They're making a huge mistake authoritative often do. You have to give people something to lose. If the minimum of resistance leads to the maximum punishment, then it doesn't encourage people not to resist, it encourages them to go further because they're already being punished as much as they can be. This is going to radicalized a lot of people. May all the protesters be safe.
