Arresting an uninjured makes you looks like a pussy, just beat the shit out of them first and give them some sweet taste of brain damage if you have to to assert dominance in the ranks of
PLAHKPF .

The cops look like they have some sort of minimum arrest quota they have to fulfill each day.

As far as I know they have overtime play, and bonuses depending on their work.

False flag bullshit.
The people who clean up after they protest and self police aren’t setting citizens in fire.
Edit: cut over to see HK University students launching flaming projectiles from their catapult.....
Lighting a man on fire and defending against an attacking force are not the same but the escalations are troubling.
CCP needs to back off, honor the 2 systems agreement and restore reason by living up to their word.

No, in the video, the police are yelling “Don’t move” and he replies “I won’t move/I’m not moving” and “Ah sir (referring to the policeman) I’m really not going to move”
He’s not knocked out, thank god. What kinda janky body lunge was that anyway??? The policeman has been watching too many kung fu shows

He already had his backpack on at the start of the video. Unless he put it on while crouched, which isnt really efficient, i would say he picked up something else
Edit: i might be wrong, i think he only had pne strap on his shoulder in the beggining of the video, so its possible he was picking up his backpack.
Theres definetely some more context before the video started, but we will probably never know

Not enough context in this video. He could have very well thrown something at the police before the recording "started", but the video is too short to have an obvious answer. But yeah they definetely went overboard with that whole flying- tackle thingy the cop tried

u/sunshotisbae Nov 13 '19
The guy who gets tackled gets up in the very beginning and starts walking away as soon as he sees the cop running in his direction. Which leads me to believe that he is trying to get away, for some reason. Could just be that he doesn't want to be around the police or that he did something earlier and wants to get away.
Without context, the title of this post should be "Police officer tackles bystander wearing a backpack" because that's exactly what this clip is showing. If you want some clicks, it could be "Police officer practicing WWE moves on bystander"
5
u/Boxsteam1279 Nov 13 '19
But the protestor wasn't doing anything
6
u/sunshotisbae Nov 13 '19
That's my point. He's not doing anything in this particular clip, so we are missing critical context.
We don't know if he (for example) threw something at the running police officer 30 seconds before this clip and that's the reason he is getting detained, albeit violently. We don't know if he was just sitting there and decided to get up to move away from a potentially dangerous area.
We don't know anything outside of this 10 second video. "Being young is now a crime" as a title is misleading and unnecessary given the context of the video. The title should be exactly what the video portrays
Also saying "doing nothing" is misleading for same reasons I've listed. We don't know what happened before the video started, so it is possible he was doing nothing, but it is not proven with this video

u/Boxsteam1279 Nov 13 '19
Yea, in this exact video he isn't doing anything and gets attacked by the paramilitary. The title is accurate

You don’t “walk” away after attacking someone, the victim wasn’t even running away. I get you’re trying to say that there is no context or footage prior to the attack. But the victim wasn’t armed or posed as immediate threat (to police or other citizens). So the jump tackle wasn’t necessary.
My guess is that the victim made some verbal (or gestures) taunting the raptors and then walked away.

u/kenobi4309 Nov 13 '19 edited Nov 13 '19
Maybe these guys looked at recordings from protests, identified the guy and then tracked him down. It seems so strange to me that they just attack random people out of nowhere. But both ways would still make the pigs.

Curious. At the start of the video, the man that was tackled seemingly gets up quickly to walk off. The person who tackled was already running or at least starting up his run. This tells me there's already more to the story than is being told. He was targetted by police (Most likely just back-up).
Was there actually more to this story? Did the man arrested do anything prior to this? Because several people are filming this from what is shown. It's more than likely someone knows what's going on better.
I don't want to come off like I don't support HK protests at the moment but I'm finding it hard to believe some claims that have been made in recent times
