The US has it's own problems with violent repression of protesters.

US just jailed hundreds of protesters with exaggerated felonies, whom were concerned about the many still-unaddressed problems with the 2020 election, including shooting at least one dead.

The US then disbarred and legally retaliated against anyone who pursued addressing the election problems the public is upset against, while obstructing any legally protected efforts that were initiated.

This is in stark contrast to the many months long riots protesting the 2016 election, including the overt and open efforts to initiate (by name) an insurrection, the protesters inside the Capitol Building who disrupted the Jan 6, 2017 electoral count, with the contribution of obstruction delays by 11 politicians, without legal authority attempting to reject electors. The electoral count had to be delayed and during the special session to completed it, two protesters had snuck into the actual proceeding and stood up shouting protest within inches of Congress; they were not shot dead, nor arrested.

One candidate even paid for Russian manipulation of the election through a foreign agent and shell companies. Prior to all this was the open, televised, and b-actor celebrity touted efforts to trick, influence, and intimidate electors into voting against their constituents and their state laws with the "Hamilton Electors" election manipulation scheme.

I don't recall any of that resulting in arrests, nor being shot dead. Some rioters were arrested, but most were later released without charges, through a lobbying effort towards prosecutors, by politicians who had supported and urged their violence. They convinced prosecutors to deem even the actions of very violent activists, arresting during the anti-election rioting, to be just protected protesting and drop charges.
