I challenge the parties to my right politically to lead the way to identify these people and to engage with the prosecutor's office to investigate their activity and indict them if appropriate.

Not all speech is protected by the first amendment. You cannot shout fire in a theater when there is no fire and claim first amendment protection. Similarly, if these individuals encouraged both sides - peaceful, even if law-breaking, protestors to assault the police, and police simply doing their job as they understand it, to assault the protestors through excessive use of force - than it should be much harder for these individuals to claim any constitutional protection for alleged behavior.

None of us need a riot. None of us need to assault a police officer. None of us need to be assaulted by a police officer. The described behavior appears to simple incitement to riot. The political persuasion of the inciters should not be a consideration.

Will the folks here who espouse such respect for law, such disdain for law-breakers, be consistent and work to bring these law-breakers to justice?

I challenge any of you who have mentioned law-breaking as part of your disagreement with the protest to be consistent and work on bringing these apparent law-breakers to justice.
