Black Klansman - Ron Stallworth

Ooh, the college I went to just got mentioned. One of its professors (no name provided) attended an anti-KKK rally. The police had been informed that protesters were planning to burn KKK members' cars and instead found peaceful protesters. The next few pages are about the potential for violence increasing as people became more aware of the KKK presence in the city.

 

You could replace "KKK" with "alt-right" and "leftist factions" with "antifa" and this would read like something referring to protests this year. Either way, I'd personally be more concerned with KKK/alt-right activity than leftist faction/antifa, but I suppose the police perspective is different.
