Thought I'd start a thread about this duo:
One of the lawyers, Colinford Mattis, is a Princeton grad. Needless to say, the two have resources far beyond those of any of the other people busted for rioting that night. When their bail was revoked, a group of 56 former prosecutors wrote a letter saying it was unfair. And others went further:
Keep in mind that Rahman was caught on camera holding the molotov cocktail in her hand.
Now CNN rides to the rescue with a very soft-focus portrait of the two:
Express yourself with a protest sign, not a frigging Molotov cocktail.
How soft-focus is the CNN piece?
Puppies! Awwww!
I suspect these two are going to demonstrate once again that the justice system is biased not by color, but by class.

Two Brooklyn lawyers accused of tossing a Molotov cocktail at an empty NYPD car during a chaotic George Floyd protest last weekend are getting tossed into lockup themselves — for now. |

On Wednesday, a group of 650 current and former New York University School of Law students, student organizations, faculty and staff wrote a letter calling for the government to release Rahman and Mattis and drop the charges against them, which the group described as politically motivated. |
Now CNN rides to the rescue with a very soft-focus portrait of the two:

By all accounts, their alleged actions stand in contrast to their nature. According to their friends and lawyers and a review of their professional experiences and personal lives, Mattis and Rahman are lifelong social justice advocates with deep interests in civil rights and police reform, but neither displayed signs that they might engage in the sort of violent outburst of which they are accused. |

A former colleague of Rahman's, Alicia Bella, said she couldn't reconcile the charges with the person she knew. "I'm very surprised. My heart goes out to her, and I want to do everything I can to help her," she said. "I know what this country does to people who express themselves. I'm definitely worried." |

When he ran for social chair of the law school's student bar association, he described himself in his campaign pitch as "pretty chill & super friendly + I like dopeness." He suggested that as chair he would push for food at events, puppies at dog therapy, "and whatever fresh ideas y'all have." |
