Protests against police brutality are being met with police brutality. It’s difficult not to conclude that they don’t understand any other way to do their jobs. They are, themselves, again and again proving the urgency of these demonstrations. https://twitter.com/whitney_hu/status/1266540710188195843">https://twitter.com/whitney_h...

The NYPD has just driven an SUV directly into a large group of protesters.

As the tweet says, it& #39;s exactly this sort of behavior that has protestors on the streets fighting for justice. And they seem completely fine about doing this in front of a crowd/cameras. https://twitter.com/thedailyangle/status/1266917131653910529">https://twitter.com/thedailya...

A Vice News reporter targeted. This one is outrageous. He is holding up his press card. He repeatedly identifies as press. He complies when asked to get on the ground. And, despite that, the police pepper spray him. https://twitter.com/MichaelAdams317/status/1266945268567678976?s=20">https://twitter.com/MichaelAd...
These arrests and attacks on clearly identifiable journalists don’t happen in a vacuum. Years of “fake news” and “enemies of the people” talk, misinformation and lies on social media and the very *idea* of verifiable facts under attack. It’s all related.
