That's actually what the Minneapolis police did for real when they shattered windows with bricks to escalate the riots, there's footage of a disguised officer throwing a brick to shatter storefront windows, and that's what set the peaceful protests in to riots.

Agent provocateur, it's called.

There was never any evidence presented that it was a cop, just claims by protesters/rioters.

He was wearing police-issue clothing, including police boots. And it happened exactly across the street from the police station that later burned down the next day

Like i said before, the only "evidence" is conjecture from criminals and retards

The reason this wont actually work at a large scale, is because the "rioters" (aka insurgents) have coordinated ring leaders, who in turn answer to the higher ups, whoever those may be cough cough.

Thus, any group without a "handler" will be outed and taken actual action against, while any group with one will have to follow his orders, or - again - outed and taken action against.

On a more serious note, I really do think the first wave of arrests were pulling out any undercover agents that had embedded themselves with the rioters before they started making people disappear.
