i'm happy to see an important story submitted by the writer herself! the incidents described here of lawyers beating up police, journalist and others are clearly concerning, and the writer includes quotes and other sources she used for straightforward reporting of incidents. it feels cut short to me; if she had included a little more of the background context and what has been the reaction among other lawyers and people, or some information to help with understanding why, i would have appreciated it.
i hope to see more stories submitted by the writer about subjects for which we usually don't see enough information
