Responses:

Reading over this crisis yesterday, I still think it's being mischaracterized as government violence. Appears they overreacted to violent protests -- nm - Max Feb 20, 13:49 5
- But police, military etc are accountable to a chain of command, while individual protesters are not. - Roger More Feb 20, 13:56 4
  - There really is. You don't get to storm government buildings because you're unhappy at a trade agreement. And if the cops tell you to back off... - Max Feb 20, 13:58 3
    - But if there are a small number of protesters inciting violence, the response should be proportional - Roger More Feb 20, 14:30
    - There's some blame to be had by both sides, but I think that the majority of the blame lies with the government. - spamlet Feb 20, 14:16
    - There's very reasonable evidence that the gov't (and Moscow) has hired cossack goon squads to attack protesters. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 20, 14:09
*shows up, snowplows the whole way down* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 20, 13:24 1
- throws chunks of ice at the heads of journalists and security guards -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 20, 13:31
