Police in Iran have launched an investigation after a video showed riot police repeatedly kicking and then shooting a man

As the old Persian proverb says:

• The soup was so salty that even the king tasted it.

Regime is desperate to show they are acting with civility toward protesters. And TBF compared to their actions during the 1980s and then 2009 riots, they have not used their worse paramilitary groups yet.

Mainly because they know that the moment they use IRGC troops with military weapons, the situation will get out of hands.

They have only acted extremely violent in Baluchistan and Kurdistan, mainly because of the historical conflict in those 2 regions as well as the attacks by separatist groups in those regions targeting IRGC and border patrols.

There are many voices inside the regime calling for abolishing the moral police. They are still in minority but some big names among the clerics have put their voice behind the idea.

One comment was specially important.

The Islamic term of "Amr be maEruf VA nahy az moknksr" (demand righfulness and oppose immoral act), has a limit, if a person doesn't want to be corrected, it is not our job to save their sole, the almighty god will punish them on judgment day.

This means that the whole function of moral police should be changed into an advisory role rather than enforcing or punishing those who do not complying with the Hijab rules.

Unfortunately, these ideas are some 40 years too late and the current situation can't be changed slowly and gradually. The people demanding the resignation of Khamenei and change of theocracy, so there will be nothing in between the 2 lines other than a major conflict, or total collapse of the regime (highly unlikely).
