No conspiracy, just mobs being terrible and resharing the most salacious clips without regard for the truth, which is what mobs do, like the mob that lynched the truck driver who got trapped on an Interstate that was overrun by protestors. He was rescued by sane people among the mob, but not before he was beaten to a pulp and robbed of all his personal effects.

This is the most disingenuous take I've seen on here yet. Why don't you post the video of the incident instead [1]? This is someone that nearly ran over a large crowd of people, no shit the crowd is going to be angry after seeing what looked like someone trying to murder them. It seems you're the one trying to twist the truth here.

You realize police have cams on their uniforms and could submit video tape that refutes every claim, why haven't they? Probably because if they released all the feeds the video would be WAY more damning.
