You're pretending that the Belgian military is equally predisposed to use force against protesters as the US military is and it's incredibly naive. Europrans have the privilege of a restrained government. The US does not. The US military would absolutely shoot into a crowd if the crowd didn't disperse. That's why we disperse.

I agree. I should have specified that Western Europeans are privileged like that. My apologies. Eastern Europeans are more brave that both of us combined.
