Did they just walk up to a random couple enjoying a drink and make them empty their pockets?

Yes.

Same in Covid. Police targeting lone old pensionera sitting in park etc.

Yup.

This is part of a process of demoralisation in my opinion.

They want us to think there's no pattern.

It's a classic demoralisation technique used by cults and despotic regimes alike. Getting people to comply with things that clearly make no sense.

The end result is somebody that just gives up questioning anything and readily complies with anything, no matter how nonsensical or illogical.

This technique works best when there is an element of humiliation involved, like in the example of the private law abiding citizen having to reveal her personal items to strangers.

It's fucking exhausting tbh.

Pattern? PATTERN? 👀
