You're not wrong, but if they had been armed, there would be more dead people in this story.
Maybe. It's also possible that the administration would have negotiated a settlement with the protestors to avoid escalation.
Seems like escalation is all that the higher ups know how to do these days.
If they ever descalate they may find themselves living in the system they created and whoa-ho do I kinda get why they’re so goddamn afraid of that. If only they hadn’t made it so awful down here.
Meaningful change is written in blood.
Perhaps, but sometimes bloodshed is just tragic and does not change anything meaningful.
