A video shared by the Hong Kong Democracy Council on Nov. 21 shows two men followed by what appear to be Chinese Communist Party (CCP) thugs in San Francisco. The two had apparently engaged in anti-CCP protests. One of them yells a slogan against Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Then, a man is brutally beaten to the ground, left bleeding, and knocked out. When the police arrive, his foot twitches uncontrollably. The video cuts to a hospital, where he is shown lying motionless on a gurney, with cuts and bruises on his face.
