The striking thing is that it looks like all protesters are white people.
Is this a white nationalism movement that could cull their herd?

You notice how well armed they are?

But the group as a whole (agents, cops) tend to be socially conservative and likely will soft peddle dealing with the alt-right with the force that they should be handled with. One of the goals of some anti-government and supremacist groups is to kill cops and FBI agents first off, because they see them as impediments. In Las Vegas a couple years back, a white supremacist killed two cops and posed their bodies, it was all part of his ideology that cops were the enemy.

It may not be the fault of the individual agents but of those in charge (Trump and Barr for example).

I know of none. The biggest threats to law enforcement agents at every level are violent rightwing groups, cops helped those groups grow by being soft on them, now they have to deal with their own Frankenstein.

(2,538 posts)A guy comes up and I say its cool we can do this. The numb-nuts down in Huntington fucked themselves. Guy starts up saying that Newsom is a commie and how ridiculous it is going overboard for what just amounts to a flu. I let him finish then said guess Vietnam was just a bad cold. Let it go thud turned and went to put on my wetsuit. Surf wasnt that great but leaving the land behind me was.

(31,261 posts)a big proponent for the things that they are protesting against, and challenged their current soul mates face to face (peacefully) on the issues. That has happened before.
The worst case? I think some of those people will likely end up dead, killed by their own stupidity.

And they want to convince themselves that Trump is a far superior President and Person than Obama. That Obama was a Disaster but Trump right now is just "perfect" .
