Are you in China? Could you explain/give context to the violence shown here: https://twitter.com/AF632/status/1238704923417575424

Honestly? Unless I missed something, that's a totally OK level of force. They did not hit, beat, trample or otherwise assault that guy. They were rough, but not violent. As rough as required to get him out. I'm sure he was bruised, that's part of resisting. But no, I see no violence there. I say this as someone who is European and politically left-wing (i.e. against government authority).
Context matters - we're not talking about making arrests here.
