That would most likely be a lot of Deep State govt. employees and NGOs.
Need to be careful here. As you pointed out, the media, big tech, etc, which is on their side will spin the propaganda. Use of coercive force can also backfire. Instead of intimidating someone into submission they may in turn go after you, your family, or even a third party that they see is on your side. A good term for it would be Unintended Consequences (hint: the book). It's much as @JimB I believe it was put it: if the response to their throwing bricks and water bottles was deadly force you only guarantee that next time the rioters will be armed with guns and IEDs.
Agree fully about who is behind these events and all the more reason to go after them.
I did not mean to necessarily us DF. Water cannons come to mind. Wash them into the next block!
