Also, twitch streamers can help raise funds for their local communities protests or your affinity group when subscribers donate. You can support your local activist chapters and fund encampments and medic groups by raising funds as a twitch streamer. Being an ethical live streamer has a huge role!
Think of live streaming as your legal right to spy and collect intelligence on police in public spaces. As long as you are in public space you cant be arrested for documentation. The whole point of being on a Remote Uprising Support Team is to be a functional intelligence system for demonstrators. Being journalists gives us certain rights to limited ability of espionage on police and militias in public. While filming a militia may be dangerous, filming police is absolutely our legal right and can help legally protect those on the ground.
After gathering more evidence I decided to change my statement. I still say I am against the shooting of civilians. However what is not clear is whether this was self defense. Another video showed more clearly the mace being sprayed followed by shots both very rapidly and it's not clear whether the gun was pulled first or the mace was. If this was in self defense I view this to be more ethical. Macing someone shouldnt result in an execution and we should view every shooting critically and with sensitivity. People shouldn't have to die. But the reality is last night very well might not be the last of these. And just like there are Columbine copycats, I still fear that individuals will try to copy the acts of Kyle Rittenhouse. Part of being an ethical journalist is saying you were wrong about some information and you do your best to correct it. Regardless folks should not be deputized to kill as it only will escalate the situations further for us and put folk who arent trying to fight a battle into harms way. The last thing we should be doing is inspiring a warmongering right wing. We are striking against them. A strike should not escalate to a battle. But things only stay peaceful if our enemies have empathy and a conscious. Right now it doesn't appear that way. We should all take time to continue and reflect on this as more information still waits to come out.

Remember it was not elected officials who protected 500,000 households for 4 months. It was a separate government agency. Theres still no protection in the new year outside of Philadelphia.
