So about these riots...

[tyrannosaurus vex]

so real question... are the protests more or less bottled up and suppressed, or is there just general agreement in the media not to cover them anymore?

I'll be going to one with about 3k people on Sunday. I think the amount of people in them has dropped off over the last couple days, but I think it's going to ramp up again. I think a lot of the protesters protested many days in a row, and are taking a bit of a break, and then a large portion are worried about the curfews. Destruction of safety supplies and resources by the police probably doesn't help the turnout either.

So a little of the first one, but not sure about the second one. At least, that's the case in my area.

We might be in a lull, perhaps. Barr's little army is still occupying DC, if nothing else, and I'll be surprised if something doesn't kick off because of it.

Oh, and Trump is making the best fence around the White House even better: https://twitter.com/FitzFox5DC/status/1268590548467748864?s=19

There have been small local protests every night in the Boston area.  Some are peaceful, and some have been attacked by the cops.

George Floyd's murderers have been appropriately charged, so that may take the wind out of some people's sails

Second-degree murder does seem appropriate, based on quick read.

That's my take as well, the accomplices also being charged is also important.

[Cain]

True. That said, I think the protests are much larger than George Floyd now. The disproportionate response from the police - along with calls for mass killings from the Senate and Trump himself putting his face on opposition to the protests - has likely given it a momentum all of it's own by this point in time.

This is the band-aid (hopefully) coming off a centuries' old wound, I think, so yep.

Agreed. We're getting some other concessions - there's some of Minneapolis's city council discussing disbanding their PD and LA's mayor is moving $150m to assist Black communities.

Anddd, just like that, confirmed reports of Anti-Freeze poisoning from donated medic waters in Columbus, OH. No one was killed, but now they can only take money donations, and have to order and stock the water themselves.

Imagine the president having to bunker in.
