    The military allowed those other protesters to rush him to a hospital and allowed the hospital to treat him. Why didn’t the military stop them?

      Queer, we’ve met a couple of times on this platform. We both know you would not extend the same benefit of the doubt to, say, the forces perpetrating the 1968 Orangeburg massacre. They too allowed people to be treated by hospitals. They too allowed protesters to be rushed to safety after being shot. Hell, they even took them there themselves.

      So why would we do that to the military?

        There’s a vast difference between someone getting run over and someone being shot. Being run over can actually be an accident. Opening fire is never an accident.

        Also, people get gunned down by the US government all the time. It’s extremely common. China doesn’t resort to that kind of violence nearly as often.
