Tim Pool has decided it is not safe or smart to cover #Milwaukee because he looks like a white guy.

Watch the video, he’s having a hard time spinning, you can tell he BADLY wants to ignore the blatant racism that is making it unsafe for him to be there.

Of course he totes gets it because the press “can be annoying.”

Maybe you can cover golf on Martha's Vineyard. It's considerably safer. https://t.co/IaIu3oHZZF

He flat out says, “it’s not safe if you’re white to be here.”

@conservtivegurl What a sad day

He doesn’t like racial tension, especially when a “white kid get’s shot in the neck.” Guess that got a little too real for him.

@YouTube WOW! Great work Tim. Stay safe my friend, too many good journalists have already lost their lives on the job. ?

And then again, maybe it’s good to know when to quit.
