LAPD is using "terrorizing" over and over to describe the actions of protestors

[Liberal_in_LA]

Every interview, the top brass say blocking traffic is terrorizing the LA public. Deliberate use of the word.

Oh, the irony

[Trillo]

1. Probably only because employers routinely terrorize low-level employees

Gotta get to work on time, or you're fired.

[woo me with science]

2. Important observation. We live steeped in propaganda.

Every word is carefully considered, and use of that word for protesters is absolutely deliberate.

3. they need a fucking dictionary

[TheKentuckian]

4. They have one and have carefully selected this word for effect and plausibly to justify

pending extreme reaction.

[elehhhhna]

5. violation inflation

to justify their brutal response.

you nailed it.
