Antifa is not a grass roots organization. They are organized by top level democrats in power. That is why they expect the police to be wielded by those politicians in their favor. Behind the scenes I guarantee those democrats are handing down punishments and making reforms so next time Antifa is favored. There is a clash between the agency the police have over their own actions and the power from above which tires to control them.

The police are being stood down from above, even when it is obvious they should be standing their ground and protecting the public and the city from these violent thugs. The Chaz was created by the mayor of Seattle when she told the police to abandon the police precinct before any "protesters" every even came there.

Antifa are using violence to push their agenda and they will eventually be met with violence. They expect that the very police and military they want to destroy will protect them. If that sounds illogical, it is.

The people actually organizing this aren't that stupid. Their goal is not the destruction of police but the implementation of martial law. The goal is to have Antifa and patriots fighting in the streets so they can justify tyrannical oppression using brutal military tactics. In the end a bunch of sheep die and the elite get their military dictatorship.
