Counterpoint: HK had 1/7 of the population peacefully protesting, and yet it still got violently suppressed.

Been saying this all week. You don’t intimidate them with rocks and M80s. You intimidate them with unmanageable numbers.

I wonder how big of a crowd you could subdue with drone swarms high above the throngs deploying a high dispersal cloud of something down onto them.

Thousands? Hmm. I wonder when we'll see them try.

I mean... You could probably disperse any amount, but a lot of people are going to die from crowd crush

That tends to upset people. One or two picked off by the cops and beaten to death? They were just having fun, they can spin that as an outlier and victim blame

Hundreds trampled to death because you made a full block of people try to run screaming all at once? It's a lot harder to spin or hide that

It’s actually a weapon.

Curious. Doesn't square with EVERYTHING MEDIA SAYS. Wonder why.

Obviously the protesters must just get super riled up about all that law and order. And they go absolutely bananas about seeing all those police doing all that protecting and serving!!!

So, therefore, the more protesters there are the less they'll see any of the above polite policing and the less they'll get all angry and menacing. It's basic maths, really.
