the Modern Day Boys Who Cried Wolf

As reported by Avi Rabina on Twitter, at a hafgana in Jerusalem today, protesters were trying to save one of their friends and fellow protesters from being arrested. They were trying to scare off the police by calling out "Autist", as if warning the cops to lay off that guy because he is autistic. This is in light of the recent hafgana in which police beat up an autistic kid.
Here is the tweet with footage from the hafgana:

שיטה חדשה? בהפגנת הקיצוניים נשמעו צעקות "הוא אוטיסט" "הוא אוטיסט" בניסון להפחיד את השוטרים ולהציל את החשוד ממעצר. pic.twitter.com/uVSlJolkKO — אבי רבינא (@AviRabina) June 24, 2019

1. (to scoff at the police a bit because they have refused to investigate the previous case), the police don't care and screaming "autist" isn't going to top them from eating him up and arresting him. Perhaps it might even have the opposite effect!
2. They are now like the boy who cried wolf. If this will be a new tactic used at hafganot to avoid arrest, when there is another situation and the police dont realize someone involved is autistic, they will just ignore the warnings - like the boy who cried wolf.
