whoops no this is UC Davis in 2011. the cop pepper spraying these nonviolent student protestors filed for worker's compensation claiming "psychiatric damage" due to having his name released and won more than $38k USD in compensation.

Please be careful about posting this where Americans can see. The regime will lower their credit score and they'll be barred from buying a house.

In communist China you can't buy a house because you give up 80% of your paycheck to pay your billionaire real estate investor's mortgage

People are buying houses?

They spent so much money trying to cover this up/bury the picture

For anyone who wasn't around, this was I think during Occupy (the social movement demanding economic reforms in the wake of the 2007 economic collapse. Obama said "lol no" and crushed it with overwhelming force". Those kids were just sitting on the sidewalk doing ineffectual nonviolence stuff. The cop just walked back and forth down the line spraying them in the face over and over. UC Davis caught a lot of flack for basically torturing students for having the gall to ask for simple reforms but nothing really changed. Probably seems quaint given the escalation of police violence in the last decade.

Not to mention the cops on roofs with sniper rifles aimed at Occupy leaders

We really just need a standard All-In-One response to 10,000 dead tanks washed down canals with bodies pro-democracy whatever the fuck.

Just something with all the relevant sources, refuting all the bullshit, and nothing gets posted but that. we're wasting so much time responding to this bullshit every single day, to people who believe in an unfalsifiable fairy tale based not on history but a religious conviction that china-bad and anything that counteracts that must be a deception regardless of source or content.
