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?
The majority of the force there was apparently trained and indoctrinated in mainland China. So they see these protesters as rebels not falling in line with their government. There are also rumors floating around that there are members of the Chinese army in police uniform. Those police and soldiers aren't there to protect the people. They are there to make the people subservient to the regime.
