Yeah, the news coverage of this incident is pretty scary stuff.

The news footage is pretty docile compared to what some of the amateur on-the-ground journalists are producing. I've been watching Tim Pool's coverage every night and it feels like something straight out of a dystopian shaky cam film. Except the fact that it is real.

He should be streaming soon. https://twitter.com/timcast

I recommend checking out Tim Pool when he starts his stream up. He really shows what it's like to be down there right now; in the past couple nights alone he's had to escape fields of tear gas, run to his vehicle to escape sudden surges of violence, dodge bullets and Molotov cocktails, and just deal with general chaos.

My opinion on the actual shooting is worthless because it's affected by my personal bias. However, the other side of the story here is how quickly and effectively a community is able to be turned into a police state. This could happen anywhere, for any reason. Over the past few nights I've seen a child have her leg broken by a rubber bullet, a cop point their gun at a journalist and tell them to "get the fuck away," and all kinds of other scary shit. I only wish that people would look past the actual shooting (not enough information yet, if you think anyone was innocent it's due to bias), racism, and other obvious issues being brought up, and examine the situation in its entirety.
