anyone promoting for people to start showing up and shooting at law enforcement, even if it is ICE, is what if not an agitator?

where is the line? I was fine with the word until it started being used to justify killing innocents

I consider the term to be a label of a bad-faith actor vs. someone who holds genuine conviction that the "agitating action" is a good thing.

A Chinese bot farmer who says we should be shooting each other? Agitator.

A neighbor who says "If I see LEO murder someone, I'm taking them on"? Not an agitator.
