Since I'm kind of trapped in a mall, let's talk about first aiders and the press! They play an important role when the cops do show up

I wrote somewhere that protesters tend to describe what they are doing in the language of care. Frontliners say they are protecting everyone else by interposing themselves between the bulk of protesters and the police. supply people in back express concern for frontliners

This language of care has something to do with civic culture here that I don't understand. It's part of the glue that keeps the very disparate factions of this movement united. The first aiders fit right into this schema!

Now, THIS is an example of discipline, restraint, proportionate reaction worthy of respect. The very qualities HK police sorely lack. Wherever they show up, there is disorder, fires, destruction, screams of terror followed by bleeding heads n broken bones.
