I’m not going to post or RT any more about police targeting media at #BlackLivesMatter protests. (Thread).

Make no mistake. It is a big deal - it violates democratic norms. It discourages people from joining protests. It shows escalation of state violence.

But... Media reporting about media experiences at protests is a great way to “report” on the protests without actually reporting on protestors’ demands and experiences.

I want to hear from protest leaders, community members, mayors and elected reps, police leadership. Not other media.
