HK Protesters creates world-class propaganda.
@25 Aug - Tsuen Wan: a powerful "police brutality" photo was captured and spread.
Here's the full story behind the making of this photo.
STEP 1: Break the law and lure out polices
Firstly, HK Protesters will break the law and get polices to come and enforce the law (nothing works better than smashing a police car window).
STEP 2: Provoke the polices
HK Protesters will than aggressively provoke and assault the polices. For example, outnumber them than chase them down and beat them with weapons.
STEP 3: Provoke and push Police towards edge
HK Protesters continue to provoke and escalate as much as possible until police escalates forces or make mistakes.
STEP 3: Stop immediately as Police escalate forces
Once the opportunity has arrived, the violent protester will quickly retreat and "innocent protesters" (dressed as first aids, reporters or civilians) will be in position.
STEP 4: "The Civilian" jumps out and take the hit
The innocent protester will jump out at the middle of the conflict and force the police to make mistakes. Also pro-protesters first aids will be in position to help the victim for good public image.
STEP 5: Find a good camera angle
Reporters will be ready to capture the incident in multiple angles. Just pick the clip that makes the polices look most crazy .
STEP 6: Well done! Now Share video in social media!
Now share it on social media with an emotional tile, than watch everyone condemn the police!
