France's use of tear gas and rubber bullets went up 200% in 2018.
Personally, it reminds me of France (Yellow Vests). Although come to think of it, the Yellow Vests protests are MUCH worse (so far?)

China is the most brutal country on earth. The govt kills millions of people. A horrible place.
Well atleast the chinees arent so blood thirsty as the americans.. Americans kill millions world wide....
excuse me... 1 killing your OWN PEOPLE is far worse than when it happens in a (justified or not) war.
2 i seriously don't think america can top chinas kill count even when we only take those killed by Mau thats 100 million give or take.
also i thought communism was meant to empower the people, oh wait i was wrong, empower the people the leader personally likes.

You don't get a nice play on words then
Surrounded by people with cameras taking photos that put the HK police in a bad light. The Police AREN'T chasing the press away. 1/
If this really was unjustified rounding up of innocent civilians, then you'd think the press would have been targeted. But we don't see that
HernanKowalsky
or they do not care about the press since they'd rather have the fear of their countrymen.
that's because they wont do that in HK, yet, it's too connected internationally, however wind it back 20 years and go to beijing

Something wrong with the world today, I don't know what it is. Maybe fascism on the rise.
No really. Take a look around. The more the people realize they are being gamed by large national & international corporations, the more -
we see this rise of fascist candidates with very interesting financial backings.
Jonesssssss
We dealt with authoritarian religious bodies, fought wars against authoritarian governments, now meet authoritarian economic powers.
Financially backed by giant corporations afraid of losing power and by Putin's govt. Like that Austrian politician, who was all too eager -
to accept what he believed to be Russian help with his campaign. Specifically, Heinz-Christian Strache of the Austrian 'Freedom Party.'

Considering the situation on Hong Kong right now, it’s very likely he was just a peaceful protestor.
Well, there have been violent protestors as well.
PicassoCT
Yeah, some triads paid to work as agent provocateur by mainland china. They are not even hiding or denieing it:
RetroRicki
Yes, he was getting his ass kicked.
oumajgad
Yes, he was forgetting his self preservation instinct. It's a goddamn riot police. You see them, you go back home.
SirButcher
And this is how you lose all of your rights to your new Chinese overlords.
New? Hong Kong was Chinese territory for over 2000 years. 99 years of UK occupation and suddenly they have "new" Chinese overlords.
IMMAustin
PRC is only 70 years old, bud
It's like saying that USA didn't existed before Roosevelt. Same country, same people, same traditions, different governament.
The members of the current Chinese government wasn't alive 99 years ago. So yeah, they are new overlords.

getting a 4 man beating
genbadger
Imagine if we were unable to defend outselves in this event. Imagine American military and police ruthlessly beating people in streets
When you try to murder someone and you get shot in response, it's kind of expected
iwishiwasazula
Please. If a cop says you have a gun he can murder you in the street.Also Americans dont side with protesters at home, they cheer police on.
Mewmus
because we see that most of the "police brutality" is caused by people not heeding the instructions of police and/or resisting arrest
I mean, our cops are pretty close in "riot" situations. Remember when ferguson pd attacked journalists? Lapd, Baltimore, Chicago have
Straight up murdered and assassinated people. We are not far behind our Chinese friends.
speculaas
Like Kent State?
BigBadBillyBoy
That was because they used soldiers for police work.
or harassing possible shooting you because your skin is brown which happens everyday here.
Looks like France fo the last 6 months. No justice, only mutilated innocents livin' denial from authority and mass-medias.

