Conservative propaganda to scare the base and make sure they vote Repub in Nov.. These protests and any reform they might force in policing will not cost the rich or corporate America anything in the way of money or power, but they will probably succeed in fooling the masses into thinking we still have a functioning and responsive democracy when it comes to protest. What would really make the ruling class sweat would be a repeat of the Occupy movement that started in the spring and went all the way to winter with tens of millions out there on the streets. That would truly look like revolution against the 1%.
