The article talks about the strangeness of protesting in a city that lives in the national spotlight one moment, then vanishes into darkness the next. Reality as perceived by the outside world How the spotlight can blind us to violence that occurs outside its narrow focus

I also talk about the good that responsible journalists can do at protests There's no denying that cameras carry risk. But cameras also help establish truth. They can stand witness to the crimes and violence police routinely deny and push back against their constant gaslighting
