I like the subplot of the news outlets leveling up their use of passive voice by accusing a pick-up truck of instigating the violence.

This would be hilarious (if it weren’t so awful), but this is a trick of the eye and coincidental timing. If you see the video in full frame and the aerial view from the drone footage, the cop in the center clearly throws it into the crowd. He wasn’t startled, he’s just racist.

A corollary to gaslighting: teargassing - attacking someone and then blaming them for the attack.
