Police in Shandong Province Open Fire On Falun Dafa Practitioner

During mid-May of 2006 Huang Weitang repeatedly led a group of police officers from Rizhuang Town to Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Shan's home in Yuanli Village, Rizhuang Town to harass him. One morning, at around 11 o'clock, just as Wang Shan was leaving the house to pick up his granddaughter from kindergarten, Huang Weitang and four other people suddenly rushed into his home without a warrant. Without showing the required documents, they ransacked his home and took away Dafa books. Even the granddaughter who is not even six years old could not help but shout indignantly at them: "You get out of here!"

On May 15th, 2006, at about 8:00 p.m., a group of local policemen, including Li Shihua, from Rizhuang town, went to Falun Dafa practitioner Li Dewei's home in Dishang Village, Rizhuang Town. Because Li Dewei did not open the gate, they pounded on the gate, broke it, and entered the room to confiscate Li Dewei's property. They took away Dafa exercise music tapes, and then tried to take Li Dewei to the local police station. However, Li Dewei questioned them and said, "I have never done anything illegal, either in the village or in society in general. The police are not taking care of our chaotic public security conditions in the Rizhuang area, but you are instead wasting your time harassing and persecuting good people. My neighbour and I have just been robbed and are concerned that we can't seem to find anyone who is in charge. Now that you have come here, you should investigate this charge." One of the policemen asked if he was planning to make a report at the local police station and Li Dewei said, "You can count on it!"

Nevertheless, the police attempted to take Li Dewei away by force and Li had to seize the first opportunity to flee. The police officers tightly pursued him and shouted: "Stop, or we will fire!" Soon, the officers indeed opened fire at a kind person who cultivates Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. Li Dewei escaped death by a hair's breadth.

The villagers who witnessed these events unfolding in the middle of the night heard the gunshots and the outrageous behaviour of the police. They sighed and said, "What is the world coming to? Now, it is difficult to be a good person. We all should worry about this society in which nobody cares when a family is robbed but embezzlement and corruption are booming, local thugs are domineering and tyrannical, and nobody dares to speak the truth. How can common people enjoy life? The police and bandits have ganged up together."
