I love it, and the phrase 'under the influence of live news'!
I was not only helping with SIGINT, but also at ground zero many nights in full gear. In Portland, the BLM protests continued for over 100 days, longer than anywhere else in the US.
Maybe one day I will speak more about my experiences there.
With nightly police brutality, random acts of vandalism and violence, tear gas, snipers, 'less-lethal, and lethal ammunition,' opposition protesters, things got intense.
One person I knew personally and sometimes used to speak with (and often respectfully disagree with) at a local pub I did business with, who was not a BLM protest supporter, but also not a racist, was killed by a lone idiot (not from either side) one night in the streets downtown.
Even though he was not a BLM protestor and was in the streets protesting from the opposition, the BLM medics were the first to attend to him and give him emergency care, and I think that's both tragic and beautiful. It was a powerful moment in history.
