I was following the protest a bit the other night, and I couldn't help but feel that Americans still have quite a lot to learn when it comes to how demonstrations work. It seemed somewhat strange to me when the crowd started heading toward Washington, D.C., specifically toward the NBC building. It’s such a long trek, so I suppose it would be perfectly natural if many people just gave up halfway through, causing the number of protesters to gradually dwindle. Some people even began to suspect things right there on the spot, and honestly, it is entirely possible that we were dealing with undercover provocateurs. That kind of thing isn't really unheard of in other countries, either.
I suppose this is something everyone participating in protests should probably read, because those undercover agents can truly become a significant problem.
I don't want to talk nonsense, so here are a few videos regarding these types of agents:

And here is a two-hour documentary:

For instance, during last year's G20 summit in New York City, the police were reportedly inserting their own people among the protesters to encourage unrest, which would then allow them to legitimately use force to disperse innocent demonstrators.
Good luck with the protests, and I hope you all stay vigilant against those provocateurs!
A provocateur is essentially someone who is infiltrated into a group of people, where their specific task is to incite members or the entire collective toward dangerous or illegal acts, which can then be used to compromise the target group.
State authorities, police departments, and intelligence agencies often make use of these provocateurs.
