It is so weird watching this topic unfold with news stories in slow motion.

Interesting things I saw throughout this.

1. Tons of looting being done. Looters using protesters as shields basically just a block from cops to loot. This has been seen pretty prevalently on Washington DC and New York live streams that aren't at the main events.

2. A very large number of protestors have tried to stop looting and rioting. Saying this is not out message. This is commendable. Unfortunately, while it has worked in some places, it hasn't been successful in many.

3. The African-American man was shot in Omaha and the bar owner released without charges.

4. I have seen a few films of beating people with weapons and such. Most clips of these justify it with saying they were called slurs (this is relevant to 3 also). However, I cannot hear slurs on any of them. The DA said there was none on the shooting in 3 and the witnesses from protestors and his side all agreed there was none. Thus, it is questionable if this is being used as a justification for crime after the fact.

5. There have been multiple doctored videos up showing that police are doing the damage to property and blaming it on protestors. All of these so far have been doctored or misunderstood. The main one was a video of police smashing out their windshield in Boston. Video was cut off to show protestors smashing the windshield. Cops were trying to knock it out completely to make to driveable.

6. Many of the instigators and people trying to instigate have been white. The livestreamer in one scenario asked the African-Americans to flip a truck. The protestors chased him off after asking if he was seriously. We have videos of people handing out bricks to African-American protestors and reports of firebombs trying to be handed out. These are generally seem to come from white people.

7. We have the molotov cocktails on police and a police station. Largely unreported.

8. We have the burning of the courthouse in Memphis which seems to have been done by a likely white supremacist taking advantage of the situation.

9. We have a ton of people getting weird with filming because they don't want their faces on film when they are looting.

10. Many livestreamers are doing what they are doing to get clicks and subscribers and not for any other reason. The Zack and Matt stream in DC, the streamer called an African-American woman a bitch when she asked him to stop filming us. He was seconds from being beat on the streets before a protestor stopped the mob. Then the streamer decided to go home and immediately thought African-Americans walking behind him meant he was being followed. He questioned the movement and it's wanting of allies after the situation.

11. The Atlanta streamer was putting out chants of support. Then when it came to being out after curfew and those around her getting arrested said she had nothing to do with the protests and was filming for historical documentation. She was surprised when arrested for breaking curfew.

12. The al.com and other media that got mugged and robbed on the streets in the center of protests for no reason. Another unsuccessful attempt by some protestors to stop the violence.

13. People said on Saturday night that police instigated the violence in DC. This is uncategorically false as the church across the street was already burning as well as another property before their push.

14. In Portland, the African-American organizer stated that the Coronavirus was a hoax and just another means to try and control them as he led the crowd at the courthouse.

15. The police have had many incidences of losing cool and lashing out in rage. This is likely someone who shouldn't be working in law enforcement and is the kind of person that crimes in the job come from.

16. A police officer and another detained a white protestor. The police officer had his knee on the protestors neck the same as the way against Floyd. Two people in the crowd pleaded to remove the knee. The cop ignored them. Eventually after about 30 seconds of pleading by the crowd, the other cop assisting forcibly lifted the cops knee and moved it to his back off his neck.

17. We have cops and military police who have kneeled in support and been harassed by surrounding cops. Other areas where this was acceptable but they still did their job as told to.

18. We had a white cop push an African-American woman behind him kneeling on the ground to the ground. An African-American cop verbally berated him for his action.

19. We had 5 cops detain an African-American protestor. He played nice until they dropped their guard and then ran away. 5 cops let someone under arrest get away.

20. We can see someone organized is dropping off water crates and milk crates to combat tear gas in protests. In New York, we have examples of cops zeroing in on these shipments and destroying them.

21. We have a video of cops detaining an African-American man supposedly who is FBI during the protests. The supposed FBI man berates cops as dumbasses the whole time. Video is real but fakely doctored. From 2018 and was a mistaken identity case. Man arrested was not in the FBI.

22. We have multiple cases of gas filled bottles being found across neighborhoods around bushes and houses.

23. The man who drove a truck into the crowd was deemed to likely be accidental. The truck clearly purposely drives into the crowd. However he stops when the crowd doesn't fully disperse. The man was beaten severely by video, and it looked like there was intent at some point to throw him off the freeway. Protestors stopped the violence there and he was arrested. There are text messages that many are saying he did it deliberately. However, the text messages clearly show him joking about not getting out of the delivery area alive due to the protests. Not intent to drive through any.

24. In Philadelphia people literally parked their cars in streets to run in to loot stores. A man documented a shoe store getting robbed. One lady laughed about it when he asked her a question about it. She then later returns 2 minutes later to loot more. This is during broad daylight.

25. A man in Alabama wanted to burn down a power station. The media crew was able to talk him out of it before he went through with it.
