Lemmy, what conservative fearmongering do you find laughably incorrect?

The recent protesting in Los Angeles. It was actually small, organized, and nonviolent.
It was a little bigger than the protests that happen nearly every year but the conservative media portrayed it as the entire city being in full riot mode.
It was night and day what they showed on the news vs social media. Conservative news might as well had shown half of LA on fire with mothers clutching their babies because of scary rioters. Liberal news showed nothing. Social Media showed a lot of very angry citizens peacefully protesting in LA who wanted their families and friends returned from being disappeared.
LA definitely got the Portland treatment. Interesting when they claim violence when the only violence to be seen stems from the fucking police and ICE.
Same as every protest. People peacefully organize in a park or something. Police get all weak in the knees and put on riot gear and bring out tanks, and start pushing people around. Finally a single protester throws a rock back and the media swarms in calling it a "warzone". Closeups of the rock, slowmo of it going overhead, interviews with sergeants. Policeman crying. Every. Damn. Time.
It’s not even that. It’s more like when all the cops are stationed at a protest, some people become aware that they can commit crime without repercussion. Including torching a car or breaking into stores.
If you don’t want that, keep your cops dispersed and friendly
LA would have been fine with small teams of cops wearing hardhats and less oppressive gear roaming around keeping the protesters safe.
Heck, put together protest teams consisting of 2 cops, 1 lafd/emt, and 1 sanitation worker, just walking around providing community service. They’d be cheered as heroes.
I think they must have a fundamental misunderstanding about how big Los Angeles is. Like, truly, it is monstrous. And even when the city ends, it keeps going.
It's the second largest city in the country but unlike other major cities it lacks density.
I've been seeing the same thing with New York on yt. Single channel posting straight up "Immigrants Looting New York", "New York Destroyed By Gangs" type of bullshit using what looks exactly like AI imagery for the thumbnails.
Hell, I don't even need to see the video title or channel responsible to know it has to be bullshit if they're willing to use AI generated images in the thumbnail.
they do this damn near any time there are protests anywhere. portland has supposedly burned to the ground 5, maybe 6 times last i checked.
If the san Francisco earthquake fires had been videotaped clips of it would appear on fox every week
