The anger over George Floyd's death has led to protests across the country and the situation is worsening by the day. While some are protesting peacefully, others have resorted to violence, looting and vandalism to rebel against the law enforcement after Floyd was killed in custody when a Minneapolis police officer pinned him down with his knee over his neck last week.
A state of emergency has been declared in several states and the National Guard has stepped in to deal with the intensifying unrest. However, a new video clip has started circulating on social media suggesting that law enforcement might be inciting violence by leaving bricks on the street for protestors to use and damage property.
Boston Police Truck Filled With Bricks
A video clip, shared by a Twitter user named Alexander Parker, shows two Boston Police officers unloading bricks from their truck inside what appears to be an alleyway as they carefully place them on a brick pallet on the right-side of the vehicle. The truck's bed is filled to the brim with hundreds of bricks.
The person recording the video points out that the bricks could be for undercover police officers or agent provocateurs that are getting involved in the protests to encourage violence so that police have an "excuse to beat the s**t out of them."
The video has garnered more than 350,000 views and racked up hundreds of comments with many claiming the police are "planting" bricks at protest sites and streets, which they claim is a tactic used to turn peaceful protests violent and justify the use of excessive force on rioters.

Well they certainly have bricks in the back of the vehicle. No sign of them stacking them on a pallet though, looks to be placing them on the bed rail of the vehicle.
Perhaps counting how many they found. Strange place to be counting the bricks although not sure of the location.
Certainly odd unless video is looking down at a police headquarter area (does not look like a headquarter though)
Odd video for sure.
I don’t even think that they were asked.
> I don’t even see anyone handling bricks in that video. <
I didn’t either, until I enlarged the video. Then they sure looked like bricks. But as to whether or not those guys are actually cops, who knows?
Possible FAKE NEWS.

RE: It’s in the back of their police station. They gathered the bricks from the streets and have put them in a secure location. Nothing more nothing less.
Yep, the timeline from the photos could have been deceptive. The police might have stumbled upon the cache of bricks and decided to take them away from the scene of the possible protest to prevent them from tempting agitators to incite people to use them.
Those numbers look digitally added to me. Angles are off and way too clean and bright. I call BS.
I have also read that fake police cars were seen containing antifa-type persons surveilling areas to choose targets to attack. This may have been one of those fake police vehicles. It just does not compute that the Boston cops would facilitate damage to the community they are sworn to protect. Of course, I am utterly disgusted to see photos of Boston and NYPD cops kneeling, and absolutely nauseous to see the NYPD commissioner taking a knee. If THAT is the top cop there, G-d should help the populace. He and Justin Trudeau are probably drinking buddies-—”Hand me ‘nother Kool-Aid, J-boy!”
You, in uniform, would spit on someone...
Sounds like its a good thing you’re no longer wearing whatever uniform it was. Unless you were a sanitation worker.
Thats worse still.
What people are failing to see is the difference between the actual protestors, and the looters and rioters who are moving in where ever they hear of a protest going on.
Both my daughter and my best friend who live in tow very distant cities, report the same thing happening, that isn’t making the MSM news.
There’s a protest and as soon as the protestors are dispersing, car loads of people show up, jump out, and start looting and rioting.
The police are not opposing the protestors and Trump is not threatening them.
They are going after the opportunists who are causing the wanton destruction and chaos.
As a (former) Boston resident of more than 30 years, I have never seen a police vehicle remotely resembling this one. Plus it’s over acted. Calling this BS.
There are posts speculating on the theory that they are just unloading bricks at the police station that were recovered from the riot scenes....i hope.
Feel free Kneel before Zod if you want. Twenty 4 years US Navy. You can kiss my ass.
Looking at that last photo of the bricks around a tree, it looks they about to perform some repairs/replacement as evident of the chalk/paint marks on some of the bricks. They might be digging up that area and would need replacements. Doesn’t mean someone couldn’t come along and pick some up.
Of course if protesters were non-violent, none of the bricks would leave the pallets.
Agent provocateurs were a “thing” in the 1960s with Operation COINTELPRO.
They have always been a tool in the tool-kit of intelligence agencies around the world.
I would not be too quick to rule it out in the case of the “bricks”.
Taken to the Nth degree, this crap won’t end until every building on the planet is reduced to rubble and the populace looks like that out of a zombie movie.
So let’s all perpetuate this crap. Right?
“wait. full stop. you think that the boston police department is conspiring with antifa in inciting riots?”
Makes more sense than they are doing it to be able to then use excessive force.
The cops are called friendlies. In league with the “resistance”.
How down the rabbit hole this is, I have no idea.
I’d like to think this must be fake.
id like to think cops are on the side of law and order, not heir pensions.
I’d like to think cops don’t want anarchy, then martial law, then nationwide gun confiscations.
I’d really like to...
