“Y'all notice a sharp decline in protest videos and content in the last couple of weeks?”

“I don’t think people understand.

This is NYC right now. Day 30. In a row.

The #BlackLivesMatter movement is just getting started.”

The dwindling amount of videos and media coverage of protests is honestly worrying to me. In my opinion, protesters, especially Black protesters, are more at risk because of this. Cops tend to act up and hurt people less if they know they’re being filmed and especially if they know that a lot of people are filiming. But I worry that as soon as they feel no one is looking/not enough people are looking, they’ll start shooting us, and this time, it won’t be with “”“rubber”“” bullets and tear gas.

Document everything, y'all. Don’t let them think we aren’t watching. Don’t let them feel safe enough to kill us.
