Videos show Boston thugs attacking BLM protesters and spewing hatred at them.

The hatred is important because it tends to preclude acting like a police office rather than a thug.

I wonder whether the people who started the "violent protests" were real protesters, or right-wing provocateurs. We know that right-wing provocateurs did this in Minneapolis.

The provocateurs succeeded in leading real protesters to go berserk, and that may have poisoned the public's perception of the protests.

I have no specific information, but we know that right-wing extremists communicate around the country and even internationally. If it was effective in Minneapolis, they would surely have tried it in other cities.
