NEW YORK (AP) ā The nationās unrest has made for an unprecedented nightly action show on television, with control rooms that switch quickly between cars ablaze, police officers advancing on demonstrators and ransacked stores in cities across the country.
Whatās easy to get lost are peaceful protesters concerned about police treatment of minorities ā the raw wound reopened by George Floydās death.
Floydās brother, Terrence, publicly asked Monday for those people outraged by how George died last week after a Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee to his brotherās neck to
make their feelings known peacefully.

Thatās daytime television, however.
When darkness falls and prime-time television begins, earnest activism is replaced by tense scenes of conflict unique in their breadth. Scenes of urban unrest have been visible before in the nationās history ā the 1968 riots were more frightening and deadly ā but not in so many cities at the same time, with so many cameras to observe.
Civil rights activist Al Sharpton said Monday that heās worried about a backlash caused by the attention paid to violent demonstrations.
āIf you only display that, in this whole āif it bleeds, it leadsā media obsession, than in many ways you are hurting George Floyd all over again,ā said Sharpton, an MSNBC host. āBecause he becomes a side story to the tragedy of what happened and to the pursuit of justice.ā
Whatās happening in the cities need to be covered, but not at the expense of losing Floyd, he said.
