      Both can be true. But only if you have enough people in either case.

      If you want for the police to get an excuse to mow you down with a tank that is. They so wish some of you have guns so they can kill you and have a ready and ironclad excuse

          One agent in a crowd of unarmed people will not cause that effect. But if everyone is on edge and carrying a gun, then yes, one will be enough to cause full blown massacre.

            It will if police are present and are looking for an excuse to violently quash protest.

              I just want you to recognise the difference between “police mows down a crowd of unarmed protesters” and “police crushed armed insurrection in an intense shootout”.

                It just takes one provocateur to make that difference. The number of actual firearms at the protest doesn’t matter as long as there’s one, which the provocateur can bring.

        It’s not like they’re above shooting unarmed protestors. Just compare how cops dealt with cop city with the Bundy occupation.
