This was a exactly my thought. Waze does the same thing.I wonder why Waze is still allowed... What do you say Apple?
Extremely disappointed in Apple.

Yes. Waze allows its users to add pins for speed traps so people know where to avoid / slow down. It’s updated in real time.
Again, if protesters are using the app to pinpoint the police in order to attack them with clubs, hammers, and incendiaries, you good with that?
.Uhh, really dude? Are you listening to yourself? Ever been surrounded by fifteen men, all with the intent to seriously hurt you, swinging at you with metal rods or a hammer? A hammer was definitely involved. It’s evident in the video and one of the news outlets highlighted it.
If I’m in that situation, I’m pulling out any advantage I can get to scare them away. Now would I have actually shot someone? Maybe not. But I wasn’t in those circumstances. What if someone grabbed his gun and shot HIM?
I think it’s pretty ballsy of Apple to pull an app like that at this point in time and they will feel the backlash of this for sure. But the protests are definitely getting out of hand. There’s nothing much peaceful about them anymore.
I am going to tell you that is where my family came from. So I have first hand experience. In addition, with background in military training as a vet.Which include the use of lethal force if someone is trying to murder you. And btw, did the protester die? If not, it’s not murder. If so, it’s homicide but not necessarily murder. Unless you know the law, don’t play with legal terminology. I’m sure all this seems simple from your couch, and that in the middle of the melee the officers must’ve had plenty of time for a rational warning to the guys swinging billy clubs and hammers at their heads, but as I posted above, you should really watch the video footage to understand what actually happened.
So that makes it okay to beat one to death with a hammer. Interesting perspective. I guess the way to sleep well after beating an officer to death with a hammer is to dehumanize him first.What authority does a communist police officer have? By what agency do they have that power?
The people of Hong Kong are fighting for the freedom of their children, lest they end up like Xinjiang. The Police supporting the authoritarian dictatorship are nothing more than criminals.
Did you know that there are undercover cops that dress up as protestors and started to act violent?So that makes it okay to beat one to death with a hammer. Interesting perspective. I guess the way to sleep well after beating an officer to death with a hammer is to dehumanize him first.
Not relevant to this. If people were piling on top of cops and attacking them with clubs, wrenches, and hammers, I’d completely expect one of them to be shot regardless of whether or not the person was a plant or an actual protester. If it were a plant, I submit he needed better training on how far to take his pretend protesting.Did you know that there are undercover cops that dress up as protestors and started to act violent?
Honest question, did you read or see the traditional Chinese versions of the reports?
Yes speeding is sort of accepted but you will still get a ticket. Hitting people with hammers, pipes, or other blunt objects is less accepted in society. Should one be able to argue that if Bob can speed Bill should be allowed to hit people with a hammer? MaybeIn America, driving over the speed limit is OK because "good people" do it. We like to focus only on law-breaking that's done by "bad people".
Discuss.
I can tell you in the USA where I live you swing at a police officer with any type of pipe, plastic or otherwise you'll get shot and it won't be once.Not relevant to this.

This is a move purely to keep the Chinese government happy. Shame on apple and captain cook.
Look who's talking.Good on Apple for stopping violent mobs from using Apple platform to break legitimate laws. Those so called demonstrators are nothing but thugs and violent mobs. Anyone thinking they are saintly has been brainwashed by the media you read.
Protesting is fine. Protesting with tons of violence is not fine. The protestors in Hong Kong currently use waaay too much violence against the police. Does people here understand why the protestors use this app, or are people just Sanders fans and want to allow anything and everything? They track the police for the purpose to use violence. This is not ok regardless of which country it occurs in.

"Tsang Chi-kin was shot in the chest at point-blank range on Tuesday"
Way to go fake news for spinning the story leaving out critical parts. Him and his fellow rioters were attacking a police officer with hammers and metal pipes. The guy who was shot just swung at the officer. Go swing a metal pipe at a police officer in the free USA and see what happens.
I'm all for peaceful protest and even war but if you attack violently don't cry when you're attacked back.
