Shit is really bananas! This is one of the rare cases where it's difficult for the mainstream media to accurately cover the story because it's just. So. Fucking. Weird.
It isn't difficult, rather it's deliberate sandbagging to carry water for those with power. Like how they continue to sanewash the autocratic authoritarians who took over the Republican party, or how they dodged covering that whole sex trafficking kompromat island thing the best they could.

I wouldn't say that the brooks brothers riot was autocratic. Though it was certainly part of a long gradual process of destroying societal norms to "win", leaving nowhere to go but where they now are.
