Riots LA/Xinjiang
Riots have been going on through history, they happen in every civilization.
Maybe there would have been fewer deaths In Xinjiang if the government had left the Internet open in the city, they could have used the Internet to contact people to tell them to stay in their homes.
The authority could also use the Internet to solicit information on the mobs where they are going, and what they are up to.
Leaving the Internet open the government might have allowed some of the Malcontents too organize, but the benefits of having lines of communications open would have facilitated the dissemination of information to the general population such as how to barricade a doorway, or basic first aid this would have lowered the death tole.
The police could develop a system like CNN I report, which could allow people to report and even send photos to the police this would allow the police to preempt the Malcontents.
The population could use the Internet to tell the police were Malcontents are located this could also bring the general Uyghur population closer because many of them would have reported the location of mobs. Not every emeber of a population participats in the Riot and many refuse to partake in the violence.
Every type of technological innovation has been used for destructive, or criminal ends but in the end, they help people more than they hurt them.
During the LA riots (1992), There were two people who were severely beaten by Rioters when they drove through an Inter section one was Reginald Denny a white truck driver was pulled out of his truck and beaten severely. This whole thing was caught live on TV for the whole world to see, and it saved his life because an African American man named Bobby Green Jr seeing this man being beaten like an animal; This Black man without regard for his own life drove into a caldron of violence to rescue a perfect stranger.
Minutes after Denny was taken to safety another man drove through the same intersection and was forcibly removed from his vehicle his name was Fidel Lopez a Guatemalan Immigrant. His beating was also caught on a camera for all to see, and he was saved Rev,Benny Newton an African American Minister who ran a nearby neighborhood ministry. Newton came to his rescue and used his own body to shield Lopez from further injury Newton was Quoted saying to the rioters “Kill him and you have to kill me too”.
How many people DIED who didn't have to because no one was there because a selfish Oligarchy refuse allow an independent Media(not state Run media)to report in real time?
How many people in Xinjiang would still be alive to day?
