@randahl don't get me wrong. What happened on Tiananmen Square is much worse than all that ever was done in the US...

But in a very dark and twisted way you can understand how soldiers shoot civilians in that situation, because leads did a lot to make it look for them like a battle situation.

Tank Man was a different situation and the solders at Least respected him as a human being. Yes at the end they carried him away... But the scene here just shows disrespect against human life.
