Police Violence at Trump Rallies and DHS

I remember that after the Occupy encampments were driven out, by a seemingly coordinated beatdown in all the major cities, it was leaked that DHS and FBI had indeed coordinated with the local cops.

Is it possible that we are seeing the same thing with the police reaction to protesters at the Trump events?

After all, it is well known that many Sanders supporters were also Occupy supporters, or even participants.

So does the Department of Corporation Security have a dog in this fight, to help in Trumps portrayal of those on the left with Bernie as violent troublemakers?

Like Occupy, will we learn the truth years afterward?

The campaigns then get a invoice to reimburse the dept for security. That is why he and Hillary have thrown them out. It is private event and police are kinda private security.

To the street outside of the rally as well?
That is where the,Kansas City protesters were attacked by mounted police and pepper fogged.
I don't know if the event security would include the area outside as well.
