Should be easy to beat this and not worry about being identified and sued.

I know it will be hard guys, but how about:

"Don't be a power tripping asshole"

You see people holding signs?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

You see people marching?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

You see reporters documenting it all?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

"Don't be a power tripping asshole."

Also, “Don’t violate people’s constitutional rights, which you must have at least tangentially sworn to protect and uphold.” 🤷‍♂️

"You hear them boys?! We are not to humiliate those idiots! LIVE ROUNDS BOYS!"

but what if they glare at me very menacingly, surely I can then shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them, right?

they're lookin at me Sarge. with their eyes.

I don’t think the people you’re asking to not be a power tripping asshole understand that combination of words.

So, shoot live rounds, then?
