      In HK: the police calmed the protests with no deaths attributed to the police, only the protestors such as the girl's suicide and the man they lit on fire.

      In USA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiU8sL7Yq9Q

        The man lit on fire survived, but there was the old dude the protestors hit with a brick [that you link below, but he wasn't the same as the arson victim] and that protestor who fell off a ladder or something and died.

            I didn't know about the suicide, so debateably it was 3. Anyway, I appreciate your integrity.
