四川瀘州市龍馬潭區10月17號下午，突發萬人群體事件，當地民眾在網上發佈消息說，事件起因是3名交警將一名駕駛運魚車的司機，拖下車毆打致死，引起公憤，導致上萬人抗議，而當局派出的大量警方人員與現場民眾發生激烈衝突，警方施放催淚彈驅散人群，還有人被警方打得頭破血流，數輛警車被掀翻燒燬，現場猶如硝煙瀰漫的「戰場」。
但是，瀘州市政府新聞辦10月18號發出的通報，卻說司機是因病身亡。並聲稱事件已得到平穩處理，沒有造成人員傷亡。
瀘州市政府對事件的回應，再次引起瀘州網民的憤怒，除了譴責政府的謊言，還不斷上傳事件現場的圖片和錄像，而官方也不斷刪除相關帖子。目前，大部分相關微博已被刪除，更多的民眾上網尋求真相。

美國駐聯合國前大使、羅姆尼的高級外交顧問、美國著名智庫AEI資深專家John Bolton，10月11號在馬里蘭州共和黨的一個競選活動上說，「中國大陸法輪功學員被活摘器官是非常嚴重和關鍵的議題，美國需直面這一議題，採取強硬的立場，捍衛和堅守美國的基本價值觀。」
John Bolton是在回答法輪功學員現場提問時說的這番話。當時，一名余姓博士提問說，過去13年來，一億法輪功學員遭受迫害，很多法輪功學員被中共活摘器官以牟取暴利。而國際社會在過去對此過於沉默。她希望羅姆尼向中國發出強硬的信息，停止迫害，停止活摘法輪功學員器官。
John Bolton表示，如果羅姆尼能當選，他將對此採取強硬態度。因為這將非常關鍵性的向世界展現，美國所追求的不僅僅是美國的利益，同時還有美國的價值觀。
