…if you look at who was targeted, there were surely white supremacists targeting minority-owned/associated buildings under cover of chaos, and sure, some of them could have been plainclothes police. And I know there were drunk idiots who don’t give a damn about the people, and just thought setting things on fire would be funny.
None of that undermines Ian’s point re burning of the 3rd precinct being a sincere expression of grievance by the aggrieved.
