Also worth saying that Covid-19 and police killings both disproportionately impact African-Americans and by a remarkably similar amount, so there isn’t really the kind of tension between these objectives that you might think.

Atlanta Mayor @KeishaBottoms: “If you were out protesting last night, you probably need to go get a COVID test this week. There is still a pandemic in America that’s killing black and brown people at higher numbers.”

I do fear a new outbreak because of the protests. Too many not wearing masks. Too much close contact.

Let’s all try to cool off everyone. Please. https://t.co/l5dRFuiDd6

Brooklyn's finest police and protestors both, protecting fellow citizens from spread of the dreaded coronavirus. Each and everyone there (including those just casually walking through! watch carefully and you'll see them) have forfeited any right to complain about beachgoers in Florida or people enjoying mother's day brunch in Colorado:

Mayor DeBlasio tweeted this eight minutes before this was posted: “Our police officers have been given a very clear instruction: as always, respect peaceful protest. We in this city have a long history of respecting every kind of viewpoint.”

I am seeing a lot of young people on TV tonight in cities around the country not following your advice, Libre Wolf. Just sayin'.

(Also noted: most cops have face shields and gloves, not to mention thick clothing covering full body.)

Look at the guy in the black

Look at the guy in the black t-shirt walking towards you. And he walks and he walks and never gets any closer. Because in reality he's 50 yards out rather than 5 - all lens tricks. Would be great if they wore masks, but if they're somewhat separated (which we can't rightfully tell) in outdoors space it's not such a big deal. Thousands of people jammed together at customs inside the terminal was a much much bigger deal, as was infected people confined in nursing or VA homes breathing all over each other. 2 hairdressers infected like 150 customers in Missouri(?) - a lot bigger problems than people dispersed out at the beach.

I don't know much about photographic monkey business, but this looks like a crowd at any distance. And no, I'm not seeing masks either.

Oh yeah, yet no (1?) masks

Oh yeah, yet no (1?) masks noted, these people think "we have prevailed" , Trump's bs.

Do note the camera effect

Do note the camera effect makes everyone look closer than they are. As someone noted, guy with baby keeps walking and walking, but never reaches anyone. Long-depth zoom. Fake news., At least a bit.

Social distancing, Ocean City

Social distancing, Ocean City Maryland style.

A look at the Ocean City, Maryland boardwalk this afternoon. The sunny weather brought out the people. Masks are encouraged but not required. @wjz #memorialdayweekend2020 pic.twitter.com/rK3gCfoZNB
