    Tbf, I think the original person you were talking to was specifically talking about violence to the tank man, but I’m not going to move the goalposts here, since idk what they meant.

    I wasn’t exactly sure what exactly you meant.

    Thanks! This is the first time I’ve seen that particular picture, captioned that way. I’d definitely heard of trucks hitting people during the events, and I definitely believed people got hit by tanks, but normally it is described in a ludicrous fashion of ‘hundreds of people mowed down and crushed to paste in the streets’. This particular image is perfectly believable, and fits with both Chinese government and other witnesses description of the events.
