    “You can’t protest agains police violence because we don’t have enough police officers”. I’m sure that will stop them

      It almost seems like a trap, they are all but saying “please stop protesting we can’t take it any more”, a protest becomes a coup/revolution if the authorities refuse to concede to the demands and are overwhelmed by the protesters
