Many Turkish people interpret these as important signs, there are many more, which, when listed in isolation sound small (e.g. ban on red lipstick for Turkish Airlines female flight attendants), but when taken together and in the context of Erdogan's no-reconciliation-no-matter-what tone are quite alarming.
As for the "police sprayed my friend yesterday", it wasn't just that, the level of brutality was amazing.

And now they are just protesting for sake of protesting (sadly with vandalism and aggression).
