Let's study the people who are perpetuating inequality? And not just the victims of it?? Research has already suggested women should not make jokes, assert themselves, interrupt others to avoid workplace biasโ€ฆbut I'm pretty sure women are not the problem here???

[everyone else] is it the unarmed people protesting a police killing who are escalating the violence? or police forces with military-grade weaponry and almost no training in deescalation?? it's just so complex! why can't people be peaceful when faced with yet another death???

"Here are some of the ways law enforcement officers escalated the national unrest." Thank you, @slate & @MatthewDessem for the correct framing of this & pointing out it's the armed men with weapons escalating violence, not the unarmed people with placards.
