I'm happy they didn't kill that one man but...

The troops advanced into central parts of Beijing on the city's major thoroughfares in the early morning hours of 4 June and engaged in bloody clashes with demonstrators attempting to block them, in which many people – demonstrators, bystanders, and soldiers – were killed. Estimates of the death toll vary from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands more wounded

Have you looked into the "demonstrators" they clashed with? If not, you may find that particularly telling. You know how the usian media acts like every protest is a bloody clash where cops are being overwhelmed and murdered? Well, this was that, for real.

I support unarmed cops, and I support "clashing" with citizens who start killing them.
