Furious Chinese Rioters Beat Corrupt Policemen To Death
It appears, based on these extremely graphic images, that the Chinese people has a different way of dealing with corrupt officials. As Shanghaiist reports, a riot involving around 1,000 people broke out last Saturday in Cangnan county of Wenzhou city, Zhejiang province, resulting in the hospitalization of five chengguan, China's notoriously abusive and under-regulated urban enforcement officials. The alleged cause for the riots was the five's brutally killing a civilian. According to reports, the chengguan "hit the man with a hammer until he started to vomit blood, because he was trying to take pictures of their violence towards a woman, a street vendor." This man later died while being rushed to the hospital. Given the following images of civilian retribution; is it any wonder, the powers that be in China fear social unrest?
[Background: Chengguan is a name given to the City Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau, a municipality police that exists in every Chinese city. Chengguan are notorious for their brutality and generally hated far and wide for it. Their purpose is to enforce municipal bylaws, but they like to resort to violence and often use it against those with no means to fight back.]
The incident began...
Recently, a man noticed Chengguan abuse a local female vendor in Cangnan County of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and pulled out his cell phone camera to document their notorious brutality.
Chengguan didn’t like it and since they enjoy almost limitless impunity, they had the man hit in the head with a hammer.
The man was taken to a hospital where he succumbed the following day.
The following report by SCMP describes what happened immediately after the five's act of violence:
"Angered by their violence, the crowd surrounded the officials and prevented them from leaving the scene. The tension further increased after internet rumours [sic] began circulating that they had beaten an onlooker to death.
Eventually the officials were forced to seek refuge in a van, according to eyewitnesses at the scene. Members of the crowd carrying sticks and stones then smashed the van and assaulted them through windows, they told South Metropolis Daily."
According to eyewitness accounts, the crowd -- which was growing at an alarmingly rapid pace -- was shouting for the chengguan to be murdered on the spot for what they did, yelling: "Kill them! Kill them!" They proceeded to beat the five until they were bloodied and unconscious, and later collectively tipped over the ambulance that had arrived to provide medical treatment.
But this is not the first time...
This incident is yet another chapter in the seemingly endless saga of both chengguan brutality and corresponding civilian backlashes: The sentencing of just a few years in prison to four chengguan who collectively killed a watermelon vender in July 2013 incited widespread protests on Weibo, while a villager poured sulfuric acid on 18 chengguan in Xiamen just a few months prior. Just one month before the Xiamen incident, the execution of street vendor Xia Junfeng for killing two chengguan also sparked public outrage, with netizens comparing the severity of Xia's sentencing with the arguably unfairly lenient suspended death sentence of Gu Kailai for confessing to the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood.
This is the inevitable consequence of letting the public to lose faith in the law enforcement and the justice system, especially when dealing with wrongdoings of government officials. There are other nations headed down the same path.

Nemesis: Retributive justice in its execution or outcome.
Cant see China becoming a super power for a long time. However China and Russia coalition is a different story....and this coalition with a failing bankrupt USA whose military ability must erode through lack of funding and resources.......means its days of being a super power are limited.
Just an observation but it seems that China is like it is because it is full of Chinese people.
The most dangerous superstition: that "authority" exists.
Incidents like this give me hope for humankind. If more people come to the realization that it's impossible for one man to have "more rights" than another, and hence have "authority" over another (police and the State), then humans can have a bright future. Of course I prefer that people come to this realization in a nonviolent way.
There is hope. Eschew violence. The State is force and violence. Embrace peace. Reject the State.
Well, someone should email the Albequerque Police a link to this article.
"this is what democracy looks like." ?
This is fabulous news .
I love it when some fuck wit poncing civil servant gets it for being a fucking arrogant prick.
I think this is a good time to think about this, and hopefully the next time some fucking neo Nazi corrupt thieving traffic cop or some poncing local civil servant starts to give you a hard time the peoples court of instant justice beats them to a stinking bloody pulp too,
Now where to start, Chicago, New Orleans, SF too many choices just now. How about W DC I can think of one fucked up kenyan monkey needs to get hammered
Just civil servants demanding licences, interfering with the market and price discovery. Same as bankers really.
What China is going through is thugrocacity. In every level of China's communist government there is corruption. If anything, as the country has grown exponentially the last two decades, corruption has not only kept pace, but grown even faster. Its always been around because so litlte opportunity existed while China was just another poor country. Think Mexico. Same thing everywhere with poor countries. But with China we have a country that has risen from poverty to relatively great wealth in GDP, in a relatively short period of time. Not time enough for generations of Chinese to turn from corrption and instead seek out the legal opportunities that abound. But in there lies another problem in China. The system is so corrupt you have to know people higher up in government to pursue any substantial business, other than a road side stand, or you have to pay homage to higher government officials (Bribes). The government is still reticent to enforce laws against corruption. They would just as soon pound your ass into the ground for complaining. So, when you question how the people of China could be so vicious and ready to serve as judge and jury, consider what they're dealing with. What everyone in China understands and government officals most fear, is power comes in numbers. China's future will be blanketed with civil unrest.
NOT A CORRUPT POLICE MAN....ACTUALLY A BANKSTER!!!
Makes you wonder when something similar will happen in the US.

Great news for tourism!!!!!!!!!
In the photo where the van is on it's side and is surrounded by 5000 people note how many are holding up camera/phones, more than half. I find this surreal, and know not its motivation.
Looks like an average Saturday night in some of the backwoods bars round these parts.

Huh, whadya know. Nike makes "shit-kickers."
Let's all get on our knees and pray to our deities that someday those poor police will be substituted with bankers, politicians, lobbyists and the putrid goose-stepping security forces that take their dirty money to keep it all going.
"Respect my existence or expect my resistance."
The Cineese know how to handle their Police Pig Gangs!! Good for them1
Fuck I hope they don't kill everyone, who would assemble my new I-phone?
Chengguan translates into English as "Bureau of Land Management".
Are the Rothschilds in absentia? Anyone know?
sulphuric acid.....nice touch.
"From Wenzhou city, to Wall Street's canyons".
Street justice. Viddy well little brother. Viddy well.
Ehhh... these black pajama mall ninja monkeys might think twice before stomping on their next street vendor.
So officially 'chinese' citizenism is more liberty-seekingist than 'american'ism.
No sitting there like a helpless tortoise without a shell screaming "don't tase me bro!"
They had it, they killed the aggressors.
Best Nike commercial ever!
