"How has it come to this?" Ana, this has been happening for years! Police brutality really is nothing new - it wasn't new in 2014 when I first learned about it after the shooting of Mike Brown and it certainly isn't new now. It bewilders me how a nineteen year old can be so uninformed given the current state of the world. I turned nineteen in 2016 and I can't even begin to imagine not being engaged with current affairs back then; I clearly remember how angry and anxious and scared I was after the results of the EU referrendum and US election. Since then so much has happened, and yes it's important to know when to close Twitter or the news or whatever to protect your mental health given how easy it is to feel overwhelmed by all the information available these days, but with Ana it's not as if she's even the slightest bit engaged in the first place. And if she wants to argue that, then I would tell her this: she certainly doesn't come across like she cares about global affairs and systematic oppression. She should donate (she who would apparently donate £750 of her last grand to charity...) and retweet from some actual activists because it's obvious that she's just too ignorant to try and form even a sentence about why this is so important herself.
