10. Of course this is what gets the biggest national media

attention in the aftermath of the murder of Ms. Good. I have seen countless videos of ICE-American Gestapo running up to protestors simply standing on sidewalks and blasting them in the face with tear gas. I have seen countless videos of scenes from Portland of goons running up behind protestors simply standing on a sidewalk and knocking them to the ground. But of course I don't see that on CBS News for example or demands for accountability and for the government to stop these actions.

But they grab this because it fits a narrative they want going forward. They want to portray what is coming as "our fault".
