Occupy Wall Street showed this issue pretty well. While many moderate liberals quickly latched on to the movement, they just as quickly abandoned it and lapped up the narrative that the police were compelled to tear down encampments and beat people due to "unsanitary" conditions (despite them having sanitation crews) of the camps or because some people nearby broke a couple windows.

But when the cops break a couple (hundred) bones? That's cool, I guess.
