Fallacy

Bersih 3.0 rally is coming soon. The 2.0 rally is still fresh in mind.
The amount of people, the way the police handle the situation, and how the authorities handle the crowd, are all documented in the database of world wide web.

While we can see the amount of people that are involved in the rally from the youtube and pictures circulating the net which could've been some 10,000-30,000 of participants and above; the government have claimed to the mainstream media that the protestors are only merely 5,000 to 6,000. Obviously, the media could've known the real number, but they just simply could not publish the truth for the fear of license suspension as what had happened to Sin Chew Daily in 1987. For this, we know that it is "Ad populum appeal to force"

During the rally took place, our Prime Minister was having some politics function with many local citizens, and the party's supporters. During a speech that he had given to the participant, this is what he mentioned (translated into English) "Just now, the Deputy PM showed me youtube clips about the (Bersih 2.0) rally, that leader of the opposition party (Anwar), he was just being choked with a weeeeeeee bit of tear gas, and he was showing that pitiful face and being sent to the hospital." In the speech, he stressed the word "a weeeeeee bit of tear gas" (hanya kena sikiiiiiiiiiit tear gas), why did he do that? He's applying "Ad populum appeal to shame". In this case, he's trying to make the crowd believe that the amount of tear gas involved is only very minimal, and it is shameful that how Anwar has reacted (and is shameful that if the audience believe that Anwar is in pain).

In the post mortem press conference, the Bukit Aman Chief Police Officer mentioned, that the police operations in response to the rallies, are a huge success. When the press inquire the reason for using tear gas or water gun towards the peaceful gathering protestors, his reply is that "This is the standard procedure for dismissing a protest." And then he claimed that "We did not fire the tear gas towards the crowd nor hospital, they just happen to fall towards their direction/compound." and again, he claimed "Every country does the same for handling a protest, this is the standard procedure." At this point of time, he's creating a sense of dilemma that when there's a protest happening, shooting tear gas and poisonous water gun is the only option for the police. Clearly he did not mention about the level of nervousness of a protest in order to use the above items. A peaceful protest where protestant only sit on the street can not be treated with tear gas, which are the item to control protestant with armed weapons. And the use of water gun must be announced with at least 2 warnings before shooting it to the protestant, which we can all see in the youtube clips, the police have not send any warnings at all. Hence, in this situation, the speaker was using "Ad populum appeal to false dilemma"
