KW:Remember Tiananmen Square? After the death of  Hu Youbang who had been the Chinese Communist Party  (CCP) general secretary since 1980 and who had encouraged democratic reforms, in January 1987 he was forced to resign his post. On the day of his funeral (April 22 1989) and having reached some form of martyrdom, tens of thousands of students gathered in Tiananmen Square demanding democratic and other reforms in China. For the next several weeks, students in crowds of varying sizes—eventually joined by a wide variety of individuals seeking political, social, and economic reforms—gathered in the square.

And then protest were crushed by the CCP with the graphic image of a lone protester standing in front of the advancing tanks.

Now this: Baton Rouge, USA, 11 July 2016.  A lone unarmed woman stands before the police cauldron protesting the murder by U.S. police of blacks, averaging now 3/day…every day, every month, every year. The police state of United States of America is no different to the police state of China way back then in 1989.

The image that drew the most comment, taken by Jonathan Bachman for Reuters, showed a young woman in a dress standing serenely on a road outside the Baton Rouge Police headquarters as two Louisiana State Police officers dressed for battle rushed to arrest her. The woman was later identified as Ieshia Evans, a nurse and mother from Brooklyn, who had come to protest the killing of Alton Sterling by two Baton Rouge police officers last week.  Ieshia Evans, a nurse from Brooklyn, was arrested on Saturday outside the Baton Rouge Police Department during a protest against the killing of Alton Sterling. Photo: Jonathan Bachman/Reuters
