>Intelligence and surveillance powers that once belonged only to
militaries and state spooks are now available to anyone with a
high-speed internet connection.

[...]

>Of course, it's violence in the streets that captures most of the
attention, especially after a car plowed into a crowd amid the neo-Nazi
spectacle in Charlottesville, killing counter-protester Heather Heyer
and injuring many more. 


It's very useful that so many videos are available today.

Partial quote:

"On August 12, a driver drove his vehicle into a crowd of “anti-racist” protesters, killing one woman and injuring 19 other individuals. The suspect has been identified as James Alex Fields, Jr.

"Department of Memes reported that police officers in Charlottesville believed the driver was not acting maliciously, suggesting he was scared by the protesters on every side of his vehicle and he did not know what to do.

"New shocking video has emerged that corroborates this theory.

"Citizen researchers have slowed the video down and spotted an African American individual hitting the car with what appears to be a baseball bat before the suspect hit the crowd with his vehicle.

"One such video posted to Streamable shows the driver slowing down, then accelerating quickly after his rear bumper is struck with the baseball bat.


"The second video, originally posted to 4chan’s /pol/, is a thorough examination of the events that seems to suggest the driver was behaving normally until his vehicle was struck with the bat.
