So what proportion of these protesters are violent? Do we have a number or have you fallen victim to the media bias that you blame for much of the public response?

I agree with you. I too believe that over emphasize the violence, as well as making out the issue to be more than it really is not a good thing. It's not in China's interest to over-react.

He was hitting the police officer on the arm with a baton. I've no doubt that the officer reacted in self-preservation but it's not as if the media or other violent-prone protesters would care.
We care; you don't. You clearly thought it was an overreaction to shoot someone attacking a police officer.

How do you know that? Was there an Ipsos poll among HK protesters or folks within the lower mainland? Or is this another "I saw a pro-Chinese post on social media" kind of thing?
It's that I've never seen a Chinese person from the Mainland support this kind of thing and every news outlet in China is enraged at them. But you know, that doesn't count. I'll read the US media to get a gauge on how Chinese people feel too scared to speak up, right? Maybe I'm also too scared and I don't know myself as well as Western media knows me! I should start reading about how I feel in Western media, right? LOL

Because this worked greatly during the anti-Qing demonstrations and even so far back as the French Revolution, right? What happened to the Qings and the ancien régime?
Because this worked in Tiananmen, in the American revolution, etc... Every time the government can kill those disloyal to it, the country is united. It's mathematical and logical. If there is a population of red dots against a population of blue dots, and all the blue dots are eliminated, all there is left is red. It's not refutable.

Again with the CIA and foreign-backed-revolution theories?
Again and again until the end of time because we actually have pictures of them meeting. Again with your denial of the facts in the face of evidence?

Let's not turn this into another case of whataboutism. Police officers are trained to deal with threats in an effective but measured manner. There are multiple ways to deal with these attacks, as I'm sure the HKPF has gleaned over the course of the protests, without dealing actual lethal harm. What happened to using rubber bullets or tear gas? How well do you think that the HKPF's rationale with go over with the rest of the protesters who are now learning that one of their own has been shot?
The rational is if you try to kill us, we will kill you. So don't try to kill us. It's really simple and effective; it's how the police operate the world over. Rubber bullets and tear gas is for unarmed unruly people; not for people assaulting the police with deadly weapons. Can they be dealt with non-lethally? Yes, but they don't deserve it. If they try to kill someone, try to set them on fire, they deserve to be killed. The police can always deal with anyone non-lethally no matter how heinous the crime, but when it's clear that he doesn't deserve it, they don't bother to give him the non-lethal treatment.

I don't think anyone here justifies attacks on law enforcement. The entire apparatus of the state is to carry out the wishes of the populace, and through force if required, and frankly this doesn't apply to HK's situation in any shape or form.
The populace is China, not the small city of Hong Kong. You cannot have a renegade Manhattan that respects no US federal laws and you cannot have that in Hong Kong. They will respect the will of the Chinese people because they are a part of it and if they don't, they will be made to or die in the process.
So what proportion of these protesters are violent? Do we have a number or have you fallen victim to the media bias that you blame for much of the public response?
I dunno. You're making the claim that it's "mostly" peaceful. You give me the numbers. If you can't, then maybe we can't assume it's mostly peaceful, huh?

I have first person sources; I'm actually trying to figure out what's going on. It is you who has completely eaten the Western media bias hook line and sinker, believing that anybody can do anything without repercussion in the name of democracy.

These protestors stalked a policeman to attack. That doesn't happen in the US. You can have a disturbed individual go after police but a mob? These protestors hate the police because they think just like any despot where the police are suppose to be their army protecting what they want. So if they're destroying property and attacking people, the police are suppose to be protecting them doing that. Those aren't people who have a basic understanding of what democracy and human rights is all about.

You know, before we miss the forest for the trees, let's just recount the last couple of pages of posts.

A rioter gets shot once by police, as he was actively attacking a police officer's gun wielding hand with a metal baton, along with a bunch of other baton rioters actively surrounding and attacking police including one police who is on the ground.

Yet some posters have the gall to say "well there are also peaceful protesters as part of the movement as well!".



.....

Yes, I'm sure there were quite a number of people in Hong Kong who weren't actively going out into the streets to ambush and mob police with metal batons and attack them. I'm sure the majority of Hong Kong's population are peaceful, and I imagine the majority of the world's population are peaceful as well.
But that is relevant exactly.... how?

It isn't relevant. Not unless the purpose is to misdirect the focus away from the events which led to the shooting, which by any reasonable perspective when taking the event in its entirety would be considered a more than justified action on behalf of the police.

Kid, you are truly delusional to think mainlanders want a revolution. You will hard press to find supporters to your hooligans even among oversea mainlanders, let alone people in mainland. Read some history books kid. People only rebel when their lives are hopeless, like HKers of today. Not mainlanders

As for a middle age Cantonese mainlander like myself, i am fully aware how HKers think of us “mainlanders”. I have to go full retard before supporting your cause. You should read up the CDF threads like “democracy at work” as homework

We are not doctors and psychiatrists, China is not a doctor and psychiatrist that has the duty to fix Hong Kong's problems. That's their own problem. China's duty is to safeguard the strategic interest of the Chinese nation.

Of course China has a duty to fix Hong Kong's problems! Hong Kong is a part of China, or have you forgotten that? The interests of the Chinese nation include every inch of its territory. People who think they can gain "strategic interest" by sacrificing territory is forgetting the lessons of history, ironically the very history of Hong Kong itself!

We really need a downvote function in this forum!

Students have become the mainstay of these riots and at a much younger average age than before. They are getting desperate.
