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?
