This is smart tactics. Martyrdom is a super powerful force for social change, especially when the people are governed by emotion rather than logic (which most of us are). Christianity is a thing because of the martyrdom of Jesus. The Arab Spring sparked off because a fruit vendor self-immolated. BLM became popular because much of America decided to make him a hero instead of the loser drug addict felon that he was. Kent State. MLK. The Boston Massacre. Ruby Ridge. The list goes on and on.
That's one of the reasons so much of the left's protests are about provoking a response from the government. The want dead people. They NEED dead people. It's what keeps the populace interested, fearful, angry, and motivated. They will continue to try to get people on their own side killed in order to stoke outrange and hold themselves up as victims. Crybully bullshit works, unfortunately.
