She spouted a bunch of statistics about violence against police, violence against blacks by police and the like etc. Are they true or twisted/made up to fit a narrative? I honestly don't know.

Well, for one, she says that more whites are killed by police than blacks (which is true) and acknowledges that there are many more white people in America but that the ratio doesn't matter. Then she goes on to say that blacks commit more crime per capita than whites, so all of a sudden the ratio does matter.
She reviews George Floyd's criminal record in detail and the reports that he was on drugs during his arrest. She ignores that a black man in America is much more likely to go to jail for most crimes (especially drug offenses) than a white person.
I mean, she's just not an honest actor looking at all viewpoints. She's a provocateur that makes her living as the token black woman that racists can hold up and say "see, even a well spoken, young, educated black woman agrees with me".
