This is the most defensive post Ive ever read, are you a cop or do you just eat boots for breakfast?

You need to read more if you think that post is anything special. And no. I'm not a cop nor do I have any special love of cops. I do not, however, have any hatred of cops. I view cops to be like any group: Some are good, some are corrupt and some are incompetent. The cops that attack that officer for no reason are obviously corrupt. And any cop that attacks anyone for "no reason" are also corrupt.

I simply find the notion that cops are trying to rile up protesters to be illogical. From their perspective all that would do is make their job harder and put them in more danger. On what level would they benefit from something like starting a riot? I just don't see it. Yes, I guess you could say politicians benefit from protestors looking bad. But then what does it become? Some huge conspiracy where Trump is having his lackeys order the police to infiltrate protests to make them look bad to give him talking points? Nah. That's too much of a stretch. And even if it was true, wouldn't that just make the cops pawns and the politicians the actual bad guys?
