No need to go all the way to Hong Kong for examples. There's been plenty of violence by security forces with 100's of heavily wounded and a few deaths in the yellow vest protests in France recently. Here's a partial list up until January this year: https://www.liberation.fr/apps/2019/01/la-carte-des-gilets-j...

We're talking people losing their hand(s), eye(s) or dying here.

Same for the Barcelona protests (non yellow vests).

You'll have to search quite a bit to find articles on those if you live in "the West", but yeah they do happen.

On topic: if only Macron and Winnie the Pooh could somehow circumvent the encryption of those pesky protesters...
