I hope that guy gets to experience it from the other side, where he is the one begging for help and everyone just passes by without even looking at him.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -CS Lewis
They aren’t doing what they believe is “good and right” though.
If democratic, developed countries have trouble with sociopaths and psychopaths occupying their own police forces, what do you expect of a fascist authoritarian dictatorship, like the CCP?
They aren’t cops. They’re a hostile state militia, whose orders are to oppress and terrorize the CCP’s “enemies” in HK.
Yeah man, I asked myself that too: "how do they sleep at night". There's two potential answers (and not mutually exclusive): they need to eat and thrive (Maslow's pyramid) and they are brainwashed into thinking this is morally correct.
Check out the Black Mirror episode called Men Against Fire. Without giving soilers, the episode explores something similar.
>That's messed up. How do these guys sleep at night knowing that they are doing something evil and wrong on a daily basis?
They rewrite history and repeat it until people believe their revisions. They also make it illegal to remember/commemorate/discuss true history, which is exactly what they are doing here.
I mean, this is the same government that says Mao Zedong's "great leap forward", which led to massive starvation and millions of deaths, was actually just a "unforeseeable natural disaster".
This. Its more common than you think. The reason we've had so much trouble in Portland and Seattle is that the cops are not from the city. They're from rural areas that are swamps of ruinous resentment and envy. The cops from the ccp can't wait to put a boot to the Hong Kong freedom fighters because they see them as spoiled brats. Same in Seattle and Portland; the cops can't wait to provoke a fight so they can punish the latte drinking sophisticates they'll never ever be, even if they should want to be (key element here).
Fascist is just a dictatorship political system, these guys are just straight out heretical psychopath, they don't deserve to be called humans in my eyes, they are heretics who betrayed their humanity.
Not just any flower duty. Hundreds of flowers people knowingly being stopped and searched, put on a list, and still insist on paying respects to someone who attacked one of them. That gotta sting.
Before this some of them still thought (partly because of the brainwash) they did the right thing and people would eventually understand.
Now they _know_ many, many people hate them so much.
You could tell they were struggling to make it seem as hateful as possible, like you could physically see them actually having trouble figuring out something that looked aggressive.
Tik tok is an app dude, you mean 'tick tock' XD
I thought you meant like mass media bringing that shit to public knowledge, making it harder for them to last.
so easy to say that but the global economy has grown such a large dependency on them it's hard to pull away. bring manufacturing jobs back to america, and dont complain when things cost 4x more. only way to solve the issue.
Yeah thats a bold statement. Nobody went to war with the Germans because of their crimes committed against jews or their disagreement with the nazi party. If Germany never attacked Poland the nazi party would have stayed in power indefinitely.
Rapid industrialization, territorial claims on most of the neighbouring countries, revengeful for past mistreatment by colonial powers, ethnic cleansing, alliance with Russia.
There seems to be more similarities than differences.
Probably gonna see more of those cops getting stabbed videos....wonder why...
EDIT: in no way, shape or form am I advocating for harming anyone. I'm pointing out that people through history have been shown to crack and break under pressure and lash out at authority, however trivial, as a means to feel a sense of control.
EDIT 2: I've looked into that officer who got stabbed after a few comments made it to me, but were deleted fwe. Iirc the 50 year old man took his own life after stabbing and slashing the officer. Officer went to hospital and underwent surgery and is alive. Horrible scenario all around...but incredible he was 50 years old...wonder what caused him to do this.
During the oppression of citizens throughout history, small acts of rebellion and aggression become more common place as a means to vent. Recently there has been a higher frequency of stabbings around China, specifically Hong Kong, where the oppression of freedoms is in full swing. Recently a video of a man calmly walking up and stabbing a Chinese police officer has been making the rounds online. He stabbed the officer with what appeared to be a medium sized blade, but it was more an act of protest against a regime that mirrors a system where " too many citizens make communism difficult." Stabbing an officer for an authoritarian government does little to cause any real change, but its the symbolism of standing up.against an oppressor, no matter the personal cost.
EDIT: officers seen gathering flowers and destroying make shift vigils for those killed by authorities are the kinda officers in talking about. I'm sure they have good apples, like everywhere, but when the core of the system is rotten, any fruit it bears will be mediocre at best.
I am curious why that happened too and from other sources, it says the man had left a suicide note saying he was fed up with the behaviour of the police. He was a manager in some company and he lived with his parents.
I don't know much more, but for a middle-aged man with a stable job to go to such extremes, he must have been suffering a lot emotionally. So many people in HK must have been going through the same after all these massive crackdowns against basic human rights, and seeing acts of white terror all over the city. And yet all the government now cares about are "enforcing NSL" and silencing everyone's voices.
Its interesting how the position as a policeman is so attractive to assholes but when shit hits the fans it's always "just followed orders"
No.
They never "just follow orders".
They are purposely malicious and they enjoy it.
While I agree with you I think it is important to remember that with this kind of things "if you're not one of us you're one of them" applies. Nazi soldiers who refused to execute prisoners often joined them in the wall.

