Rochester showed out by the thousands to protest Daniel Prude’s murder. https://twitter.com/joshuapotash/status/1302066103426969600">https://twitter.com/joshuapot...
Police started responding with violence. https://twitter.com/joshuapotash/status/1302076713950744577">https://twitter.com/joshuapot...
It’s now an “illegal assembly.” https://twitter.com/terrence_str/status/1302080850050285568">https://twitter.com/terrence_...

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">https://twitter.com/zdroberts...
Wow. This looks like a war zone, and not because of the protestors. https://twitter.com/rynnreed/status/1302084126514843648">https://twitter.com/rynnreed/...
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">https://twitter.com/lauramier...
This was last night. https://twitter.com/zdroberts/status/1301824762767978496">https://twitter.com/zdroberts...
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.

Rochester last night, presumably before police attacked. https://twitter.com/ginofanelli/status/1302069541233733632">https://twitter.com/ginofanel...
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">https://twitter.com/mattbinde...
