Even Russia is acknowledging the police are shooting back.

"A group of protesters is trying to take the building of the ROVD in Alma-Ata, the police are shooting back"

Quick reminder: while 🇰🇿 #Kazakhstan is a neighbor of 🇷🇺 Russia, it is also a neighbor of 🇨🇳 China.

Almaty, for instance, is about 280 km from the Chinese border.

Nor will I.

I'm committed to reporting events, not exploiting someone's gruesome outcome.

The die is cast.
