Social unrest is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. The same way chemotherapy drugs are supposed to make you feel sick.

Government overreach and police abuse are comparable to cancer. In both cases you have a part of a system that when functioning normally will maintain stability. But the local components become confused about their instructions and act in a way that is counterproductive to the health of the larger structure. The malady will spread and convert nearby healthy cells into cancerous cells. Because the culprits are normal parts of the body it is difficult to isolate the good from bad and the cures that are good at removing the bad cells have the side effect of damaging or disrupting good cells. But a temporary manageable pain is better than allowing a destructive impulse to destroy the body from the inside-out.
