Should be easy to beat this and not worry about being identified and sued.

"Don't be a power tripping asshole"

You see people holding signs?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

You see people marching?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

You see reporters documenting it all?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

"Don't be a power tripping asshole."
