As demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids continue in Los Angeles, misleading videos, conspiracies and false claims have spread on social media.
Many of the posts recycle longstanding conspiracy theories, which have often been revived during past episodes of civil unrest. Some posts have made claims that wealthy individuals engineered or financed the protests, and they have racked up millions of views online.

So to sum up: there were NO pre-"stacked bricks," there were no vehicles burned excepting the autonomous drive cars; there were NO "national guard jets;"...there were no US Marines arriving in the City when posts said they were; and this is NOT 1992.
But there were actually NG Soldiers sleeping on the floor in the basement of one of the federal buildings under guard (verified by US Northern Command.)
It's exhausting - sorting out truth from propaganda!!

The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
