I think they’re suggesting that the government then extrajudicially executed the tank man.
One would wonder what the government would stand to gain from killing a nameless man who stood in front of some tanks, delaying them for a few seconds. Wanted to stop him from standing in front of more tanks?

Going to stop you right there. They did it because they needed a moment of individual brutality that makes the audience feel bad for the people the villains are oppressing, so it is satisfying when the heroes go in and stop the evil dictatorship at the end of the movie. I would’ve preferred if they showed a scene with tank man’s loving family before he was brutally killed to inspire the good guys, but they probably had to leave that on the cutting room floor so the overall flow of the scene worked better.
Tank Man was hauled off (by either fellow civilians or plain-clothes cops, we’ll never know), and the tanks drove home.
The violence was the day before.

I think it’s easy to get to that conclusion if you only have the image to go by and haven’t researched more into what happened.
Good on china if they were lenient on the guy.
They acknowledged that the video shows the guy was able to leave unharmed.
