When George Floyd and Breonna Taylor were murdered by the police, the videos were widely circulated on television and across various social media platforms (e.g Instagram, Twitter, TikTok). Previous research has found that viewing these murders, and other race-related traumatic experiences captured on video can negatively impact young people of color. The current study analyzes quantitative and qualitative survey data from 121 girls and gender expansive youth of color to learn more about how often they saw viral videos of police brutality, how viewing this type of media made them feel, and what strategies they used to cope with their emotions. In the quantitative findings, we found three major findings: (1) 91% of participants saw videos of police brutality ‘most days’ or ‘sometimes,’ the most common emotions felt after viewing the videos were anger/frustration (80.2%), sadness/grief (76.9%), and fear (59.5%), and 80% of young people stated they take breaks from social media or watching, reading, or listening to news stories after encountering police brutality content. In qualitative responses to how the videos made them feel, we identified seven themes: feeling angry (n = 15), feeling disappointed (n = 14), feeling vulnerable or worrying excessively about the dangers of the world (n = 14), and feeling multiple emotions (n= 14). In response, however, youth engaged in five domains of coping to protect their wellbeing: psychological self-care, spiritual self-care, relationship self-care, physical self-care, and emotional self-care.
