Long story short: tell California government officials to investigate the police response to violence by counter-protestors against protestors, and tell big media corporations to cover Donald Trump with more journalism and less sensationalism. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
The National Campaign for Justice helps you tell Los Angeles’s District Attorney and California’s Attorney General to investigate the LAPD’s, er, unbalanced response to violent protestors on May 1, when pro-Israel counter-protestors threw chairs and sticks and set off fireworks and chemical sprays against a pro-Palestine encampment while the police hid for five hours. It sure is incredible how often violence against protestors, whether perpetrated by the state or by counter-protestors, goes unpunished. It’s enough to make you think most law-and-order votaries really don’t care about anything but hurting their enemies. And America ought to do better than that.
The National Campaign for Justice also helps you tell big media corporations to cut with the sensationalism and get with the journalism when covering Donald Trump. Jesus Mary and Joseph does anyone really think he isn’t falling asleep in court on purpose, so he can generate coverage of that and not all the ways he’s planning to destroy democracy if and when he takes office again? Right-wingers always pretend to be stupid or addled, not just so you think they’re harmless, but so the media chase the sensational pretense and not the story about the harm they’re really doing! And again, America ought to do better than that.
