Searched Twitter for #babygate. Got something COMPLETELY different.

It appears that if you're an armed "Proud Boys" member during curfew, the police treat you gently.

Sacramento PD thugs choking a man, fending off onlookers, filmed from two angles.

Is this how to trained LEOs behave, whatever the civilian did, are they trying to help him or defend their bad actions.

You decide.

Sarah Cooper has always been brilliant, here she is in March 2016 on racism in advertising.

It's enjoyable even as it's frightening, she has that ability to make important content comprehensible and even sometimes comical.

Three minutes long, all powerful, but toward the end is the shovel ad, which looks very much like the narrative against victims like George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. "what were they doing?", "let's hear both sides"

Well, we love Sarah Cooper and that's what counts. More like her, please!
