Some commenters mentioned that it's obvious that, unlike medical staff, American police forces don't have to worry about a shortage of protective gear.

Lots of videos of police deliberately targeting press (CBS, etc) with rubber bullets and tear gas.
Three lovely Prada points for HoI2 help

Portland was under curfew last night from 8pm - 6am. Lots of video footage of the "rioters" coming out. They're primarily anarchists and Proud Boys, with the obvious opportunists in the mix.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I was also really impressed by the leadership on display in Atlanta, from mayor and police chief and rappers.

Also, there's always a tweet:

QuoteSTEPHANOPOULOS: Your own government is warning that domestic terrorists from the far-right are involved in these riots as well. It's not just antifa.

NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER O'BRIEN: "Listen, everything I've seen & the reports we're receiving is that this is antifa."

O'Brien on CNN: "No, I don't think there's systemic racism... 99.9% of our law enforcement officers are great Americans."

Some of the footage is absolutely insane:

Honestly it reminds me most of the way security/bouncers behave in a club. Just heavily armed.

Welcome to modern policing. Citizens are an enemy force to suppress.

German camera team also had a run in with the police when they were trying to film what was happening to *another* media team:

Slate has, at long last, the correct headline:

« Police erupts in violence nationwide ».

Also, culminating with the right's foaming at the mouth about antifa and conspiracy theories, Trump has tweeted that they would designate Antifa a terrorist organization...
