        Now the only complaint against the police is for wetting the protesters big time. Should have brought this one much earlier. 👍😄👍

        When Tiannamen Square Protest broke out on June 4th 1989, Thousands of Chinese students were killed and wounded by Chinese PLA, they were praised heroes and patriots. 30 years later CCP still won't acknowledge the event and a whole generation of Chinese grow up knowing nothing.