Imagine your AR15 varmint rifle against an armored troop transport they'd ship in so trained killers could unload real bullets into your ass
Its not like alot of gun owners are ex military
Sure, but does the military let them keep their toys? Do ex military have nerve gas, because you bet your ass our government does.
Edit: this isnt about a black kid getting shot. It's about human rights and freedoms, complete different reason to riot in China. Jesus they
SirBrendan
A protest about a black kid getting shot is definitely about human rights and freedoms.
aren't getting arrested for shooting at police, they are arrested for being there demonstrating, a right we have here
SourPatchBitch
Imagine if we tried defending ourselves with our guns. How quickly we would be outgunned. It's like the 2nd amendment was for another era
Can't have a country with no one to rule over
ApathyBadger
Pretty sure if you shot a cop in a riot while defending yourself, you'd just be killed right there
malikcarr
Consider the following: if anywhere near the same percentage of the US population was protesting as HK's is, and an average number of them->
owned guns at the same rate as the population, that's more armed people than all LEOs in the country put together. The government can't->
That would be more armed people then the marine corps
win a fight like that, and so the situation forces a conversation instead of a crackdown.
fatbatbat
It's cute that you think # of guns and people holding them translates into an ability to wage war against the US military.
I get what you mean, but I don't think "we have more guns than you" is a good way to start political conversation
luciferousthefallen0
During desegregation, southerners killed police and soldiers at riots. in the end they still had to share their beloved water fountains.
It's like as if hundreds of years ago we realized that happens with complete control by the government and took specfic steps to stop it
primm141
Badgering the witness...upvote sustained
Evermourn9
I take it you arent black. Didnt help them much.
It’s helped them a lot. It’s not done yet, but their situation has improved in the last 200 years.
Im sure that is a comfort. They should be grateful I guess?
Grateful? I don’t know. It’s any person’s duty to help and the work continues. Obviously, we’re not done.
Not sure the 2nd amendment really considered drive by's, drug deals, or actively taking a cops pistol, but maybe its covered?
imanatheistdebateme
It takes time for equity to prevail. Last I checked, black people presently enjoy the second amendment and the right to self defense too.
badgerthewitness
There’s a great quote by Dr King about wanting to cash the check written by the founding fathers. He wanted those rights for everyone.
They’re good rights. They just weren’t applied to everyone.

I mean, our cops are pretty close in "riot" situations. Remember when ferguson pd attacked journalists? Lapd, Baltimore, Chicago have
Lauracroftandnathandrakeareapowercouple
Straight up murdered and assassinated people. We are not far behind our Chinese friends.
speculaas
Like Kent State?
BigBadBillyBoy
That was because they used soldiers for police work.
Fauxcused
or harassing possible shooting you because your skin is brown which happens everyday here.
KNEELOASD
Looks like France fo the last 6 months. No justice, only mutilated innocents livin' denial from authority and mass-medias.
leadfoot323
Okay, I'm there. Now what?
Petterwass
Yes... IMagine.
Petterwass
Oh wait, we don't have to imagine, it actually happens. A lot.

Been there, done that
Jaco365
Imagine your AR15 varmint rifle against an armored troop transport they'd ship in so trained killers could unload real bullets into your ass
schocker28
Its not like alot of gun owners are ex military
Jaco365
Sure, but does the military let them keep their toys? Do ex military have nerve gas, because you bet your ass our government does.

Edit: this isnt about a black kid getting shot. It's about human rights and freedoms, complete different reason to riot in China. Jesus they
SirBrendan
A protest about a black kid getting shot is definitely about human rights and freedoms.
genbadger
aren't getting arrested for shooting at police, they are arrested for being there demonstrating, a right we have here
SourPatchBitch
Imagine if we tried defending ourselves with our guns. How quickly we would be outgunned. It's like the 2nd amendment was for another era
schocker28
Can't have a country with no one to rule over
ApathyBadger
Pretty sure if you shot a cop in a riot while defending yourself, you'd just be killed right there

Consider the following: if anywhere near the same percentage of the US population was protesting as HK's is, and an average number of them->
malikcarr
owned guns at the same rate as the population, that's more armed people than all LEOs in the country put together. The government can't->
schocker28
That would be more armed people then the marine corps
malikcarr
win a fight like that, and so the situation forces a conversation instead of a crackdown.
fatbatbat
It's cute that you think # of guns and people holding them translates into an ability to wage war against the US military.
ApathyBadger
I get what you mean, but I don't think "we have more guns than you" is a good way to start political conversation
luciferousthefallen0
During desegregation, southerners killed police and soldiers at riots. in the end they still had to share their beloved water fountains.
genbadger
It's like as if hundreds of years ago we realized that happens with complete control by the government and took specfic steps to stop it

Badgering the witness...upvote sustained
Evermourn9
I take it you arent black. Didnt help them much.
BigBadBillyBoy
It’s helped them a lot. It’s not done yet, but their situation has improved in the last 200 years.
Evermourn9
Im sure that is a comfort. They should be grateful I guess?
BigBadBillyBoy
Grateful? I don’t know. It’s any person’s duty to help and the work continues. Obviously, we’re not done.
primm141
Not sure the 2nd amendment really considered drive by's, drug deals, or actively taking a cops pistol, but maybe its covered?
imanatheistdebateme
It takes time for equity to prevail. Last I checked, black people presently enjoy the second amendment and the right to self defense too.
badgerthewitness
There’s a great quote by Dr King about wanting to cash the check written by the founding fathers. He wanted those rights for everyone.
badgerthewitness
They’re good rights. They just weren’t applied to everyone.
