Listen. Here's the problem with what's happening.
The media is focused on whether protestors are being "calm" or "violent."
Police forces are brutalizing people, leaving them bloody, permanently injured, scarred. This is happening EVERY NIGHT.
The focus is all wrong.

IT IS NOT CALM.
The protestors are calm. They're doing everything anyone is asking of them. They're not rioting or looting. And yet, the police are still brutalizing them.
This narrative the media is pushing isn't just wrong, it's deadly.

Sure, the media is tired of this story and ready to move onto the next thing. Or tell a story of "redemption" or "healing." It's the product they're selling.
But we're all seeing it. The police are rioting every single night across the country. This narrative is simply false.

I knew this was going to happen with George Floyd's memorial. The news media is trained to treat these things like they're maybe a week long with beginnings and ends.
This isn't simple. It isn't clean. It's ugly, but it's true. The police are spilling blood everywhere.
