Wirecard hired actors to fool auditors

So is the violence of the police and of other government agencies (think sheriffs enforcing eviction orders) acceptable? When is legitimate use of force crossing the line to abuse? When are people allowed to defend themselves?

It's funny to see how in many Western governments the (legitimate!) protest of the people in Hongkong is cheered upon, but BLM, Yellow Vests other domestic protests are discarded...

Saying "violence is unacceptable" is something one can only say as a member of the privileged majority. For minorities, for marginalized people, for poor people though... the lines are way more blurry than blanket black-and-white statements.

And for the record: I'm not a friend of pointless militant acts but I will not dare to judge over anyone not as privileged as I am to come to a different opinion.

Why did you make up that BLM, yellow vests and whatever random domestic protest you made up isn't supported and only HK is?

Alright, you are now arguing that in response to violence, counter violence may be acceptable and therefore my post must be coming from a position of privilege. My statement was about the original act of violence. It would benefit everybody to focus on that one, instead of immediately screaming "but I have to be allowed to punch back!!!1"

P.S.: You have no idea about my gender, skin color, sexual orientation or social class. Please don't just assume things.
