This is fucking stupid. The arrest happened, they gave him a moment to wrap up, but it was clear he was going to keep talking to the camera in that spot until the police did something physical to stop him.

Interesting, the masks police officers are wearing in this video are different from the mask the guy breaking windows. And people say it was a police mask.

You don't think the pink masked cop was an agent provocateur?

There is plenty of evidence that these protests were exacerbated by outside interests.

Relevance for what I said?

People were saying the guy was wearing a police gas mask, his "police gas mask" was not like other police gas mask we see, in fact it had some pink which is not a colour that we associate with police.

Are you saying police all wear the same mask?

It's called standard issue.

Not all of their gear is standard issue. Some of it is, some of it isn't. What leads us to believe that no one cop has a mask that is different from all the others?

The provocateurs face mask wouldn't for under the face shield of the riot gear.

They're different masks.

The police have been militarized and have a huge variety of options. The pink filters wouldn't be standard issue either.

These are non-standard situations.

"Standard issue" doesn't apply here.

Who the video commentator?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

YES.

On Friday's Dollar Vigilante podcast he said something like:.

I woke up in Friday as saw that the police has arrested some CNN reporters, and thought to myself that today might be a pretty good day.

I'm paraphrasing, but I would agree; except most of CNN is fake.

To good to be true.

Oh I agree, but to insult anybody who was taken in by their fakeness is just being a low-life asshole.
