As an outsider watching from across the Atlantic, I am astonished at what is being posted in these comments. There are hundreds of videos on social media of wanton police violence towards peaceful protestors. Of course there are non-peaceful protestors (and I do not defend them) but they are responded to in incidents of heavy handed violent escalation. Bellingcat have collected more than 100 reports of protected media representatives being beaten, blinded and brutalized by police action. This is all happening during unrest caused by police brutality.

And Hacker News wants to fix the protestors?!

In America there is a culture of rushing to find center ground between two points regardless of what the points are. So now they rush to make false equivalence between large groups of many kinds of people protesting in public and a professional militarized force with government funding.
