This is retarded; governments want violent reactions. They put millions into militarizing police for just this reason. Violence is easily put down and allows them to delegitimize their opponents.
I agree with you that options need to be exhausted first, but the fear I am expressing is that once those options have been exhausted people will not acknowledge that they have been exhausted. People will cling to the idea that they can still use something other than violence, when violence is at last the sole option on the table. They'd rather fool themselves for their entire lives.
