Protest Dynamics

  • Agitators redirected protesters towards police barriers, causing chaos and aggression.
  • Marshals from organized groups attempted to contain agitation by isolating agitators.
  • Agitators wore identifiable clothing (black outfits, metal shields).

Escalation Tactics

  • Coordinated efforts to dismantle barriers and create scenes reminiscent of January 6.
  • Antifa members changed clothes to evade recognition by law enforcement.

Organizational Structure

Conclusion
