The government wants further violence to justify mass crackdown, a political purge, and a few public executions, (maybe shooting some protestors to death while they are at it).
They know good and god damned well, that this kind of thing will only agitate people more, which is what they are hoping to do.
If they were that certain of their ability to control the entire chain of events, they wouldn't have spent the last year literally pissing themselves in terror of people literally being able to walk near them. They'd have actually done something in response beyond bullying a bunch of guys with unconstitutional jailings.
I'm sure a couple of top feds are sitting smug about how they will totally enact full dictator control if the plebs even breathe wrong, while also posting tough guy posturing all over the place on top of it. But the observable reality demonstrates the opposite. A complete lack of any control, let alone ability to act out any form of mass crackdown beyond their shitty urban sprawls.
That's my point. They know they don't have the political capital they need yet to machine gun unarmed protestors Apartheid style. They're willing and able, they just don't have the rationalization for it yet. They need violence in order to do that.
And still, it's only rarely going to be the actual police. They'd much rather let Antifa do the hard work of burning people's homes down. Then they can roll into the city as a force "just trying to maintain peace", and seizing their homes and selling it to their favorite developer.
And that was my point. They aren't able. They think they might kinda be, but they definitely want you to think they are. Because that's the only true shield they have left, the illusion of power that we saw shimmer by a bunch of retards walking into a building.
That's why they are clamping on it so hard, because it revealed they really aren't as able and all powerful as they want you to think. Further "violence" might justify a response from them, but they have little ability to carry beyond a very minimal (relatively) reaction to try and maintain the illusion of them being this all powerful entity that you stand no chance of fighting.
By default, power is illusory. I agree with you that maintaining that illusion is their most important (and one of the few remaining) lines of defense. However, they are able to do specific things. Let a lynchmob roam free, machine gun some protestors, arrest some politicians, and disbar some attorneys. They absolutely have all the power and ability to do all of those things.
Total Soviet Gulag, though, is beyond their control, and why civil disobedience is necessary in regards to tyrannical and illegal government actions.
