MEXICO CITY (AP) — The notoriously violent Jalisco cartel has responded to Mexico’s “hugs, not bullets” policy with a policy of its own: The cartel kidnapped several members of an elite police force in the state of Guanajuato, tortured them to obtain names and addresses of fellow officers and is now hunting down and killing police at their homes, on their days off, in front of their families.
The Hong Kong Triads got used against the anti-communist protesters last year. They're just tools of the pigs, no matter who they are.
At least my understanding is they just attacked as a way to maintain their control over "their territory".
Nah, the HKPD has a long history of using the Triads to suppress dissent going back to the 1960s and before.
