What's going on here? Did the rioters capture these policemen?

The CCP needs to get a grip on the corruption and abuse of power. It's more than a question of moral discipline that internal anti-corruption education campaigns are going to solve. It's a structural problem. There needs to be more checks and balances of local officials through the courts, ombudsmen, and anti-corruption task forces for each province. More citizen input into local police chiefs and government officials would go a long way. Citizen complaints should also be a weighing factor in promotions. Corruption was the undoing of the KMT and the government of South Vietnam. The communists knew the hatred of corrupt officials and capitalized on it.
