The highest authority in the country directed police to dominate the public. This is how they dominate the public: fear, intimidation, the deployment of chemical weapons and physical violence against crowds, the 3 AM knock on the door. Next come the targeted killings, roving death squads, and the mothers of the disappeared protesting in public squares. It's alomost like an international standard being followed to the letter. Will no one rid us of the meddlesome priest?
The poor police were just following orders.
