The truth about "two-tier policing”

Rioters, far right activists, as well as owner of X Elon Musk, have been propagating the idea of “two-tier policing”. The claim is that police is overly lenient towards protesters of progressive causes and racial minority protesters, compared to others. Lilie Chouliaraki and Kathryn Claire Higgins argue that this claim gets things backwards, and identify this is an instance of a communication strategy of reverse victimization by the far right.
