What are you talking about? They were free to leave. The videos were free to be distributed. They were free to say what they did without arrest.
This did not look like a totalitarian state. Most of us don't know what that looks like, and there's a reason for that.
This is not to say there weren't plays of governmentality and power at work, but we are familiar with these things, especially when groups of people toy with the boundaries.
This was not Orwellian. This was Althusserian...or maybe Foucaultian.

I can't help but think this will ONLY make things worse. I think it's ignorant and possibly stupid for one to come to this conclusion without demonstrating one has explored all other options. Again, we don't know the circumstances surround the video. Are you saying both lawful and unlawful people should use lethal force against the police as a deterrent to future police action?
