The accompanying Tweet also accused an anti-fascist group Antifa, and "professional anarchists" from domestic terrorist to instigate by "staging stones and gun violence". It did not support any evidence for this claim.

Earlier in the week, we have investigated some of The Videos in the Assembly, and found that the stones were there before the protests began, often on construction projects in different cities.

A recent video from Dallas of this kind has been observed, More Than seven million times on Twitter. It shows a masked protester in front of some of the stones say: "This is a set-up", and that there is "no construction" in the vicinity.

But the Chicago police say that the rumors are "false" and explain that The Officer was to help The Victim of a burglary in the vicinity, and the pictures show to help The Detective , load the goods in The Shop -the owner of The Car .

We have seen many examples of Old videos, and re-released without clear labelling.

A video of an African-American man, the people asked not to destroy his business in large parts on TikTok. The posts imply, it is from the recent protests, but the video is actually from 1992.

He says: "It is true, I came from The Ghetto . Same as all of you have. "
