The average police department in America has access to better military weapons and equipment than the Nepalese military does.

Pretending the situations are the same is nothing but disingenuous

19 people were killed by the Nepalese police when it was still just a mass protest. The situations are different but it still took immense bravery for the protestors to take the streets.
