Historically speaking, a safe bet

Depends. At 4am you don't want to be under tank treads.

Eye witness account plus video

Pretty famously, he climbed directly up on the tank and chewed out the driver, then got back down and continued to block the tank. Others in the crowd pulled him away back down the street. The tank didn't try to run him over, he was never reported captured, and as far as we're aware he's alive to this day.

Imagine an American climbing onto the hood of an ICE van or stubbornly maneuvering in front of a vehicle.

I’m old enough to remember the footage being on live and the hope that this action brought to the world.

Sadly a few weeks later tanks rolled over everything on Tianmen Square flattening bikes and human bodies alike.

ICE is shit and everybody involved needs to rot in jail but so far they have not flattened anything with a tank. Given the chance they no doubt will murder people at the scale it happened on Tianmen Square.

Comparing wannabe mass murderers (ICE) to accomplished mass murderers (CCP) doesn’t really help painting the wannabes as bad as they are.

Theres no images of human bodies crushed by tanks in tiananmen square. Theres some who were shot on their bikes, in the surrounding streets, probably by police.
