Rochester showed out by the thousands to protest Daniel Prude’s murder. https://twitter.com/joshuapotash/status/1302066103426969600
Police started responding with violence. https://twitter.com/joshuapotash/status/1302076713950744577
It’s now an “illegal assembly.” https://twitter.com/terrence_str/status/1302080850050285568
Ugh https://twitter.com/ginofanelli/status/1302078000964526080
This is wrong. https://twitter.com/zdroberts/status/1302080406326521858
Not surprisingly the right wing verified accounts are pushing myths of mass violence on the part of protestors. In reality, the police are the violent ones. This is organized.

This account started the chain of tweets. Accounts are now calling for protestors’ deaths for damaging tables and “shutting down restaurants.”

And guess what images AREN’T shown since Twitter is flooded with images of the restaurant disruption? Police tear gassing and brutalizing the protestors.
If you search #rochesterprotests you see endless tweets about the restaurant disruption, but not this: https://twitter.com/zdroberts/status/1302086054724472838
Wow. This looks like a war zone, and not because of the protestors. https://twitter.com/rynnreed/status/1302084126514843648
I’ll never forget when I first moved to Rochester. A small BLM protest broke out next to the Strong Museum. SWAT lined up and crushed it. I was shocked. https://twitter.com/lauramiers/status/751541132912386048
This was last night. https://twitter.com/zdroberts/status/1301824762767978496
More verified accounts spreading unverified information. This is inflammatory & divisive. Ian Miles Cheong lives in Malaysia. He is not actually in Rochester. None of them are.

These tweets are all crafted for the purpose of inciting violence. They are trying to start a race war.

Protestors were teargassed. https://twitter.com/zdroberts/status/1302098465946775552
Rochester last night, presumably before police attacked. https://twitter.com/ginofanelli/status/1302069541233733632
In the above thread, I showed how these verified accounts spread propaganda and lies about the Rochester protests. Actual footage of police attacking protestors was impossible to find among all the propaganda. That’s the point. https://twitter.com/mattbinder/status/1302237751761416196
