Governing right up to the line
All political governments are the ethical equivalent of the 9/11 terrorists. Or, probably, worse.
Since 9/11, airplane passengers-- at least in America-- know they have nothing to lose by fighting back against hijackers as hard as they can. Even if it means they die in the fight. Those hijackers ruined it for all the disgusting hijackers who come after them.
Since the coronapocalypse, some people may be realizing the same thing about political government.
Governments need to be careful to grab as much power as they can get away with, but not so much that the people decide they have nothing to lose by decorating lamp posts and barbed wire fences with the remains of the oppressors.
They have to be very careful to not make governing impossibly dangerous for those who come after them and from now on. I think it's a finer line than they realize.
Truthfully, I kind of hope they fail, even though it would mean some hard choices in the immediate future. I'm tired of tolerating the intolerable and would rather not leave that kind of world for my descendants.

A police state always ends with all the police being dead.
Its too bad they are not the root cause of the problem.
It is the structure that creates a need for police men and criminals.
Fortunately the new social structures will eliminate the thin blue line.
And there is nothing we need to do with the old structure except move away from it.
Every government have a fear to take such reaction against the covid-19 situation, as they think business and economic growth will be diminished in the hard line.
I dont know of anyone else who would do such a good job at keeping me safe. Gold stars all around.
