[quote=@Tank O The Lake] See for yourself. *I gesture to a newscast blaring from one of the enormous screens. A made-up female anchor speaks into the screen, while videos of parked police vehicles and protestors being taken into custody by faceless enforcers scroll past.* NEWSCASTER: A riot in South Union was broken up yesterday following a disturbance at an unregistered religious meeting. Police say the self-proclaimed priest attempted to flee when asked for his credentials and was taken into custody, leading to a confrontation between armed agitators and government forces. No one was hurt and the disturbance is under-- *I clench my fist and the screen begins to distort.* Now let's see the truth. *The screen changes. Now it's bodycam footage of an apartment door being kicked in, of scared parishioners gathering behind a man in Catholic vestments. One of the rifle-toting policemen demands the names of everyone there; the priest refuses. He steps forward and cracks the old man across the head with the butt of his gun, knocking him to the floor as his flock screams and scatters, and the footage ends with the recording officer reaching to turn his bodycam off. Then, there's footage of bottles and rocks bouncing off of riot shields, of those same faceless enforcers knocking down and beating the protestors, and finally, gunsmoke and blood in the air as live ammunition is discharged into the crowds. People hit the ground. Some are screaming and writhing as they bleed. Some aren't moving at all.* *I release my fist and the screen returns to normal.* Fourteen "commonfolk" died yesterday. Seventy-three are still in the hospital, survival doubtful. Not one of the men who fired those shots will face any consequences from the law or their superiors. *I huff.* Of course, if any of those men were to happen upon some misfortune while treading through the more dangerous parts of Union, I doubt any workingman would report it.
