maneth985:ori-ebon:blackspiritshake:thatpettyblackgirl:It’s actually insane the way the cops switched up when the white protesters stood between them and the man.^^It also changes the tone in how a protest is depicted in the media. A peaceful BLM march is called a “riot” but a protest where white kids break windows and throw things back at the police is called a “political rally”.Seeing that stark and immediate changeup - it was like the white people were the “off switch” for the wrath of the police. It’s on-camera proof of what we’ve been saying literally forever, but still, seeing it like this just makes me feel so tired.I’m glad the white people acted as shields but the stark difference in how the police acted is… Unsurprising and yet doesn’t stop being fucked up -- source link
