Hang on…
The orders from the top were to stand down and disarm, and many anons have speculated this was because the clowns wanted a violent altercation between security and the crowd. The stand-down order by Esper took this ammo right out of the enemy's hands. And what happened? No violence. Esper may have known in advance that Antifa was taken out of the game…BUT…
…that's not to say there weren't rogue/compromised actors or elements of the ng that were still trying to provoke an incident or incite the crowd. This pilot MAY have been just such a person.
Not drawing conclusions either way…but keep an open mind.
