Can anyone think of a case where opening fire on unarmed citizens actually caused unrest to die down? Because I can’t think of a single case. Even in Russia, the Russian Revolution of 1905 was sparked off by firing on civilians.
In every case I can think of it made things worse for whoever was in charge. Aren’t there any counterexamples?
