I opened a couple of random ones. The first one was this link:

https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1270402748895412224

Which isn't an example of police brutality.

The second one was this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsTkAOe5UTE

Basically a bunch of thugs attack random drivers. One of the thugs jumps into a random car, the car stops, police come, pull the thug out, he resists, they deal with him. I have zero sympathy for the thug.

If you want to create a list for this cause, at least make it good, make it solid. Don't fill it with random junk to inflate the numbers.

I had the same experience. It was a video of a riot line of police with shields walking down the street, and people shooting fireworks at them. I welcome any content that shows events that the media isn't providing. But if someone is going to curate a list like this, don't sell it as something it's not.

You're probably mistaking police flash bangs for fireworks. These devices are completely inappropriate for crowd control, but routinely deployed by US police in the protests.

Ah what is appropriate? Letting them take over entire city blocks as Seattle has done? Allowing mobs to burn down minority neighborhoods in Minneapolis?

I downvoted you because I live in a Seattle, and this question shows a ignorance of the facts: “Letting them take over entire city blocks as Seattle has done?”

A bare assertion followed by a bare refusal isn't much help. If you would instead provide some information, that would be a big help to all those of us who do not live in Seattle.

When other people have been downvoted, they complain that no reason was given.

I am doing the courtesy of telling you why I downvoted you.

If telling you why I downvoted you then also compels me to justify my position in an extended way, then I will not do it in the future. Instead I will just silently downvote when I feel it is warranted.

That's up to you but I'm sure you could put the effort in, someone else has.

Great. Next time I'll just silently downvote and move on.

I could put the effort in, that's true. But I'm not going to be obligated to, and I'm not going to be shamed into doing the work to educate you.

I'm glad someone else did!