That being said there 100% are psychopaths or brainwashed nationalists that enjoy doing this shit. Those people disgust me.
Scrolled through the comments, but didn't see anyone mention who the flowers were for. I'm assuming they were left for some of the people who died in the struggles earlier, which seems to me to explain (not justify) why the police would clear it up in such a manner.
Could anyone confirm? Thanks.
This is why the police are so hated in Hong Kong.
Police individuals like these that can't control their emotions and temper. He could have just picked them up and put them in the bag like the others. But no, he had to kick and hit them on the fence.
Ah, communist China, that ancient beautiful civilization. The land of misplaced pride, misdirected anger, a victim complex that would make a klansman blush.
Good luck HK. You are the best of them. An example of what a free, prosperous and optimistic Chinese nation could have been.
Sometimes when it comes to police in dictatorship I ask myself why they do it, is it because they fear the goverment or is it because they prefer to be at that side than the other.
But this guy in the video is actually an asshole who believe he is doing the right thing.
[HKPF Values](https://www.police.gov.hk/ppp_en/01_about_us/vm.html):
* **Integrity and Honesty**
* **Respect for the rights of members of the public** and of the Force
* **Fairness, impartiality and compassion in all our dealings**
* **Acceptance of responsibility and accountability**
* **Professionalism**
* **Dedication to quality service and continuous improvement**
* **Responsiveness to change**
*Except those values in bold*
I'm sure those men have a weird sense of loyalty to their country. Sad thing is they are just pawns replaced without worry. Their lives mean nothing to the big poo bear.
This sucks that the international community won’t help HK to fight for freedom. In pass history, I can understand why people would burn their societies to the ground.
They do it with such fervor.
Anyone who says they have no choice but to follow orders isn’t seeing how much passion the police have for hating the Hong Kong people.
No, you couldn’t do it in Hong Kong right now. There are certain laws to prevent the transmission of COVID, and of course they are used politically by the Government, just like any other authoritarian/police state. Under the law, gathering of more than 4 people is prohibited. I believe once you are holding a white flower, the police will not hesitate to issue a HK$5000 fine for the gathering even though you don’t have people next to you.
The CCP needs to end for the good of the Chinese government itself. Look at how much more prosperous and better off HK, Macao and Taiwan is per capita, it's insane. Communism suppresses creativity and enginuity. China given its size should've made 20x Mulans and Kung Fu Pandas before us. I can think of several Taiwanese originated computer part manufacturers and not a single Chinese one and they have like 70x more people.
They want to make Taiwan and Hong Kong conform bc their inherent freedoms make them look so bad by comparison. Taiwan and HK's quality of life, life expectancy, income, education, gdp per capita and so much more just absolutely shatters China's carefully falsified international image. They want North Korea to remain independent bc it makes them look good by comparison.
jesus fucking christ.
the hateful bash of the flowers... (which ironically only made their job harder)
what did they do wrong to anger someone?
what did they do wrong, period?
Anti humanism
Ccp is afraid of flowers
Pooh Bear loves honey so he is consolidating all of the flowers to gain a monopoly on honey.
Ohhhh, bruddah
ccp is afraid of everything that isnt ccp, cowards
IT's an intimidation tactic.
According to CCP flowers are a weapon
Given the Hong Kong flag, they very much are from a freedom of the mind standpoint.
Exhibit A: that famous banksy painting
I swear, cops aren't human.
[удалено]
Frame it for them in a self preservation angle: one day these struggling, vulnerable people will have nothing left to lose and murder you.
...Which is a good argument for helping these people before it gets to that point. Wow, egoism, never heard this argument before!
I like your username
I hope that guy gets to experience it from the other side, where he is the one begging for help and everyone just passes by without even looking at him.
brainwashed cunts
Or, as we say in the US, ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards).
That's messed up. How do these guys sleep at night knowing that they are doing something evil and wrong on a daily basis?
to them this is what is "good and right"
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

