Police are being given powers in public writing to arrest anyone and act without permission of local administrators.
Those administrators (with bands of local people banging pots and pans) are having to take justice in their own hands and apprehend thugs to protect citizens.

The thugs are often on drugs and, after being apprehended, are admitting that they have been paid significant sums of cash to commit these acts. Some are still carrying their prison release forms from yesterday
Thugs are being referred to as "strangers", "inciters" and trouble makers. If the aim was to sow confusion and fear, it seems to be working.
Even in light of all the many well-documented violent and heinous acts that Myanmar's security bureaucracy has committed (since Colonial times and until today), these tactics are breathtakingly dark.
Twisted acts of callous violence by #Myanmar remained the norm in ethnic conflict areas even under the recent era of partial democracy. But these kinds of scenes have not been seen in urban areas for a very long time.
Everything possible must be done to make this the regime's last gasp for air!
