Your version is suspicious lacking student deaths. It is inconsistent with these NSFL photos.

    Student deaths are included in the protestor deaths.

    The brief summery is entirely consistent with those images, every image of casualties we can see are in the surrounding streets and not the square, there is no images of tanks and streets covered in gore, and the number of corpses we see are in the dozens, not tens of thousands, which is more consistent with the claims of 1-300 dead.

    You didn’t talk about protester or student deaths. You only focused on the poor poor soldiers.

    Dont be pedantic. The protests focal point was the square. Protesters being murdered in nearly streets don't need a separately named massacre.

    there is no images of tanks and streets covered in gore

    There are dead bodies mangled with crushed bicycles. And the photos are of streets covered in gore.

    the number of corpses we see are in the dozens

    So the only proof you will only accept is photo of every death? Fuck off you Sealion.

    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.

    There are dead bodies mangled with crushed bicycles

    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.

    describing police driving around murdering people

    Reread what you wrote. It sounds like the police are being attacked.

    no piles of gore mixed with crushed bicycle.

    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

    There are dead bodies under crushed bicycles. Sorry there wasn’t enough blood for you.

    Point to the image that shows protesters crushed under bicycles you say exists.

    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.

    You haven't offered any proof for thousands being dead though.

    Chinese Red Cross, the Swiss Ambassador and former student protest leader Feng Congde all say around 2500.

    I love unsourced assertions.

    Also, what kind of fucking source is the Swiss Ambassador or Feng Congde? How would they have any idea?

    Buddy, do you think that we’re somehow unaware of the fucking Wikipedia page? We’ve investigated it to death. And posting Wikipedia is not evidence; it’s not a source.
