The point was the story we're all told about tanks squishing thousands of protesters because those commies just hate freedom is entirely orthogonal to actual events. And no, describing police driving around murdering people either mostly at random or entirely at random is not trying to make you feel sorry for the police. I get the sense that you aren't talking to me, but this weird idea of what a tankie is that only exists in your head.
The images aren't easy to look at, but theres bodies that were shot by the cops while riding their bicycles, but no piles of gore mixed with crushed bicycle.
Thousands dead, some squished by tanks. Actually happened.
Reread what you wrote. It sounds like the police are being attacked.
There are dead bodies under crushed bicycles. Sorry there wasn't enough blood for you.
They were attacked, there's pictures of their corpses. Other police responded with indiscriminate murder. I am not making any kind of value judgements, acab and all, just describing events as reported by witnesses and corroborated by the images
Point to the image that shows protesters crushed under bicycles you say exists.
You may not have meant to, but you only wrote about police deaths.

Those are not consistent with a tank running people over until they're paste. They are consistent with cops indiscriminately firing on a group of bicyclists.
Something heavy destroyed those bicycles. With tracks.
This is what bikes look like after a tank runs them over.
