I noticed the silence in the media over this one was pretty widespread. They were clearly informed to never allow any commentators or guests to never mention this issue, or cut them off immediately if they did.
Most of the time, the conscripted men are not going down without a fight, some choosing to scream and hold onto their possessions or their families.
Some paraphrasing, with apologies to Solzhenitsyn:
"And how we burned in the trenches later, thinking: What would things have been like if every conscription officer, when he went out to abduct a new unwilling puppet, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass conscription, when they called up a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there on the sidelines, filming with their phones, but had understood they had nothing left to lose, and had boldly confronted the thugs with half a dozen people with bicycle locks, stones, or whatever else was at hand? The regime would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Zelensky's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If... if... We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."
tl;dr - Ukrainians should use larger numbers to KILL anyone attempting to force unwilling citizens into military service.

They targeted men with children first.
