funny the words journalists use…
it says ‘it is not known what led up to the ‘confrontation’????
Confrontation? Doesn’t that imply two people, confronting each other?
Nothing more than what you saw led up to it. They saw a woman in a hijab,

This reminds me of mainstream media during protests, they’ll always use the word
‘clash’s’, even tho it’s obvious cops doing all the attacking
