If the protests in Los Angeles are supposed to be peaceful, why is brand new riot gear being trucked in and given to the protesters?  And why isn't this making front page news all over the country?  First of all, protesters only need riot gear if riots are going to break out.  Secondly, it is becoming clear that someone purchased large quantities of riot gear in advance.  So who funded those purchases, and who knew that riots would erupt in Los Angeles at this specific time?  If corporate news outlets in this country were still employing real journalists, those are the types of questions that those journalists would be asking.

As Eric Daugherty has accurately pointed out, Fox News actually captured footage of "bionic shields" that normally cost 60 dollars each being handed out to rioters on the streets of Los Angeles…

PAID-FOR "bionic shields" are being trucked in for the Los Angeles rioters.

These cost around $60, each…and there are BOXES and BOXES of them being handed out.

"That's not the kind of thing that you buy in bulk if you don't plan on doing something with it…"

They are planning for a CLASH.

This an enormous scandal.

Why aren't more people talking about this?

According to Newsweek, the "bionic shields" were being handed out by two women as "a masked driver waited for them to unload the goods"…

TV cameras have captured boxes of "bionic shields" being distributed to protesters in Los Angeles on Monday.

Footage of the scene showed boxes of solid, full-face masks—almost akin to helmets—being handed out from the back of a pickup truck by two women while a masked driver waited for them to unload the goods.

The footage has sparked concerns among some that external agitators are facilitating riots by equipping crowds for potential clashes with the police or National Guard. However, others say the masks are safety gear, worn as a precaution after protesters were injured by rubber bullets that the authorities fired.
