I would like to see any post-stress discussion about what forced measures were good and what bad. I have seen both online and offline a lot of abuse of office from police, such as bulling a lone walkers while being in crowd.

Enough with this bullshit.

This brand of disingenuous whining reads like someone complaining the police pull them over for no reason when they were actually crossing a red light, and they still have the gall to play the victim card.

Every time you increase compliance through force, you increase the incidents of abuse and incorrect use of the force. That's not a fallacious or even surprising revelation, and it's not specific to anything in particular about COVID-19.

It can be detrimental overall when the measures to be enforced are mostly security theater, rather than effective. Unfortunately, my observations are that both after 9/11 and during the COVID-19 crisis, force was on the bottom line mostly used to oppress and abuse, less so to decrease risk of terrorist acts and infection respectively.

In a smarter, less corrupted society, where these measures we're trying to enforce are well thought out, tested and effective, the use of force would still be necessary, despite compliance in general would be better due to effective information campaigns. Alas.
