    One agent in a crowd of unarmed people will not cause that effect.

    It will if police are present and are looking for an excuse to violently quash protest.

      I just want you to recognise the difference between “police mows down a crowd of unarmed protesters” and “police crushed armed insurrection in an intense shootout”.

        It just takes one provocateur to make that difference. The number of actual firearms at the protest doesn’t matter as long as there’s one, which the provocateur can bring.
