This is awful. But notice how it is framed. This is an "armed civilian militia group". Not terrorists. Not thugs. Not violent vigilantes. Even as they are killing people white men are given respect.https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/06/16/albuquerque-militia-shooting-protest/ …

Replying to @polotek @steveklabnik
So many of our local news sites are portraying it like the dude was defending himself against a mob. There's a video showing the whole thing. He showed up with a gun and tried to pick a fight. Our police have been referring to this group as "armed friendlies" on radio

There were no uniformed officers at the protest, but 5 of these terrorists? I don't want more police presence, but that says a lot about what's going on with APD this week

On the bright side or mayor and one of our city councilors are proposing drastic changes to APD, but neither are doing nearly enough :\
