The Spin

Left narrative

The NYPD’s purposefully corralling of peaceful protesters and brutal assault drew a horrifying resemblance to police abuse during the 1965 Selma, Alabama march, and everyone responsible should face the consequences. If the police want to be respected, they should steer clear of such tactics in the future — especially when the protest is specifically about police brutality.

Right narrative

America's police departments were not dealing with benign, peaceful protesters during the summer of 2020 — they were in a war instigated by the left through lies in the media and from politicians as high up as Pres. Biden. Millions of people took to the streets, and the police did what they had to do to restore peace. Some overstepped the bounds of their training, but we shouldn't paint all officers with a broad brush.
