    The Spin

    Left narrative

    Too often law enforcement believes it can get away with violence against citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. This verdict sends a message that violence against protesters is not condoned. Agencies and departments across the US should consider reforms in policing to prevent further incidents.

    Right narrative

    The demonstrations following George Floyd's death saw unprecedented levels of sustained violence and destruction. Although some mistakes were made by police (which have since been addressed with additional training) they couldn't have been prepared for what transpired or the level of anger channeled towards authorities.
