Thread: (hopefully final) thoughts regarding the protest

Just like most of us, as I& #39;m not there, I actually know very little about the thing

There are several versions of the story circulating on Twitter, probably the truth is a mixture of those, with some unknown elements
I *want* some of them to be true (e.g. "all the violent incidents were actually caused by the Police/ infiltrated people"), but that doesn& #39;t mean they necessarily are, I have no way to actually know for sure
That being said, I completely agree with the reasons behind this protest, and I hope it can ultimately be carried out in a non-violent way

Some things I saw on Twitter, like Trump& #39;s tweets, the Police using tear gas, firing at and arresting reporters, are awful and need to stop
One one hand, I wanna be informed about them and call them out. I want to know and I want everyone to know, but it& #39;s so hard to just follow what& #39;s going on, because we& #39;re not just talking about opinions, it& #39;s the facts that are being disputed as well
If you read Fox News (which I wouldn& #39;t ever recommend), you& #39;re living on a completely different planet compared to my Twitter feed, and of course that results in radically opposed takes

I don& #39;t wanna believe and spread misinformation or bold unproven claims
I don& #39;t wanna be the one who is inciting violence or riots, but I still wanna be supportive for the cause that they& #39;re protesting for

It& #39;s complicated
The world is complicated
I just wanted to express my confused thoughts in this thread no one will ever read
