For a second straight night, Detroit police chose restraint over confrontation, letting protesters defy the 8 p.m. curfew. And no surprise, the rally ended peacefully.

When I was assaulted by @detroitpolice, they smashed my glasses. On the ground were numerous cell phones and glasses and backpacks. Police told me they throw that stuff away. Protest and serve, huh? Thanks, @MayorMikeDuggan. Maybe you ought to hold your police accountable. – at Detroit, MI

When police don’t violently attack protesters, shockingly enough, no violence erupts. #BlackLivesMatter #DetroitProtest #EndPoliceBrutality
“No justice, no peace...” Protesters are marching through downtown Detroit all evening as the police have stood down from enforcing the curfew #Detroit #DetroitProtest #NoJusticeNoPeace

Just got attacked, punched, kneed and elbowed by police, who threw my phone and broke my glasses. More worried about the protesters. Mass arrests. Out of control in Detroit. That was police brutality.

After talking to several friends, I realize many ppl still aren't prepared for the societal impacts of coronavirus. Want to dedicate a thread about what I observed in Chinese society, and what you should be mentally prepared for. It goes beyond the disease itself:
