There is no internet (let alone social media or body cams) during that era, since Jim Crow in America was still being enforced towards black people at that time, but the civil rights movement is gaining traction (since Martin Luther King was alive). I mean, cop violence has been around for a long time before body cams were invented. How did people hear first hand encounters from those victimized back then without reliance on social media?

Believe it or not, people talk to one another in their communities.
This. Word-of-mouth travels fast, especially in tight communities.
The internet didn’t invent human communication lmao.
We used to have a thing called journalism. While far from perfect it was a lot better than the sad caricature we have today.
Are people starting to forget how society worked before social media?
People would congregate and talk. They would go to church or participate in various clubs and social events where they would meet their peers and talk about happenings in their communities. Besides that there were a variety of publications where news would be posted in and spread such as local newspapers, magazines and periodicals.
Talk to people, like in person?
Almost like chatting. With text to speech, except without typing anything out. And no keyboards, and no screens, and no computers. And being in the same room, like IRL.
What’s transcribing the speech to text?
You had to do that yourself. In your head.
Just make a black friend and I’m sure they’d tell you all about it.
Actually, this amazing trick still works to this day!
the same way it’ll be allowed to happen once we finish self imposing the AI based panopticon around ourselves – word of mouth.
Why do you keep making new accounts to ask the same questions over and over bro?
Bot training? Ask the same stupid question and feed the different answers into the lie machine.
I dunno. I just assume anything stupid is nefarious now :/
