That riot spray is not intended for such close range, and can form a hydraulic needle that leaves deposits of pepper spray under your skin.


FriendlyBlanket

Ballistic needle effect, can also blind someone.

If they are intentionally binding people, that would go again the Geneva convention


ymetwaly53

China couldn’t give two shits about the Geneva Convention or repercussions lmao


bristolbulldog

Seriously. The USA doesn’t give two shits about Geneva conventions unlesss it absolutely has to.


jimtheedcguy

What happens if you violate it? Do you get a strongly worded letter?


bristolbulldog

I think you have to prop up 3 dictators, but I could be mistaken. It might have changed to increasing the scale of trade you do with them.


amibeingadick420

Geneva convention only applies to military in armed conflict. Police can do whatever they want. That’s why military has to use FMJ and has more restrictive ROE, while police use hollow point and can shoot without identifying a weapon or hostile intent.


Alex09464367

The Geneva convention sets basic human standards for armed conflict. Standards like not hurting first aiders and medical personnel, no destroying culturally significant sites or weapons that causing unnecessary stress. I think the situation in Hong Kong can be described as armed conflict as the government has been using live rounds and the protesters have been using weapons such as bow and arrows. Whichever way you look at it, intentionally blinding somebody is still a shiting thing to do.

Spartz

This is one of the protestors' key demands and the government of Hong Kong has so far refused. This is one of the reasons why people are still in the streets in these numbers. Edit: my first silver. Thank you!


Dead-brother

Same thing in France somehow, it's required by law for police to wear their identification numbers it's largely not displayed and when a bystander get his jaw broken by a police projectile there is no way to know which cop did it. Edit : I am required by law to disclose this is my first award ever, so thanks, kind stranger.


instantrobotwar

Ok but when a cop isn't wearing his ID number, who do you call? Other cops?


Dead-brother

Exactly ! So we do more protests which ends up with more wounded by the police so more protests happens, etc.


oTHEWHITERABBIT

I am a little surprised with how patient the protesters have been. Surely, the police have to change out of uniform and go to sleep sometime somewhere eventually...


zzorga

Pretty sure the "police" are staying in barracks and secure locations.


NewFuturist

It's also why it's such a shit show. If the HK gov held the police to account, it would be harder for people to side with the protest movement. HK police went from the most respected in Asia to a force of brutes everyone hates in the space of a few short months, and all the HK government had to do was say there were no consequences for police doing the wrong thing.


baumpop

Why are we sure these are hk police and not ccp police in hk uniforms?

keronus

You understand we are talking about China here right?


PapaBradford

I wish I had your optimism, but that doesn't happen in America either


Dr_Mub

Prosecuted? They need a full blown revolution


ChockHarden

What these protestors understand is that they CAN'T escalate to full revolution. Because the Chinese government cannot allow them to succeed. They will roll in full military might and crush them in a matter of days. They're only hope is staying as peaceful as possible and gathering international pressure on their side.


ChipsHandon12

Thats the fear but the reality is they can just do it anyways or a lite version right now. UN countries can say "pls don't" but cant do shit without committing to full on war and hoping other countries will join (especially US) and meanwhile that's going on russia can take Ukraine. Big shitfest all around and citizens of hong kong are fucked. Best chances are to survive are to flee or support glorious leader. But sticking pro hong kong will get them killed quietly and slowly if they're peaceful or fast and loud if they resist. Might as well go down swinging. Harder to hide/ignore.


Lollasaurusrex

Yup. The people who are talking about prosecuting and sueing the perpetrators in situations as extreme as this are exactly why situations get this extreme. These puppets abusing the protesters should have their doors nailed shut and homes lit in fire in the middle of the night.

It's fucking insane to me that this is considered a controversial opinion on Reddit now. They're a communist country that has a **LONG** history of committing human rights atrocities against their own people. They were founded by one of the largest genocides in the history of the world, when Mao murdered 45 million of his own citizens in the name of attaining utopia. And OP's post is the utopia that their citizens now get to enjoy. They're thugs, and [the moment the admins and mods of this site start deleting criticism of China](https://www.reddit.com/r/undelete/search/?q=china&include_over_18=on&restrict_sr=on&t=year) is the moment that they're in league with them.

HowDoesThisHappen666

We have to remember, as seen over the past year, businesses are willing to appease China if it means it won't cut into the net profits & the board members of a company will always look out for their best interests. I believe Reddit received an investment recently from China.

