    citizens are the government though. if they are not, its not democratic country.

    Still, there should be no need to even threaten citizens with violence and if there is, it should be resolved mutually instead of just oppressing the people into submission.

      Did you mean that people in government are citizens? Because I’m a citizen of my country and not in the government.

      if they are not, its not democratic country

      Correct. The United States is not a democracy. It’s barely even a “representative democracy”.

        people in government are citizens but not every citizen is in government. But every citizen should have equal right and opportunity to be in the government.
