Brandishing a gun just for show, while you'e not willing to fire it... Is more often than not a very silly idea... I'm not convinced this would result in anything but giving them an excuse, a justification, to use force and implement their agenda at a greater pace, state of emergency, martial law, and shit... But maybe that's what needs to happen, after all, those fucks are politicians they care about bad press and optics, a fucking cops on citizens blood bath would certainly not look good on them, it's going to be hard to virtue signal and lecture anybody on human rights after this one, as a mass murderer, despot, blood thirsty dictator murdering his citizens... With the potential for a full blown civil war at the gates...
