"...that police action involving the use of physical force under the circumstances would further insight the crowd and produce more violent behavior."

Insight? Insight? Try "incite"

Does the press even understand homonyms anymore?

They're not even homonyms: In each word, the emphasis is on a different syllable.

Yes but if they point it out they'll be labeled homophobic

Homonyms have rights too.
Unless they self identify as something else...

No, I think that the reporter accidentally used the right word. The Mexican flag-waving thugs in San Jose now understand that they can assault anyone they disagree with, and the police will do nothing to stop them. That’s an insight that will incite those animals—and others elsewhere—to commit even worse acts. Sooner or later, somebody is going to get killed, and, mysteriously, it will be Trump’s fault.

More specifically, they’re homophones. Although actually, as thesharkboy noted, they’re not even that.

Hell, if you say "homonym" they are probably looking for a homo nymph.
