I don’t know if it’s true or not, but one old cop from the Vietnam era told me that during some of the anti-war protests, the female yippees would conceal razorblades in their hands, jostle cops and slap their own faces to make a bright bloody wound that would serve as the starting gun for a general riot.
Other protesters (not necessarily part of the moonbat wing) would see the poor yippee screaming and covered with blood, assume she was beaten by a cop and charge to her ‘rescue’, resulting in the kind of huge fracas the protesters wanted.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the current batch were just as crazy.
That’s seriously disturbing.
Let’s hope no one starts using the tactic you describe. Protesters are becoming more and more violent already, both physically and with property damage. A tactic like that may get a cop injured or killed.
I, personally, knew folks that did things like that back then. The difference is, however, most of my friends grew up. They don't see things the same way-—at all! They're some of the most conservative people I know. (We feel like we have lots to make up for. Penance, I call it.)
