Watching the Hunger Games, I saw govt requests to "remain calm" while attacking civilians as detached social commentary. But it's real.
@duartefj I'm glad that in the USA we haven't yet graduated to crowd-control-produced deaths. But it's hard to say we're far off.

@wycats I'm saying that the population didn't go orderly about their business and that the police responded in an appropriate fashion. -
@duartefj have you watched the Hunger Games movie I am analogizing? -
@wycats You either trust the judicial system or you don't. If you don't, then what's the point of saying you want a civilized society? -
@duartefj I'm talking about responding to protests with tear gas etc. Not about the decision. -
@wycats Should they have responded with flower bouquets and kitties? -
@duartefj They should do what it takes to avoid further eroding the legitimacy of the government and police force. Not with tear gas.
