it was only a matter of time before suicidal libs decided to start taking officials down with them. like it observably works for the right so why not the center? they don't have theory to explain why it doesn't work - just moralizing about how violence is bad that doesn't hold up when you realize it can be justified as self- or community-defense.
The dude called the cops on himself. I don't want to play everything is an Op thing but damn, how nice for them to have an excuse to crack down on protestors before the judgment comes down.
