    Not that it helps the victims but maybe we need a bunch of falsely abused and detained reporters able to afford significant lawsuits.

    I like to think I’d stand up and do it, but I’m white and in a state where we don’t often have such conflict.

    I mean we do, you can’t avoid it with the current administration. However it’s just not as often. Actually a couple of weeks ago one of my city councillors was roughly detained for videoing a gang of masked thugs depriving people of their rights. However while I don’t think it’s as simple as racism, he is Hispanic and that clearly makes a difference
