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.
