Photography of After Los Angeles Protests and Reflection By Sarah Brotman

Today I walked around Fairfax to document these apocalyptic times. This is what i saw. Peace. Unity. I saw people working together to repair the damage that’s been done. Something I want to point out is that destruction of buildings/businesses can be repaired. RACISM CANNOT.  IF YOU CARE MORE ABOUT THE DAMAGE THAN THE INNOCENT HUMANS BEING ABUSED AND MURDERED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. The riots are created by the police. The police are enforcing brutality FIRST. The protests are organized peacefully, but then the police escalate the situation. If you are protesting, you are automatically putting yourself at risk. Americans have been putting their lives at risk since the beginning. What do you think minority communities are going to do when thats what they have been taught their whole life? So be careful. Also if you think speaking out on social media doesn’t do anything you are wrong. Use your words.
