  June 02, 2020 at 05:27PM   Rihanna has paused production on her three lucrative brands—cosmetics company Fenty Beauty, lingerie line Savage x Fenty, and LVMH-helmed luxury line Fenty—in response to the ongoing protests demanding justice for George Floyd and Black victims of police brutality in America. The star took to social media to share that she and her businesses would be participating in Blackout Tuesday, a social media campaign that encourages the public to cease posting personal content and instead educate themselves on the Black Lives Matter movement, amplify Black voices, and support Black-owned brands. The purpose of the campaign is not only to continue to bring awareness to the unjust murder of George Floyd but also to showcase the power of the Black dollar and how Black Americans have vital spending power in the country. “We ain’t buying shit!!! and we ain’t selling shit neither!! gang gang! #BLACKOUTTUESDAY AF!!!” wrote Rihanna on Twitter and Instagram, posted with the campaign’s adopted image of a black square.

And this week, as peaceful protests and violent outbursts spread throughout the nation in response to police brutality and the killing of George Floyd by a law enforcement officer, Vulture‘s Kathryn VanArendonk wrote about the popularity of fictional cops set against this grim context. “TV has long had a police’s-eye perspective that helps shape the way viewers see the world,” she wrote, “prioritizing the victories and struggles of police over communities being policed.” Many Americans associate police work with the moral high ground and the fictional officers they see in beloved shows like NCIS, Law & Order, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, CSI, Chicago PD, Blue Bloods, and going all the way back to Dragnet.
