This is nothing new, as is mentioned in the transcript this sort of thing happened in the 70s, and probably has always happened in one form or another. I guess I’m wondering what the reasoning is from “law” enforcement’s POV. Is this an application broken windows theory? Are activists targeted because they aren’t following the instructions on their televisions? Is this a preventive way of protecting the metaphoric flow of commerce? Or is it just important to have intelligence on absolutely everything?
What is the mindset of a police officer or FBI agent that infiltrates these groups? Is it just a job, a lame assignment, or do they really believe they are making America safe for democracy?