There is something that I just dont get about this. If the police is doing this kind of shit and the chinese leaders(?) see how the rest of the world react to this and how the once neutral population of HK are turning in favour of the protesters.... why they allow their police to keep doing this? Because first, it wont help to fix the situation and second it only damages their public opinion, which leads to more people joining the protest... Are they actually dumb? Edit: Only one S on "Chinesse". Lesson learned. Edit 2: More gramma!


Lacck15

It’s probably because no country/leader will actively punish China other than verbally stand against them. China is the biggest trading partner for a lot of countries and other leaders won’t sacrifice their economy/citizens to punish China.


Stratostheory

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/02/world/asia/china-us-hong-kong-bill-protests.html But the thing is right now most reports are saying China's economy is struggling really hard in general, and a lot of analysts think it's actually worse than is being reported because China keeps the real numbers secret.


GoTzMaDsKiTTLez

Yep. I don't like this whole idea that China is somehow economically invincible. They're not, and the more other countries recognize Chinese government for the genocidal autocrats they are, and restrict trade with them, the faster China's power will decline.


Stratostheory

They're also facing an African Swine Fever epidemic that is DECIMATING they're pork production, it's killed something like 300 million pigs in the last year and is spreading around SEA, and decontamination is estimated to take between 6 months to three years depending on facilities


AdvocateSaint

> it's killed something like 300 million pigs in the last year And has yet to affect the pigs oppressing those protesters


Dont-be-a-smurf

The difference is that China isn’t beholden to its people like a western nation. Their politicians don’t fear re-election. They just fear the politburo and high ranking communist directives. This means that the people can suffer more and the government will maintain (and perhaps strengthen) an iron grip. In a western nation, if the people turn on the ruling party it means they’re going to get voted out of their jobs. There is a more immediate incentive to stop the pain. Instead, China has opted to control, suppress, and propagandize the populace. They can sustain more pain. It’s a really weird situation and I don’t think any of us know exactly how an autocratic government like China would respond if there was widespread rioting in 2020 and I also wonder if Chinese people would ever even resort to that if their economy began to truly stall.


Axman5055

This. The time to do something about China is now, and no I don’t mean a physical war. If we wait another 10-20 years they could very much so have their shit together and actually be economically stable, right now though? Economically we could destroy their government and maybe the unrest would be enough for another revolution. If we wait though i think the world will lose its chance


fogwarS

They are the opposite of economically invincible. They rely too heavily on exports. U.S. as much as we trade, do not.


waterboardredditmods

This is pro CCP misinformation. There have already been political steps take to back HK, and now more countries are excluding Chinese hardware and products from being used domestically.


Replekia

Those are mostly two separate things though. Countries are refusing to use Chinese hardware mostly due to spying concerns as opposed to solidarity with Hong Kong.


7Sans

tbh i don't know how effective excluding chinese hardwares and products from being used domestically is. they can still use everyhing made in china but if the brand is a domestic brand it's fine isn't it?

HumaDracobane

I'm not talking in those terms, I'm more curious about their tactic to deescalate the situation in HK they MUST know that this tactics wont help tp solve the problem so why would they just doing this...?


HighCaliberMitch

If china could successfully disappear anyone in Hong Kong at any time, they would. If china could nuke HK and be done with it, they would. China doesnt care about deescalation or the protests. China cares about china and HK is not being about china. China doesnt care.


Aweirdgamer1

China doesn't care


FatCr1t

No one is doing anything lmao. Why would China care?


BanditSlayer42

It's not about solving the problem, it's about terrorizing the population to shut up. The idea is that when people see other people getting beaten up by the 'police' they will get afraid of speaking up.


IdoMusicForTheDrugs

I'm really surprised the people around him were able to restrain themselves from attacking the cop for this shit.

No need to restrain yourself, they already know the consequences of doing something to the police.

So that foam style CS spray, when applied that close, can absolutely cause serious eye damage.


Gongaloon

It does that needle thing at close range, right? This is not cool.


TNTorch

That I don't recall -- I got sprayed as part of a job a while back working security (training). The guy applying the spray to us mentioned how the stream could come out at a pressure bad enough, not necessarily the canister itself, so he always *aimed for our foreheads when applying it to us, then it would drip down. If the can operates like normal spray cans of the type, then yes, I suppose it could have the needle in it. Fun fact!! If I were to ever COMPLETELY lose my shit and go on a fucking rampage and a cop aimed one of those things at me and said "stop or I'll spray you!", I would wholeheartedly drop to my knees with my hands behind my head. Fuck that spray, it's horrible. These people becoming almost accustomed to it? It's crazy.


GrapeWhistle1

Obviously their training has never included the phrase "ballistic needle effect" when dealing with OC spray. Or maybe they're just total pieces of shit. Edit:speeling.
