NYPD says officers were intervening to break up fight btw group of girls (ages 12 & 14). This is what “intervening” looks like: pummeling 14 year old girl to teach her that fighting is wrong? What about deescalation? & interventions that don’t involve police?

Some news organizations and commentators have called the 18-year-old Buffalo white supremacist a 'teenager' and 'child' — rather than a 'man.'

Many were quick to call that out as a racist double standard.
