Would the United States be Horrortalking about police brutality as much as it is today without Vine?
It's a fair question to ask on Thursday, after Twitter announced it was ending the short-form video app.
SEE ALSO: Police use facial recognition much more than you realizeIn Ferguson, Missouri, residents gathered in communities and city streets after an officer there fatally shot a teenager named Mike Brown in August, 2014.
Protests followed, and news of the police response -- tear gas, assault rifles, armored vehicles -- soon ripped through social media, even though there was no Periscope or Facebook Live, and Snapchat was not yet a platform for news outlets.

Demonstrators turned to Vine, and some of the most jaw-dropping and heart-warming images from Ferguson weren't images at all, but six-second videos that captured the fright, chaos, community, love and anger of the city throughout that month.

Vine offered first-hand, authentic video documentation of protest without the need for news crews and giant cameras. It gave demonstrators a voice that resonated beyond text.
