The ruling class have lots of excuses for why cops should bash kids' head in for disagreeing with them. It's always "outside agitators," "Russian disinformation," or "the TikTok."
If the protesters really were fake ultra-violent professionals instead of ordinary college students, they'd be on campus with AR-15s and shit, not bike chains and empty water canisters.
But there's an audience of older, conservative people who want a reason to hate these kids.
