for real, who watches this video and thinks "nah, riot police would never do that - I demand a source" 🤦‍♀️

skepticism is likewise exploitable, and useful for ignoring evidence - the fact that the video does not seem to be produced by AI is not a conclusion reached from a world view or bias, but unwillingness to believe it's real might be
