I don’t think she makes the point she thinks that she’s making.

I agree, but to be clear, one Ben Kellerman assembled the evidence in this article lionizing Leah Millis.

Millis has a background with a “street photography collective” called Burn My Eye and she has a habit of showing up at violent Black Lives Matter protests, such as:

Reuters photographer Leah Millis said she was one of a group of journalists detained by law enforcement while reporting on a protest in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on the night of April 16, 2021.

Several hundred protesters marched to the Brooklyn Center Police Department in response to the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, a Black man, by a white police officer during a traffic stop. Wright’s death, on April 11, occurred as a former police officer in nearby Minneapolis was on trial in the death of George Floyd, rekindling a wave of protests against racial injustice and police brutality that had started nearly a year earlier. . .


A month before that event, she was speaking at a conference on “Documenting the Black Lives Matter Protests”:
