<Martin Gugino is a 75-year-old professional agitator and Antifa provocateur .


Professional Agitator. Leave out the word professional - no proof that he was being paid to do it. He has 4 arrest records most likely for protesting. Thats why he was there at the rally. There are people who believe in protesting. His first movie choice is Gandhi, about a man who spent all his life protesting non-violently against the British.


Antifa provocateur? Thats seems made up. What else is?


From his websites, his tastes in movies, music, and books seem pretty moderate and sane. He seems to be a little bit in Bernie camp.

<Every “victim” of police brutality, it seems, is a crisis actor.>

Did you see in the video how the cop turned to the side and spit on the fallen man as he lay there bleeding? I can understand the push may have been in the moment. But the spitting by the cop shows his attitude. You cannot say that an unconscious man provoked him to do that. It will be interesting to check that cop's history for excessive force, whether this was an aberration or more common.

>In this slow motion video, you will see Gugino using a phone as a capture scanner.>

Or maybe he had a picture of Floyd or a logo of Black Lives Matter on his phone screen and was using it like a sign to show the approaching cops, like others were using larger card board signs. Was he trying to scan all the way from 10 feet while walking with his cell phone with the screen visible to the approaching cops?

I think we will find out more details when his lawyer sues the city.
