So they participated in an illegal protest and then are surprised police used violence to stop it after giving warnings?
Why would violence be the appropriate / expected result in your mind?
Using violence to enforce the law and government decree is literally the job of the police.
I expect police to arrest people breaking the law or fine them, not beat them with sticks.
I have been to plenty of protests, where it got rough. I have been arrested several times at protests as well.
I prefer a shove and a couple of hits with a bat to legs and torso to spending a day in lockup, getting my ID and fingerprints taken, and later a fine on top. Riot cops aren’t gentle when they arrest you.
Maybe you would. How about a 60 year old woman?
I didn’t see a 60 year old woman in the video. Many 60 year olds are physically fit and able to run and jog for a bit just fine.
