Sorry, we should’ve explained this better. Some may not realize that flash-bangs have been caught on video starting fires. It’s likely unintentional, but it’s creating serious problems on the ground.

Trump instigated this entirely on his own. You don’t overrun a state’s National Guard without a request from that state, that’s a violation of constitutional limits. He manufactured a crisis.

One international journalist has already been injured by police while reporting on the ground. When even foreign press aren’t safe, you know the truth is something they’re trying to suppress.

This morning, Trump thanked the National Guard for handling protests they weren’t even present for. That’s how far they’ll go to sell the lie. Trump wants this fight, not to keep peace, but to justify using the military against Americans. A textbook authoritarian move.

Yesterday, the LAPD released a statement calling the protests peaceful. They had no reason to do that, except that it’s true. Meanwhile, the administration is planting instigators and inflaming tensions to justify its own lawless actions. No one, not even Trump, gets to trample the Constitution.

Here at home, the media is pushing a false narrative of “LA riots” using images of burning cars, fires that were started by police. Why? Because chaos sells. And because they’re afraid of losing access to Trump. But this isn’t journalism. It’s complicity.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.
