You can see how someone could come to that conclusion though right?
If the regime is using violence to bait a violent response as a justification for more violence, then it is by definition a modern false flag.
The regime is already investigating, threatening, and convicting protesters and dissidents.
If we aren't supposed to take action or even denounce these crimes, then what are we to do?
Personally, I think statements like what you made above call for a pause of any action and I do not agree.
