to use violence in protests against a Trump arrest. By claiming that "the government" and "the Democrats" are preparing to use violence against protesters, they are setting the stage to make it look like any violence that occurs will be caused by "the government" or by Democratic counter demonstrators.

Why would they need to create that image in people's minds prior to the protests if they didn't already intend to make the protests violent? They are setting up in advance an image of "peaceful protests" like the claim of "peaceful tourists" in DC on J6.
