What, do I need to post court documents? Will those count?
You don't need to post court documents. But if you want to say that there's been 100+ days of continuous rioting, and you want to support that by posting videos, then the videos need to show the rioting over the last 100 days or so that you say happened.
Not videos of people who aren't rioting. Even if the videos show that things are disruptive or annoying or making things difficult for residents in the area, if they are videos of people who are not rioting, then they're not evidence that there's been 100+ days of continuous riots.
The quantity of videos that don't show continuous rioting isn't the issue - it's the fact that they're not showing continuous rioting after the June riots (which everyone acknowledges happened, which is why the Portland PD declared it an unlawful assembly and shut it down).
If you want to claim there's an ostrich in your backyard, it's not unreasonable for people to ask you to back that up. It's an unusual claim, after all. It's not "fetching rocks" if people ask you to provide some support for the claim that you have an ostrich in your backyard. And if you then post videos of a pigeon in your backyard, followed by videos of an ostrich at the local zoo, it's not going to support your claim. It doesn't matter how many videos of other birds in your backyard you post, or how many videos of ostriches at other zoos you post. And lamenting that no one would believe you even if you posted a video of the ostrich in your backyard doesn't bring you any closer to actually having provided any support for your claim that there's an ostrich in your backyard.
