Sure I knew way before mainstream media because I followed it. They were rioting during all the blacklivesmatter stuff too.
Could watch it all on Periscope or Facebook Live.
But Facebook just cut Facebook Live. You can't see all regular people on the ground stuff anymore. That was just done recently.
Ruptly followed a lot of protests and still do.
I've watched all the protests/riots from around the world.
Have things changed? Not much….
