Hong Kong police seem to have hit the unsweet spot for incompetence and brutality. Having studied protests for a long time, I’d say they rank high in terms of incompetence for crowd control but are constantly upping their misconduct ratings. Every week I was there they got worse.

Video clearly shows that the only acceptable protest gear is slim black necktie and complete badass attitude. What a hero.
