My son is four and he’s terrified of Police. He literally understands that police brutality and calls it evil! Violence plays right infront or them, it is the systems that should do better!
Seeing children doing this is scary for it makes one face the hardest truth - that we are not surviving the violence intact. The children are simply a mirror of your society!
Kids will choose to act what they see around them. So be angry about what your country as whole has become. Children are sometimes easy target to control their expression without offering them help and explanations of why the violence.
Actually, have conversations with children on what all this violence is doing to them. Such plays are enacted in playgrounds at our houses. I wish it was cinema but actually, many are missing parents and others are traumatised from seeing all shootings and teargas on TVs.
You really think kids live different lives than adults?
My 3-year-old niece first words included 'teargas' and knew what police siren was about.
She saw this on her way to daycare and the news and the brutality subjected to people is everywhere. They know what is up!

"For many years, police, military, and internal security officials in Uganda have swept people up at gunpoint from their homes or workplaces, or on the streets, and held them, oftentimes in secret locations, where they are tortured...." https://t.co/Qeg1F0lp4a
