurs/