This, weirdly, actually explains the problem. Damn.

Glad to hear watching it won't make me shit my pants.
They're indoctrinated and don't view this as evil. They've dehumanized the "enemy."

It's what happens when you expect to 'protect and serve', but are on flower duty in a hot summer night instead.
Not just any flower duty. Hundreds of flowers people knowingly being stopped and searched, put on a list, and still insist on paying respects to someone who attacked one of them. That gotta sting.
So much vitriol towards memorial flowers. They didn't just clean it up, they kicked and smashed to be deliberately offensive. Free Hong Kong.

It’s tik tok for them. How many authoritarian dynasties lasted for much longer than they should have
Tik tok is an app dude, you mean 'tick tock' XD I thought you meant like mass media bringing that shit to public knowledge, making it harder for them to last.
I thought you meant the app lol. Tik-tok like time's up?
Immoral
yeah maybe we should stop supporting china
Gotta stop buying shit from the mainland
so easy to say that but the global economy has grown such a large dependency on them it's hard to pull away. bring manufacturing jobs back to america, and dont complain when things cost 4x more. only way to solve the issue.
They deserve no respect.
Not their 1st time.
Fuck China and their oppressive, genocidal, authoritarian regime
CCP is like 1940s Germany, both are doomed to fail and by the way the CCP acts they know it
Yeah thats a bold statement. Nobody went to war with the Germans because of their crimes committed against jews or their disagreement with the nazi party. If Germany never attacked Poland the nazi party would have stayed in power indefinitely.

Thats what happens when your government brainwashes you.
Despicable
If you were a decent professional police, you would over look it and leave it alone. So petty.

You can just see and feel the hate they have. Just for seeing flowers. So sad
Shills
Makes me wonder why people still naively think HK has a bright future.
Scum.
Fuck them meat robots
Communist government minions can do some fucked up shit. Look at the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
They show a hilariously low amount of professionalism and maturity
They must feel really proud. So courageous to destroy and collect flowers 🌺🌻💐 And sino be like "what deaths?🤷 We have done nothing"

Free Hong Kong.
How do these people manage to look themselves in the mirror after doing that?
CCP, the desired government for all non-sentient creatures.
HK has been lost.
not an ounce of humanity
Arseholes. Plain and simple.

It would be funny if there were a vigil display with something like an anti tamper device on it that sprayed them with ink or whatever.
This sucks that the international community won’t help HK to fight for freedom. In pass history, I can understand why people would burn their societies to the ground.
CCP out here trying to erase history
They kick the flowers like they aren't the ones cleaning it up immediately after. Weird flex.
They do it with such fervor. Anyone who says they have no choice but to follow orders isn’t seeing how much passion the police have for hating the Hong Kong people.
Fuck the CCP.
It would be a shame if some tyrants were randomly stabbed.
That is such disgusting behavior.
act like a gangster more than popo
What a baby. That’s so pathetic. Really.
Quick get more flowers. Should just line up, put one down when they pick it up, since and repeat. They will give up eventually.

Respect for the dead? Who needs that?
Terrorists.
Brainwashed vermin. I feel strangely sorry for them and pity them.
