Should be easy to beat this and not worry about being identified and sued.

I know it will be hard guys, but how about:

"Don't be a power tripping asshole"

You see people holding signs?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

You see people marching?

Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.

You see reporters documenting it all?

I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason

Upvoted and agreed, not least because I just learned that "all of the sudden," while at present a nonstandard variant of "all of a sudden," has valid history.

And of course it doesn't matter in this casual context!

But in formal writing, in this era, using "a" will avoid distracting the reader from your main point.

Also, “Don’t violate people’s constitutional rights, which you must have at least tangentially sworn to protect and uphold.” ‍️

"All of the sudden" is only valid because it's so commonly (incorrectly) used. Much as it annoys me, that's just how language works.

"of the sudden" (1570) actually predates "of a sudden" (Shakespeare) according to my OED as squinted at through the nifty magnifying glass. But it's been considered obsolete for a long time despite having all of a sudden experienced a resurgence.

(Note, I modernized the spellings of "sudden" rather than try to switch focus back and forth)
