    Police denied that officers were ordered to “shoot to kill” when dealing with protesters. They also defended the officer who shot an 18-year-old in the chest, saying he did it “to protect his own life”. http://sc.mp/lu44g  #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/aTfW6vwhfq

        如果这次死的是一个警察,这些媒体记者马上闭嘴了。警察做了正确的行为,全世界也只有在香港会有一班脑残的人反复质疑警察,而对暴徒恶行视而不见。为了所谓的民主和自由,许多香港人都疯了。

        the boy represented a non-lethal threat, the shooting was completely unjustified

        Lying to the public is not wise when the video clearly shows the protesters had umbrellas and the clowns that work for the police had guns.

        Police shoot innocent people all the time in this day in age. It’s a problem as they will never admit it.
