ACAB, media coverage 

Love it when people bring shields to a protest and the media says "See? They're planning to start trouble, or why would they need those" and not "They're expecting to take rubber bullet fire from the police"

Because even though the latter is clearly factual and neutral reporting, it leaves open the possibility that it's the cops starting it, and we can't have that.
