I'm saying it's bad agitprop. It's bad agitprop because there are a lot of important facts beyond "a 13 year old was in jail." If you present a story as a horrible injustice but someone clicks through and reads "she told police she was an adult, waffled on that so it was guaranteed she was lying about her ID one way or the other, and never gave any real info that could be verified," you look like you didn't read what you shared, or you look like you're exaggerating.

There are factually innocent people in prison. People keep getting beaten by cops at the drop of a hat. You have cops catching themselves on video lying. This is what we want to use as agitprop, not "the cops kept someone in jail for two weeks because they didn't know who they were, and they didn't know who they were because the person lied to them."

Have you considered that not everything that is shared is shared because of its usefulness as agitprop? That people communicate for reasons other than winning internet arguments?

If you don't want to talk about the value of this as agitprop, don't respond to a comment talking about the value of this as agitprop.
