Hong Kong Protests: The First Shot
A protester is about to be shot by a member of the Police Tactical Unit (PTU) of the Hong Kong Police Force during the 2019-20 Hong Kong protests.
This incident occurred on october the 1st, 2019 when protestors and the police were clashing together which resulted that the police officer opened fire on the protestor who attacked him with a pvc pipe managing to hit the officer in the arm before the protester was shot in the shoulder but survived.
While many tried to question the justification of the shooting, including doctor, lawyers, politicians, his fellow students and peers and many civil groups. The police justified this action by pointing out that it was self-defense. As the officers were attacked by the protesters with petrol bombs and other weapons. Which was rejected by those said groups. Some of which called it ‘’an attempted murder’’ by the police.
This event resulted into a massive backlash among the pro-democracy camp and elements of the general population. While this is the first time during the protests when someone is getting shot, it was not the first time when the police opened fire, nor will this be the last.
Footage of the aftermath was circulating on the internet with many netizens pointing out that the police tried to tamper with evidence by replacing the pipe with an hard rod.
While opinions of this event and the overall protests are divided among the people both inside and outside of Hong Kong, we shouldn’t forget that the first casualty of war is always the truth and that in the end the normal citizens are the ones who will be the most affected by this ballgame. The question if these actions of the HKPF is justified is up to you to decide whenever the Police handled this situation rightfully or that they overextended their power. Same goes for the actions of some of the protesters if they can be considered to be justified or not. We are living in a society where the world is not all that black and white anymore and we do sometimes forget that in the end, we all fight what we claim we fight for.
This also appears in an stop-motion animation I made that was uploaded on my second channel. The link can be found below:
