Hong Kong Protests Live Updates: Police Violence Puts Government on Defensive
Police brutality is pure shit and has to be internally investigated and transparently resolved.<p>However, I dislike the current biased image and video reporting on Hong Kong protests. I understand that this plays perfectly into the current anti-China narrative, but we should be aware that such things are never one-sided and simple.<p>There is a lot of shit going on from both sides: police and violent protesters. To make a balance to the highly inacceptable police behaviour, please also find footage speaking against violent protesters:<p>Protestors "arming up": <a href="https://i.redd.it/faobvwh4qx331.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.redd.it/faobvwh4qx331.jpg</a><p>Protestors beating up a police man: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/comments/bzza2h/peaceful_protestors_won_battle_against_police/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/comments/bzza2h/peaceful_p...</a><p>The moment when it escalated (the protestors goal was to storm the building, police was behaving in a de-escalative way by withdrawing, while being attacked by objects thrown into the police lines): <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/videos/437882587?t=03h05m00s" rel="nofollow">https://www.twitch.tv/videos/437882587?t=03h05m00s</a><p>Coverage of protestors behaving aggressively: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQfOfIAexzw&feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQfOfIAexzw&feature=youtu.be</a><p>Again, all this does NOT excuse any tit for toe police brutality attack. But I am a believer of fair and balanced reporting and I want to see both sides.
