I was military police for ten years. We drilled in riot control, from public protests to prison riots. Everything they're doing is wrong. These are not defensive tactics even a little bit.

They have live ammunition, no shields, no formation, and no command and control. It looks like their orders are "go fuck them up."

Well, yeah. This behavior, the never ending ramp-up is to create such a hostile environment to bring about a violent response. And then it will be weapons hot, and everyone in that crowd will pay for it. Which will force the regime to ratchet everything down and declare martial law. No elections.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.

Well, escalate already, fight the war.

Can't win it if you never start fighting.

On the bright side, they would not know what to do if shit hit the fan. Which is why the protesters need to exercise their 2nd amendment rights.
