Now riot police have come out and are haranguing the crowd by loudspeaker. Tear gas gun is out. Every single time, the police escalate. Absolutely no reason to confront people tonightpic.twitter.com/qL62B6lwCi

Here's the police officer haranguing the crowd. They are not happy to hear her. This is in the middle of a busy main street, with kids and elders around.pic.twitter.com/K6qzkSiSb8
Police could resolve this entire situation by going home. Total failure of leadership by whoever commands this exhausted and demoralized police forcepic.twitter.com/e4qKheFLJ6
I can't get enough of Captain Hand Mirror. They don't teach this stuff at the Academy! You gotta learn it on the streetspic.twitter.com/lwB66bwQ24
Police could have avoided this mess by not beating and hospitalizing multiple people at the subway station right under their police station. Sometimes a brief walk to the next station is worth itpic.twitter.com/sxWvOiRoXQ
Police also hassling press photographer with bright light. Police for days now have seemed tense and exhausted, and far more indiscriminate in their hostilitypic.twitter.com/U57RTwoEWb
Very common Hong Kong protest dynamic. Riot cops are flexing, press is tweeting, and fruit juice stand across the street has mango, watermelon, apple, but is all out of fuckspic.twitter.com/dNhjUIdpm6
Hong Kong's Very Special Forces now hoisting a banner to indicate illegal assembly at Mong Kok station while shining bright lights that make the banner invisiblepic.twitter.com/ZgEPFT3a2C
Cops are bluff-charging protesters and leveling rifles at people shining lasers. All this would end if the cops just went inside.pic.twitter.com/zNN4LVqj6D
If Hong Kong police want to rumble tonight, they're going to have to overcome this formidable styrofoam barricadepic.twitter.com/ZyzOABZbUd

A small line of frontliners has formed and advanced; only one of them has protective gear. These kids are brave as hell.pic.twitter.com/m3jlPr1c8v
The logic of these kids is that they're creating a target for police to protect others. They face a potential ten years in jail for "rioting". I just want the police to go home; this is in their power to deescalatepic.twitter.com/Vfe4pwsd10
Situation at 23:30 is static. Going home and hoping people decide to do the same with no one getting hurtpic.twitter.com/LOSZLEmCU1
