Nobody seems to be able to catch the people who do this to protesters:

Is it outside of the realm of possibility that someone put the tape there in order to send a symbolic message of another kind? Something along the lines of a statement that the contributions of African Americans are being marginalized?

If that is not possible, then what, specifically, renders that not possible?

One thing to note about law students, incidentally, is that every one of them provided a fingerprint to take the LSAT. Additionally, should they graduate and attempt to pass the bar and become an attorney, they have to provide a full set of prints as part of the background check, and these prints aren't thrown away.
