I realized my post was not clear. I 100% support HK protester! I 100% condemn HK police and authorities.
Just wanted to point that despite the fact most of us live in democracy, police can act super violently against protestors, and we don't necessarily realize it before it happens. We need to support HK protestor, and also keep fighting for democracy where we live
- eznoonze 7y agoIn a democracy you have recourse when abused by the police. In a dictatorship, police is just a tool of the ruler to control the population.
- cf141q5325 7y agoIn a democracy we should have a recourse other then creating a new party and becoming the government. With a strong esprit de corps between police and the judiciary this unfortunately isnt the case in a lot of democracies.
- traderjane 7y agoIn any government you might have recourse against the police. There have been benevolent rulers through all time. In a democracy, the police are still the tool for the rich and powerful, and whether you're in Putin's democracy or the US's democracy, the police have to keep up appearances.
- skitout 7y agoIn France you officially have recourse, but there are many ways to make it ineffective most of the time... Very few policemen end up in a court, and they (quite) never goes to jail even if they had a protestor eye out. And decision makers are never bothered...
