I shied away from the police violence videos, and snuck them in quietly later, because mainly I wanted to establish the _innocence_ of the protest, which is key for showing the _inaccuracy_ of it's mainstream media representation, and the _absurdity_ of the parliamentary response. The police are not the enemies here, and I didn't want to inflame things too much. I'm trying to get this done in an orderly fashion.

And just so we're clear, I'm not posting anything on NZ reddit atm. That is someone else who has heard me and understands _exactly_ the game we're in here. I expect that we may not agree on politics, but we agree on democracy, so kudos to their effort on that platform.
I believe this is an act of subversion, if this kind of thing is annoying anyone.
