Get a Twitter video with no context and post a story based purely on conjecture and some random person’s guesstimate.

If it was true it would be incredibly stupid and lead to legit protests like we saw in the summer.
Context or no, there has been a lot of highly dangerous behaviour by the Hong Kong police. Like ramming of protesters using mini-buses and armored vehicles with zero regard of potential injuries. This would not fly in any country where there is oversight of the police force. Any officers involved would be prosecuted. Which we know the HKPF and China will never do.

Especially egregious are the times cops tried to run over the protesters that are unarmed, and retreating. Which if any military did against a civilian population would be considered a war crime under the Geneva convention.

Another one where cops are using ambulances in their arrests.

Spoiler!


So if these acts are considered crimes by a military against civilian populations in times of war, how does this make it ethically justifiable that the HKPF do this against their own population?

EDIT: fixed video quality
