When we are judging individuals, it's important to judge with individual circumstances.
Was THIS protestor being violent? Was THIS police officer justified in firing?
In this case, there is one video that isn't getting much viewership which very clearly shows the protestor who was shot, chasing down and beating a police officer on the ground. The officer that fired was coming to the rescue when the protestor attacked him with a pipe and was shot.
Here is that video from BBC Chinese: https://twitter.com/bbcchinese/status/1179082367337713666 https://twitter.com/bbcchinese/status/1179082367337713666
- spacehunt 7y agoThe video shows that the police officer had his handgun drawn before he was hit with the pipe. Furthermore, the same officer was actually carrying a rubber bullet gun on him at the time. Why didn't he deploy rubber bullets at a distance, but instead charged in with his handgun drawn?
- loco5niner 7y agoThis reminds me of the question: "well, can't the officer just shoot the gun out of his hand or something?"
