       RT @TexTheLaw@twitter.comAgain on govt sincerity, how do you tar the people who organised peacefully for nearly two weeks (arranging feeding, medicine, welfare etc) with the same brush as thugs who emerged on the final day looting and burning? #EndSARS

       @cybeardjm Sounds to me like the protesters were interrupted by rioters.

       @jelutz77 indeed there were paid thugs at some point, and later the army fired on peaceful protesters.

       @cybeardjm If protesters were fired upon, the protesters were apparently too naive to get out of the way when things were obviously out of control. Most people would flee the area if it got that heated.

       @cybeardjm Ok, thanks, I hadn't heard of it until today. I don't know much about Nigerian police, but I know that in some countries they use the police and military to kill people who oppose the government, whether rioting or protesting or trying to hide.

       @jelutz77 that's exactly what happened. Peaceful protests against police brutality ended with army shooting the crowd, peacefully seated and singing the national anthem...
