On a related note, a reminder of the timeline of 2020:

Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent immediately after the police murdered George Floyd.

Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent when the video became public.

Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent when the protests started.

Things turned chaotic and violent when they brought charges against Chauvin, and the police flipped out and went on a rage-fueled bender of mass tear-gassing the peaceful protests.

I keep remembering the vigil for Elijah McClain, where a bunch of people were just sitting quietly with candles and playing violins, and the police showed up like OH NO YOU DON'T.
