What worries me is that, b/c of extremists usurping protests, the "acceptable" bodycount will rise, just as it happened in Egypt & Syria
@scroeser MBs protesting in Rabaa didn't choose to die in the streets, and not all of them were militant.

@asteris *nods* I'm not saying we shouldn't cover, or shouldn't condemn police violence, just that it's important to remain critical -
@scroeser I am critical. I am also critical of geopolitical cynics across the spectrum, who choose to mourn killed civilians selectively -
@asteris *nods* Yes, I understand this.

@asteris Condemning it when people are being killed by the government should not stop us from being critical about politics of the protests.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
