Thanks for the health warning ..

What took place was not a series of isolated excesses or lapses in discipline, but the systematic deployment of lethal force by the state against civilian protesters. Even the most cautious estimates place total fatalities – including security personnel – at no fewer than five thousand, with civilians constituting the overwhelming majority of the dead, while other assessments suggest a substantially higher toll.

Utter cr*p. I stopped reading there. An uninformed commentator. Wooly factual evidence and confirmation bias imo.
