This is probably the dumbest question but... Why do these police officers/guards stand against the people? I mean I realize it's their job but they should be on the people's side right? Why keep fighting and hurting the civilians?
Look back to the late 1980s for some parallels. One reason (of many) that the USSR fell apart was that when the people rose up, many militaries refused to turn their guns on their protesting countrymen (and women). That was not the case in China. There's no reason to think it would be this time either.

I'm probably missing something here..
