When FBI informants infiltrated protest groups at the RNC, did they incite them to violence?

Question

Don't FBI informants infiltrate groups so they can convince young protesters to do crazy things so the police can arrest them?

The passersby at the RNC four years ago in NYC were minding their business and were swept up by police.

This time FBI informants may have given protesters enough direction so they could be legitimately arrested, right?

Answer 1

They were communicating with each other over the internet and their planning obviously triggered keyword warning to the FBI. Some were arrested early, some were not. Become more informed, dearie.

A better question would be to ask why protesters thought it would be ok to throw bags of cement at conventioneers buses (could kill) and bleach at their faces (could blind).

Answer 2

this will not be tollerated in st.paul and the police and national guard are doing a very good job securing the area and keeping the peace!

Answer 3

You need to adjust the tin foil on your head, the WAVES are getting in.
