Hong Kongers online did a quick sketch on how the body could have been pushed out the window.
spoiler for size
Spoiler!


Lady who made the video of the body being thrown out the Police housing facility has apparently been arrested today. Hm... why arrest the person making the film instead of investigating the death properly.

Plainclothes cops showing up at an middle school to arrest a student that posted a photo of cops earlier in the week. It's apparently illegal now to record or take photos of police now. Hong Kong will be a police state pretty soon.

Original article with video. Includes voice where plainclothes cops arrest the student.

No the police did not show up at a middle school to arrest a student. The suspect was 23 years old, no mention of being a student. The incident happened in a shopping area food court. He was not arrested for "posting photos of cops earlier in the week." He was arrested for shining a police style 18cm maglite torch on them. While I don't agree this was a wholly appropriate response by the policemen, it's obvious you twisted the story around to make it seem more menacing and posted a non-english source since no one here can read it and further disseminate whatever disinformation you want.

Nice try, CIA shill.

Shines a flashlight at police, gets arrested, and beaten up at the station. You aren't doing much to help your case.

So in other words, cops arrest innocent person. Regardless of the spin from you or anyone else for that matter.

All I am doing is pointing out that any kind of news that comes out of HK gets filtered through and distorted by dishonest disinformation agents to paint a narrative of a situation that is extremely biased to support their own nefarious intentions. Almost zero news coming out of western news sources is unbiased and unpropagandized.

Where does it say he was beaten up at the station? You literally just made that up out of thin air.

Yeah it says "he felt unwell" so they took him to a hospital. Maybe it was a tummy ache from the anxiety of getting arrested? Maybe he started hyperventilating? Maybe he is faking a some kind of panic attack? I don't know what the reason was. Also, you think if the police beat him up, they would be stupid enough to bring him to a hospital where anyone can gather evidence of bruises and injuries and further damage the reputation of the police? Use your brain.

I mistakenly said it was as school reading that the arrest was made in a cafeteria. The original video showed police making the arrest for taking photos and after they found the torch and made the arrest for weapons.

Guy went to hospital after being beaten at the station. It's in the article from RTHK.

You make these claims, but where is any indication that you have access to impartial info? Impartial sources? Experience with this? Anything? You still have no response for your lack of credibility. You're just distracting from what are serious issues. Basically, you're trolling and being insulting to other posters in a thread dealing with subject matter that's serious and important to people's lives.

Also "police style" "18cm"

So a 7 inch metal flashlight? Basically a mortar launcher.

Anonymous Stranger's behaviour isn't all that strange. China brings the A-game for fragility.

Xi Jinping is a fool, but it’s understandable why he is. He’s one of China’s “Princelings.” The generation of sons of the first CCP leaders. It’s likely no one ever told Xi “no” until he entered global politics. He genuinely believes he simply needs to desire something in order for it to be so, and he has no ability to conceive of what to do when this doesn’t work.

The decision by the CCP to allow this aristocrat to change the constitution to keep power was idiotic.

I'm obviously no fan of Xi, but this post is a terrible mischaracterization and underestimation of him and his rise to power.

Ironic, no? You claim that I have no credibility just because I am brave enough to question the "China bad" narrative when you, yourself, have to respond to and correct an uninformed person posting grandiose claims and fabrications on a topic related to China .
