As usual, Pepe Escobar has an interesting take, but I don't think he is finely attuned to the American situation. This is quite different from the Vietnam antiwar protests and Occupy, for example. Moreover, this is not only an American phenomenon. There are mass demonstrations in other countries, too. If I had to sum it up succinctly, it would be, "enough is enough." And I don't think this is solely about racism, either. It's a visceral reaction that carries many labels, but none of them capture the essence of it.

Some of it is televised, they've shown some vids of police brutality on tv... But you can easily find dozens of videos of out of control police on youtube and twitter. The whole "it's a few bad apples" has been definitively proven false.
