Looks like it to me.
The LA raids look to me like they were deliberately timed to be the forerunner to his military parade on Saturday. It was predictable that the people of a large, liberal, diverse city in a liberal state would push back against the ICE raids.
On 1/6/21 Trump got cheated out of his opportunity to be at the Capitol with his insurrectionist militias to announce his win "officially" and then declare martial law to enforce it. So this Saturday's parade is his chance for a do over. He can announce a national emergency and martial law with great ceremony and fanfare while military forces march in DC. He would use the LA protests to justify his actions.

(302 posts)There is something bigger that will happen, probably right after the parade. The parade is actually a disguise to fortify the White House. The fascist pig will use the tanks to surround the White House once he declares martial law. So far, the fascist pig has figured out that he can control each state's National Guard, now he has to see who is behind him in the military.
