How about NOT shooting at protesters?

This, the fact that It's becoming more and more normal for governments to do this makes me worried...

Yes, including the especially worrying and unconstitutional fact that now there is legislation making it a crime to protest specific things, like pipelines. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/08/wave-of-new-laws-aim-to-stifle-anti-pipeline-protests-activists-say

Things might eventually heat up on the middle east, so I think we should know about the repression of the Israeli government.

It's some instructions the IDF has given to its soldiers. I wonder if they are seeking to reduce the number of kills?

Of course it's to reduce the number of deaths. They've realized they're losing their "favored" status among the common Americans due to their brutal tactics.
