While looking for a supportive audience, Caz also seems worried that they won't find one. There are repeated disclaimers in their post, both at the end of the writing and the heading of the tweet. The heading describes how “sleep-deprived” the author as a defense mechanism of sorts - Afterall, if the author was tired when they wrote it, then they are less responsible if the content is partially developed. However, the piece is well written; it is grammatical and spell-checked. It seems more likely that the author could be saying that their “sleep-deprived” brain is allowing them to be unfiltered. This establishes both trust from the reader because of the bluntness of their opinion but gives the writer a way out. There is also a repetitious label of this piece as “opinion” even though it is not needed. While this may be a response to online negativity in general, it could be a reflection of the author’s worry about tweeters taking issue with the evaluation of public services. This way, if the public takes the author’s opinion in a poor light, then the author can point to both of their disclaimers as well as free speech (i.e. "this was just my opinion...") for a way out. 

This author also gives a lot of authority and respect to the police officer in the story because of perceived positive behavior, (i.e. talking to the mentally ill person). The “Police Officer” is markedly capitalized while the rest of the capitalization are markers for sentence beginnings. This places the police officer at a higher level of formality than the “guys” and marks a higher level of authority than the other two members of the story. Also, while the onlooker focuses on the “bad” the author notices how “Great” the officer is for talking to the sick person. This means the author respects police officers and perceives them as handling the problem of a distressed mentally ill man. Notably, this is an opinion and story-based format of a tweet that ends with a moral. While this worthy of argument, the author ends their tweet with “#mentalhealthstigma” “#don’tstare !!” and emphasizes with exclamations how lack of judgment and lack of public attention is what the mentally ill person needs

Bishop Talbert Swan displays his message of inequality through writing as well as video. They note how, “[Walter Wallace Jr.] allegedly had a knife”. The use of “allegedly” plants doubt and suggests that there is little evidence. In the video, the white counterpart definitely has a knife and waves it at police officers while Wallace’s weapon is not clearly shown. This hazy perspective of Walter Wallace Jr.’s crime and obviousness of the white counterpart’s attack influences the audience to interpret Wallace’s death as worthy of sympathy.

Unfortunately, the boundaries of the data are how social media is not equally available to the population, like those who are homeless or incarcerated who may experience the full corruption of the mental health system. Also, social media is not a place without its own stigmas and bullies, so many of those who suffer from severe mental illness  (e.g. psychotic breaks or depression) may not feel comfortable informing the world of their condition and viewpoints. Perhaps more research needs to be done on more specific mental illness hashtags (e.g. ones for depression, sociopathy, or those who suffer from psychosis) to see if these communities are robust and if they add to the voices for change.
