New study finds ”places with Black Lives Matter protests experience a 15% to 20% decrease in police homicides over the ensuing five years.” Further, the effect ”is most prominent when protests are large or frequent.” papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Morris, Kodira, Jordan & others who have protested alone represent a small fraction of the racial justice events that have happened since the murder of George Floyd.
Just 23 of more than 8,000 demonstrations have been solo protests, per @CountLoveOrg data trib.al/oDbCuYm

Protesting alone has a power of its own, in its intimacy, its risk, and in the way it can invite both confrontation and support. @HallieGolden4 talked to several people who went solo during BLM summer. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The issue is no longer an app (which lives on at hkmap.live) but Mr. Cook feeding into and amplifying Chinese state propaganda on Hong Kong, including the fictions that the protesters ambush police or target individuals for violence. These are dangerous lies.
