FBI Asks for Evidence of Individuals Inciting Violence During Protests, People Respond With Videos of Police Violence
By Jason Lemon On 6/2/20 at 1:01 PM EDT
The FBI on Monday posted to social media a request for photos and videos of individuals provoking violence during the nationwide peaceful demonstrations over the killing of George Floyd last week. But many on Twitter quickly began sharing video clips and photos of police cracking down violently on protesters.
"The FBI is seeking information and digital media depicting individuals inciting violence during First Amendment protected peaceful demonstrations," the FBI wrote on its Twitter account. The post included a link to get more information on the bureau's website.

(11,885 posts)Have to start getting worried now. The pictures and video's will soon be their own downfall as soon as trumps gone. They will be used as evidence and more people need to record more of these people to use to prevent it from continuing. Maybe businesses need to help by offering rewards for video's of looters or arsonists, and cities need to announce they want these people in their police departments who've been videoed breaking the law with oppression or violence .knowing you will be videoed, and it used to prosecute with and id'd with will deter many. Those that are doing the violence or looting will be gone after, and pay.,

Trump, Barr and the rest of the sycophants have no intention of losing power. They will stop at nothing to hold on to that power.
Look what he/they got away with when he took charge of the Mueller Investigation.
