“Police banged their shields in unison and advanced, screaming [“move”]. At intervals, they pepper-sprayed the crowd, fired tear gas, and beat demonstrators with their batons at will. […] This cycle of violence continued for nearly 40 minutes.”

I went to shops today, and physical media video is aimed at old people now.
If it was for younger ppl, it would all be UHD-BDs, the format that's ten years old whose players can play older stuff.
Instead there was way more new releases on DVD, a format that's 30 years old. UHD-BDs were rare.
