    Upon watching the video then reading further, they seem to have left the square to clear nearby streets. Your comment says he wanted them to stay. Therefore you’re saying he wanted them not to continue clearing the area? Or are you saying he wanted them to continue to maintain the square?

      He seems to be blocking their exiting the square, so it appears he wanted them to remain in it. I don’t know where the tanks were going. Perhaps back to base, perhaps somewhere else.

      Edit to add: Back to base seems most likely, because this was on June 5th, the day after the protests had ended.

        They cleared the side streets after this. How does blocking equal wanting them to stay? Seems like wanting them to stop.

          If they were “clearing side streets” they would have split up

          They were clearly leaving

      That sounds so strange, how do we expect them to clear entire streets if they can’t even get past a single guy armed with grocery bags?

        How does not wanting to run a guy over equal an inability to?
