38. Bingo!

The cops are perfectly capable of putting a stop to vandalism in these cases - they were clearly capable of deploying hundreds of cops at a moments notice when Occupiers did such horrible things like jaywalking or sitting down.

But they did absolutely nothing when a group of thugs started smashing shit. They could have easily had a moderate response, which say, could have arrested the vandals while letting non-violent and law-abiding protesters continue to march. In some towns, they actually do that.

These were agents provocateurs, pure and simple. Probably undercover cops or Pinkertons. And the cops were deliberately allowing them to smash shit.
