On May 26, Shanghai citizens confronted the police face-to-face:
“Tell your children that your daily job is to lock other people’s children in their homes, keeping them from going to school or seeing a doctor! Today you purge others — one day, you will be purged too!
Since you’re taking this salary, you must bear the responsibility that comes with it.
Your wages are paid with the taxes of all of us. If we don’t pay taxes, you won’t get a single cent!
Either solve the problem, or being scolded by us — that’s the government’s job!”
