      Here’s what i post whenever it comes up, its an honestly an impressive feat of western propaganda that so many have seen that single frame but not the whole video:

      Full tankman video where the tankers go to lengths to avoid harming him, he’s able to climb on the tank and then walk away with no repercussions:

      https://youtu.be/FaojdRThXbY

      Just a few examples(out of many) of US state forces running over protestors in the last couple of years:

        Kent State actually was what they pretend Tiananmen Square was, but most USians are not ready for that conversation.

      After climbing on the tank a few times, and talking with the tank commander, he was eventually lead away by some other onlookers completely unharmed.

      US cops have killed ~600 people so far this year.

        Also, if I recall correctly, the incident occurred when the tanks were leaving and he was actually upset about the riots.

      kinda goofy tbh

      Standoff, lil’ dance, mans climbs on the tank then gets off. The tankers open some hatches and there’s some sort of conversation, then some people from the (presumed, offscreen) crowd run in and move him away.

      Pretty obvious that the civilians are surprisingly unafraid of the war machines and the soldiers, and conversely the soldiers aren’t acting afraid of the crowd

      a black and white picture of a bunch of living people and broken bikes

      I’ve come to the conclusion that you must be a bicycle. I am very sorry for the trauma this picture has caused by showing your fallen comrades

          Rubber bullets most likely

          Strange how western country employ these as well as other less-lethals like LRADs, and as recent evets in Minneapolis and historically at Kent state show US forces are fine with executing protestors, yet many westerners consider China more Authoritarian than the US, despite those facts and others such as the PRC not being in a war for 45 years while the US drops on average 45 bombs a day in the present day, and that the US has over 700 foreign military bases while every other country combined has 30(china accounts for one of those)

      How the fuck you think that all the shit on the ground is dead people, without any sign of blood or debri from explosions/shooting/tanks running over shit. Is a fucking parking lot with tons of empty bicycles on the ground, even the people on top of the bicycles are not running for their life. Holy fucking shit.

      Ever wonder why you never see the high resolution/color original version of this photo?

      Because everything pointed out in the annotated version in the replies to this is immediately obvious, and because you can see the burned out bus with dead soldiers’ bodies hanging from it, which supports the Chinese narrative that soldiers were burned alive and makes the US/British narrative that the soldiers launched an unprovoked attack on a peaceful protest seem silly.

        What about it makes you think it broken?

        Still even if it was completely destroyed, its not a person that been run over by a tank which is what US imperialists insist what happened there
