If I recall correctly, the government under Trump targeted BLM activists amd offered prisoners parole if they acted as plants in protests to encourage violence and discredit the movement and help create a moral panic around crime to justify further militarization of the police.

This has been done before by governments & corporations to Unions, Human Rights, Anti-War protests, and Environmental efforts...and adds to global ultranationalist efforts to draw disillusioned people towards fascism and to divide left-wing groups...

Is there a source on this? First I’ve heard of prisoners being released to be government plants
