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

      EDIT: reading TingoTenga’s comment history, I wonder if they were intending to be sarcastic or humorous? Or maybe they are just responding to the title of the post and not the video?

        With how pervasive AI generated video is now, you can’t imagine doubting the veracity of this vid?

          It would be different if people started floating away or growing extra arms, it’s not hard to find real footage of cops being assholes

            Plus the other side is palestinian protestors.

            The only way it would be more believable is if it was in the US and a labor strike with sanitation workers after MLK did his “at the mountain top” speech.

          even if AI generated videos are increasingly common, there was nothing about this video that required suspension of disbelief or made me think it might be fake
