Possibly, but I wouldn't bet on it. Back in the day of anti-Vietnam War marches and protests, the ones we had to watch out for were class-privileged lefty white men. They'd sometimes try to provoke police officers into beating up on peaceful protesters, in the belief that this would "radicalize" the latter.

Hm. In Richmond, VA. the majority of those arrested were right wing instigators, when protests over statues were at their height. Your comparison does align with the Palestinian protests, I think.
