My first response is to do it to show how brutal and terrible it is to wake people up. Then, I remember how many people who tie their identities to not waking up and how this would normalize murder for them.
I remember watching this interview with a journalist who bore witness to an execution by firing squad, and it felt a lot like he was using that interview to finally talk about what he saw and maybe come to terms with it. He was clearly very shaken by everything. Then I read the comments under the video and lost some faith in humanity.
