    for real, who watches this video and thinks “nah, riot police would never do that - I demand a source” 🤦‍♀️

    EDIT: reading TingoTenga’s comment history, I wonder if they were intending to be sarcastic or humorous? Or maybe they are just responding to the title of the post and not the video?

      With how pervasive AI generated video is now, you can’t imagine doubting the veracity of this vid?
