Police bring violence to bear, condemn it and blame others

Yep. The whole thing stinks. Cops have a nasty habit of either intentionally escalating, or at the very least, not trying to de-escalate protests and similar large scale events

The police didn't bring any violence, have you watched any footage at all of these fuckwit protesters? They are there to create conflict.
