The gaslighting continues. After the opposition, the church, the international community and dark forces from the other world, now it’s parents to blame for public protests. It is parents who “take their children to the police” who deal with “criminals, not parenting”. Meanwhile, terrorism charges are the latest weapon in this administration’s anti-protest arsenal of “lawfare”.
On the ground, the “operationally independent” police now have three different instructions in three weeks – shoot to kill, shoot the legs (and “shoot and kill”) and shoot in self-defence. In our deliberately dystopian State, the hierarchy of public order reads politicians – police – people.
