Someone else wrote, “Witnessed this live! My heart was full.”
Another user recognised the school in the video and commented, “Now I'm crying. That's my school, you all.”
One parent shared a longer response, writing, “I said to my four-year-old that all these are the brave and kind people who are fighting for you, so please make sure you study well and honour their efforts. Sadly, I couldn't show him the videos or pictures because he is too young to see the violence and cries. I also don't know how to explain that the police and RPF are the ones beating the good people.”
