trump sending in fed troops, unmarked & military-styled, has reinvigorated protests that were naturally diminishing. it's also brought out white, often wealthier women who've either neither really thought much about racial inequality before George Floyd or hadn't been brave or motivated enough to go out and protest... unmarked troops snatching protesting civilians off the streets like countries known for civil-rights violations has been their tipping-point.
