Yes this. Reframing the recipient of violence as a threat or an aggressor when theyve mistreated and/or attacked them is a common frame control tactic.
Additionally, manipulating events through PR and telling stories about the person harmed to others that demonize them so that others won’t believe that you harmed them or will justify any harm you’ve caused is a common tactic used to frame events and your role in them as being different then what actually happened. (I.e. demonizing and excluding women who’ve been on the receiving end of sexual misconduct from an organizations leadership and/or wealthy donors, framing oneself as “trustworthy” while not practicing transparency with many of its donors or they people they recruit, promoting “community” and “integrity”while lacking a functional accountability structure, actively enabling harmful patterns of negligence and abuse and silencing and getting rid of anyone who express criticism or dissent, ect)
