I think it's more like, "Would you list some of what you think are illegal orders being issued?"
I assume they know about STFU Friday.

icymi, Elias Rodriguez (the guy who murdered 2 people outside a Jewish museum) made exactly one post here, bragging about sending screenshots to Stancil of people telling him to kill himself & that he agreed.

I think it's a question of how much car usage can be reduced. I'd like more mixed mode choices where a suburban couple going to a concert can park at the end of a rail line & get downtown.
If your stated goal is preventing all car usage, good luck!

Huh. It's not clear what happened, but it started with a human hit & run driver. I'm not at all sure a human driver would've done better than the robot here.

Long lines of taxis isn't a new phenomenon. People driving their own cars will be lined up outside the nearby parking lots. Cars take space & in a dense zone, it's going to cause backed up traffic.
Ideally, more people would use public transit, especially when it's as close as it is in that video.

Even driverless cars will never be as cheap as public transit, but a ton of people will continue to demand them because of convenience.

Coincidentally, the 60s is when TV news networks started having the ability to send camera crews to cover events like the Selma to Montgomery marches. Video is often more effective than still photography, something we're still seeing today.

Where did I say they were "the vanguard of the movement"? They didn't have to send people from newsrooms in the north to cover the Civil Rights marches. Someone decided it was important enough to get in person reporting instead of relying on local news. Evelyn mischaracterized that reporting.

I think you confuse coverage of the Civil Rights marches & activism of the early 1960s with the coverage of urban riots after MLK's assassination, which were blamed in part on "Black Power" groups alleged to have communist ideas.

I'm trying to track down what year that's from. Calling LBJ's relationship with MLK "complicated" is an understatement, but whatever he said privately, LBJ understood he needed MLK's support in public.

I'm not disputing J. Edgar Hoover ran a years long smear campaign against MLK.
I'm only addressing what the anchors on the Big 3 networks said at the time & this ain't it.

TV reporters were not seen as allies by the men swinging clubs at civil rights protesters. They were often attacked themselves because the footage they captured was so damning.

Your fabricated quote & depiction of national media coverage as "anti-civil rights" is ahistorical. You conflate reporting of something a local sheriff might have said with what the reporters & anchors were saying. The coverage of Bloody Sunday was pivotal.

You should take time to check on the actual history. National media coverage was a major factor in making people outside the south aware of the violence deployed against Civil Rights activists. If they made a mistake, it was elevating King as the sole spokesman.
