@pbsnews: In Albania, violent clashes erupted in the capital of Tirana on Thursday as anti-government protests stretched into a third day. At one point, protesters attacked a bank and riot police retaliated with water cannons and tear gas. The nation's Health Ministry says more than 80 people were injured, most of them police officers. The student-led demonstration was sparked by anger over a major development project backed by President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. They're also demanding better school conditions and for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign. He has refused to do so. #albania #protests #tirana #riotpolice #donaldtrump #trump #jaredkushner #edirama #pbsnews #news #pbs #pbsnewshour
Notice the implicit bias in all media coverage of global protests. Before they mention the demands of the people they show you the "violence" of a smashed bank window. You are expected to sympathize with the poor injured police officers, who willingly place themselves in opposition to the masses, and not the people who have been driven to protest the structural inequality that is a prerequisite to capitalism.
