This is... Not evidence of coordination, but of network effects. The same reason that hockey fans descending into a riot after losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals is not an indication that they organized a riot.

Network effects build from coordination. Not always, but when protesters organize across states and countries, it's coordinated.
