For me all this situation looks like a foreign intelligence's work: look, less of all China needs all this riots now. In recent years China and Dalai-Lama both had more calm rithorics, China have built a unique highland railway to Lhasa, they've made restoration of Potala, they've spent a lot of money into infrastructure of region increasing life's level of Zhang as well (which they didn't couple of decades earlier). But with increasing of infrastructure a lot of foreign "humanitarian" organisations appeared and opened their offices in Tibet. And now just before the greatest celebration which is object of national pride some gang of not very cool-minded persons starts to ruin all this without ANY trigger reason. This is VERY important - because all social disorders with internal reason usually start after some trigger happening this can be an order of authorities, ethnical crime or something. In case with Tibetans there was no such happening which in sum with growth of "humanitarian organisations" may point at foreign intelligences work. Somebody is interested in destabilizing China.
That's why I peronally won't boycott Olympics (though anyway I won't be able to visit them).
As for use of force - If I was the decision making person in the Police and if on my territories was a riot and if I had information that mob is killing civilians and burning their homes and properties - having in mind a task of preservation of my soldiers lives - I would give an order to use firearms. And being at soldier's place having such an order... That's why I don't serve - I hate such decisions and I undertand that they are inevitable in any country East, West or elsewhere... Remember France in 1968 or 1969 (don't remember exactly).
And that's another reason why I personally won't boycott Olympics.

Best Regards
