I saw a pallet of bricks that had been dropped off in San Diego. Now a pile of bricks I can understand as an anarchist preparation, but a pallet? Could it be a group doing the equivalent of leaving a loaded gun around hoping someone would use it?
"Apparently, this was North Eastern University police taking bricks off the street to not damage the campus. They were not staging anything but making sure things won't get damaged by bad actors. Source the original poster of the video."
Followed by the OP saying as much. Please don't post stuff like this without actually looking into it... It's misinformation
The probability of people noticing a stack of bricks during these protest is VASTLY greater than the probability of people noticing a stack of bricks in regular times.
Without positive evidence of a conspiracy, this seems rather conspiratorial to me.
Doesn’t seem like there’s enough evidence that this is actually happening. The video from the reddit post has scaffolding to the left. And why surround the bricks with fences and signs?
The reddit poster dismisses this with “look at the other links people have posted here”. These are basically 3 or 4 photos or grainy videos of bricks in a city. Some photos don’t have bricks at all.
There is the supposed video of police leaving bricks. They seem to be examining bricks in the back of their car, and lining a few up on the side of their car (not on the roadside). Not very convincing.
Not saying this isn’t happening, but the evidence is literally a few photos of bricks in cities at this point. I expect most of the time we pass by piles of construction bricks without noticing them
If you're looking for conspiracy theories/FUD everywhere, you'll surely find it. This is what happens when people don't temper the hobgoblins of their minds with facts and the acceptance of unknowability.

Unlikely folks on a worksite would've thought 'there might be a riot this weekend - we should move these bricks somewhere else'

Also cops were being very careful with bricks and in no hurry to dump/unload
Unconvincing
