Protester shot in chest by live police round during Hong Kong protests

Ah yes, if Chinese police did it, its barbaric. US cops do far worse on a daily basis and are worshiped as heroes and literally get away with murder without so much as a charge.

This is a topic of fierce controversy in america, where police shootings often result in protests

This is an example of the same disconnect you describe in the comment

I expect this cop won't be meaningfully punished either
