Excellent story Sult but really scary as this could very likely happen! During our hard lockdown, a number of people like Collins Khoza and others died after brutality by the police & our defense force members. These were black folk and our government tried to hush it up with our president saying "their enthusiasm to 'protect' got the better of them"! This man's 'crime' was to be out on the streets after curfew! Our government & the EFF, a radical black political party, then tried to divert media attention away from that incident & went on a campaign supporting BLM and marching in the streets in sympathy with the killing of the American George Floyd, but kept quiet about the deaths of our own black folk here in SA!
Your story is scarily close to what's happened in many countries all over the world, just an excuse to control!
CPTSD actually is very real!
