Photos are freely available, yes, and they back up what I claimed, not what you're vaguely hinting at. Westerners have used them to try to twist the narrative, distorting the context of the photos to concoct atrocity propaganda.
It's easy to claim something vague happened, but not provide any evidence, and complain about misinformation being removed as a way to claim truth is removed. If you don't do any legwork to prove that, though, your argument is utterly unconvincing.
Essentially, you want to uphold your own view, without proving any of it and without daring to look at counter-evidence. I recommend reading Qiao Collective's Tian'anmen Protests Reading List for a good place to start.
Pictures of the dead do not back up what you claim.
They do, actually. I've seen them, pretty much every communist that's had to research June 4th, 1989 has had to.
