My experience with Chinese cops has been nothing but wonderful. Not the same for US ones. They peppered sprayed students during a local Palestinian protest…
The Hong Kong protests, though… I’m not saying that’s worse than American police, but I have little reason to believe they’d be much better, either. Your experience may not reflect the whole truth.
Agreed with that. Was just making the point that in my experience they have been night and day better. My biggest problem with communism is I can’t believe cops are ever not a problem.
Indeed, Chinese cops laid siege to various universities during the Hong Kong protests, which were strongholds of opposition and organization, just like American universities have also been under siege at times for the same reasons regarding their Palestine protests. Cops never change and they’ll always have the cop mindset, though I will say that American cops seem to be especially trigger-happy. From what I see, cops in most other countries are able to neutralize threats with non-lethal force most of the time. I never hear about German cops, who I believe also carry guns, shooting someone’s dog or unloading into a guy failing to follow conflicting instructions being shouted at him. I can’t claim to know much about German cops, though. Maybe someone with more knowledge could fill me in.
I was making a statement. You don’t think beating or spraying (or even killing) students over protesting is political? How many black people die a year in America by cops? You say much worse because you know the name of one event without any details.
Sorry you’re comment comes across as stereotypical American neoliberal who only knows the name TAM without any historical details

You can find videos of them attacking protestors across China. ACAB after all,

Depends.
Non-political issues: Probabaly much better than the US.
Political issues: Much worse than the US.

Mine was corruption. Nothing super serious mind you, the standard sort of extortion/bribe deal you find around the world.
Yours?
Wait until you hear what they did at a peaceful protest at Kent State.
I’m commenting based on my experience.
